This project started with 2 thrifted linen shirts and 1 piece of thrifted linen fabric.
The results were 3 simple and clever little needlebooks and one pincushion. Patterns for these projects can be found in Sew Pretty Homestyle.
Making these little charmers is very rewarding. They are simple to sew, fun to embroider and can be completed in a short amount of time. 
Best of all, they are practical. See that snap on the cover of each case? Keeps your needles secure in their pages, yet easier to access when you need them than a button closure would be. Love it!

Love them! Love the contrasting fabric inside too. Sew pretty. ;-)

ReplyDeleteWow! They're fantastic. Using clothes for crafting projects is one of my favorite things to do. They turned out so cute.
ReplyDeleteDid you have a blog makeover? Love the banner :)
Great use of making something old new again! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI love the snaps! And that pear - I have had pears on the brain recently.
ReplyDeleteoh, I love your little needlebooks! especially the green one with the flowers...adorable! I need to make myself one.
ReplyDeleteThey’re so great! Made from thrifted shirts, what a fabulous idea! I have the book, all I need is time to make all the stuff!
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable! I just love 'em and will have to try this myself!
ReplyDeleteKatherine, these are lovely. Thanks for the link for the book, I would love that, are there some projects for beginners, if not I could give it to my sister-in-law, she is handy with a needle and machine like you. Oh I wish I was clever. x
ReplyDeleteThese are so gorgeous, thank you for sharing :o)
