I had fun this morning making up this Posy Needle Wallet prototype from my new Sew Necessary book.
Do you make prototypes of your small projects?
I learned lots from making this sample. I used scraps from my stash, and I really like the outside colors. I think I would use different colors on the inside. I did make several small errors in constructing this, and I'll know better next time. Reading the directions very carefully would have helped!! I do intend to make a few of these Posy Wallets.. It's a nice size. About 6" tall when it's all folded up. I want to use it to tote all my hand quilting stuff to my Wednesday afternoon hand quilting group.
While I don't have everything in it yet, here's what I intend to carry in my fully loaded Posy Wallet.
- Scissors - (Now I need to make a fob)
- Gum/mints
- Golf size Pencil with eraser
- Pins
- Small pliers
- Small Pad of paper
- Thimbles
- Broccoli Elastic
- Hand Quilting Needles
- A couple of bandaids
I don't bring thread because we leave that with the quilt. Sew...What else would you tote to your hand quilting group?

That is the greatest book isn't it!
Safety pins, a mini ruler. a magnifier... or one of those "owl" magnifiers. Why? because... you just never know.
I love it by the way!
Toooo cute Gail! Would Love to see it "in person"...
The needle wallet is a great idea, it is so pretty.
I am hoping to find a copy of that book.♥
