Everyone needs a place to store their needles, scissors, thread, and other tools they use for projects when they’re on the go! Yes you can buy a plastic storage unit with all sorts of components but wouldn’t you rather have a sweet little handmade booklet to use? In this class you will learn how to nuno felt and make the booklet cover using this technique. For the inside you will cut commercial felt pieces to fit your booklet cover and embellish them with bits of lace, dyed fabrics, buttons, embroidery, and beads. You can also add pockets to store your buttons, needle packs, scissors, and more! Add as many pockets as you want! Felt pages hold needles and pins. On the outside a fabric strip is added to tie and keep the booklet closed for traveling. You may have time to make two!
