Needle Book with Nancy Nickel

Hello, everyone!

It's Nancy here to show you a fun little Needle Book I created, 
using more fabulous chipboard from Southern Ridge Trading Company!

I've combined the Chipboard Tags, 
and some pieces from the  Dressmaker Mix.

Here it is:

Here's what I used to make it:

I began by heat embossing the sewing machine green, and the scissors silver.

I covered the front and back of the tag using some fun sewing themed papers.

I inked all the outside edges with green ink, and the inside edges with orange ink.

I added an orange eyelet, and a couple of buttons.

Here's the finished front and back cover.

Here's what I did on the inside:

I found a die shape that I liked,

and I used it to cut four pieces of white felt - two for each side.

Twice I stitched two pieces of felt together using orange thread. 

I then adhered the felt piece onto the inside of the finished tag.

I used liquid glue to do this, and kept the glue around the outside edges only,

right under the stitching. 

The two pieces of felt offer a nice cushion,

so it's very easy to slip your needles in.

I then added some more buttons.

Finally, I added a binder ring through the eyelets, 

and tied some matching ribbons around it.

I confess that I really love this fun needle book,

and I had a really great time putting it together!
