My beloved needlecase
Finishing
Here is the material you will need to finish your needlecase
-
A piece of fabric to make the inside of the needlecase (approx 20×30 cm)
-
A piece of thick paper or card for the template
-
A piece of thick fusible Vlieseline (I use the S520 quality) or any other material that can stiffen your needlecase
-
A piece of thin fleece
-
A piece of thick fleece
-
A repositionable glue spray
-
Pins
-
Thread and a sewing needle
Here’s what to prepare first.
Print the drawing of the needlecase (to be downloaded in the first post) on thick paper or even on a card and cut it out. This will be your template throughout the assembly.
Cut 2 pieces of Vliesline the size of the template.
Using the iron, fold the edge 1 cm inwards, along the Palestrina stitch and as precisely as possible.
Thoroughly mark the fold.
Lay the linings on the embroidered parts by holding them with a spray of repositionable glue and attach to each corner with a pin.
Assemble the 2 parts of the needlecase with a single overcast stitch with the same thread used for the Palestrina stitch.
Where does the thick fleece go please
The thick wadding is placed on the inner sides of the needle holder and then covered by the inner fabric. These are the sides where you will stitch your needles.
I hope these explanations will help you
