I was home with flue/ cold yesterday since I did not want to stay inside all day I decide to go outside to get some fabric to sew (yes, sew not knit) a case for my knitting needles. I’ve always liked the needle case pattern in the original Stitch and Bitch book. I just didn’t have a sewing machine or knew how to sew. Then I extorted this from my grandma (not like she’s using it)
Yes, it’s a sewing machine. A nice sturdy (and very retro looking) swedish made Husqvarna. Since this was my first sewing project I thought it turned out pretty good. I found some cool fabrics at my favorite fabric store that was sturdy enough.
This is a picture of it rolled.
Yes that is fabric with little bags printed on it. I thought it was very cute.
On the inside I used very ‘Dutch’ looking fabric (the blue and white) and some cute green squared fabric. For the top some simple plain white cotton.
On the white top flap I made a mistake. You can see it in the picture. I didn’t sew or cut straight and tried to correct it by cutting the fabric and re-sewing so that looks a bit strange. I might cover it up by sewing some other fabric over it, I don’t know yet.
I think it is very cute… hope you all like it too.
