Are there Fairies in your sewing basket?

This little Fairie will keep your pins and needles safe.
She has little silk wings and makes garlands from threads we leave behind!

She is a perfect gift for someone special

. .. but there is no guarantee that she will do your mending for you!    
... sorry, this little Fairie has found a new home !

Every girl should have a pretty needle case

 

 I love felting

 and I believe .. .every girl should have a pretty needle case!

The old and the new ...

I made this needle case years and years ago adding synthetic fabric flower petals

to each nuno felted page. It survives today in spite of being attacked by scissors

in the hands of my young son (along with his doonah, pillowcase and a pair of his shorts)

- I should have known better - instead of blessing the rare silence,

I should have been afraid of it and asked myself what he was up to ...   

 I like to make needle cases and pin cushions

Last night I felted the cover of this one to add to my collection.

Pretty pastel needle case

I embellished the fleece with silk fibres, silk fabric strips

and a small amount of opalescent pink fabric.

Champagne pink is such a gentle colour.

More Wet Felted Needle Cases

I'll be listing these on Madeit . . . once I've sorted out postage.

Wet Felted Alpaca Needle Case

It's finally finished !

A long long time ago ...

I started making this needlecase.

It's made from Alpaca fibre - so fine and soft.

This one's for Mum.
