Little Bee Needle Book Kit (Faded Reds)

Here is everything* that you will need to make your very own Faded Red 'Little Bee Needle Book' just like the one that Sarah made.  

 

Sarah says....."You can never have too many Needle Books.  Inside the Little Bee Needle Book, there’s a couple of pockets for bits and bobs, somewhere for your pins and needles and a safe little home for some sharp embroidery scissors! I wanted it to be both functional and pretty and a pleasure to both sew and use.  It includes Hand Embroidery and Hand Quilting…. a lovely project, if like me, you enjoy lots of hand stitching whilst out and about!    Happy Stitches, Sarah".

 

The pack contains the pattern with detailed instructions, plus all the fabrics, including pre-printed cotton/linen mix fabric for the embroidery, wadding, binding fabric, embroidery threads, ribbon, trims & a vintage button.

 

* To complete, you will also need threads for piecing and quilting, a 5” Embroidery Hoop and Basting Glue Spray such as 505 (optional but very handy!)...plus all your favourite notions and tools.

  

The finished needle book measures: Open: 5” x 9 ½”  /  Closed: 5” x 4 ¾”

 

* For the general machine piecing and EPP, Sarah used Aurifil 50wt and for the hand quilting Aurifil 12 wt in number 2311, available HERE .   A 5" embroidery hoop can be found HERE.
