A Special Custom Order for Susanna ~ 'Hand Quilted Needle Case' Kit

Here is everything* that you will need to make your very own Hand Quilted Needle Case' just like the one that Sarah made.  

 

Sarah says....."I was once told by an experienced seamstress, that you should replace your hand sewing needle after 12 hours of sewing.  I must confess I have in the past had a favourite needle that looked particularly worse for wear before I finally changed it.  But it has to be said that the moment that I did, my sewing instantly improved and my stitches became neater and it glided through the fabric like a sharp knife through butter.   I therefore keep a healthy supply of packets of needles at home ready for some happy stitches.  I designed this case to hold my go to Favourites for English Paper Piecing, Needle Turn Applique, Hand Embroidery and Big Stitch Hand Quilting, which cover all my hand sewing needs.  Happy Stitches, Sarah".
