DIRECTIONS

1. Cut out pages.
Using pinking shears, cut 2 pieces of felt, each 4"×7", leaving a small tab extending 1" extra on the short side of 1 piece (as shown), edged with scissors.

2. Embellish the cover.
Fold the 2 pieces of felt like an 8-page book, with the tabbed piece on the outside, and the tab itself on the bottom of the layers. Cut a 2½"×2" rectangle out of the print fabric, and arrange it on the front of the book so it’s centered nicely. Set your sewing machine to a tight zigzag stitch and appliqué all 4 sides of the fabric square onto the front piece of felt.

3. Bind the book.
Sew the 2 felt rectangles down the center with a straight stitch to join the pages, backstitching at the beginning and end of the seam. Now hand-sew a small snap set into place on the tab and the front of the needlebook, and embellish the tab with a vintage button.

4. Add the extras.
Fill the pages with needles, pins, and needle threaders for your next out-of-the-house sewing project!
