Southern Ridge Trading Company - Needle Book

Hello, my friends!

Today I'm sharing a fun little needle book
that I created for Southern Ridge Trading Company.
Sadly, this will be my final Design Team project.

I've combined the Large Tags, 
and some pieces from the  Dressmaker Mix.

Here it is:

Here's what I used to make it:

I began by heat embossing the sewing machine green, and the scissors silver.

I covered the front and back of the tag using some fun sewing themed papers.

I inked all the outside edges with green ink, and the inside edges with orange ink.

I added an orange eyelet, and a couple of buttons.

Here's the finished front and back cover.

Here's what I did on the inside:

I found a die shape that I liked,

and I used it to cut four pieces of white felt - two for each side.

Twice I stitched two pieces of felt together using orange thread. 

I then adhered the felt piece onto the inside of the finished tag.

I used liquid glue to do this, and kept the glue around the outside edges only,

right under the stitching. 

The two pieces of felt offer a nice cushion,

so it's very easy to slip your needles in.

I then added some more buttons.

Finally, I added a binder ring through the eyelets, 

and tied some matching ribbons around it.

I confess that I really love this fun needle book,

and I had a really great time putting it together!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Sadly, this is my final DT project for SRTC. 
They are making some changes 
and they will no longer have a Design Team.
