Step 4Create clip-on needle-case
First prepare the fabric for the cover of the needle-case.
Cut a piece of size 15 x 10 cm (6 x 4 inches) from each of the following;-
Fabric used to create the background of the hanging organizer
Double-sided iron-on interfacing
Pattern paper or paper from a sewing or fashion magazine.
Sticky-back plastic.
Following the instructions given with the iron-on interfacing use it to stick the fabric and paper together. Usually this means ironing the interfacing onto the fabric, making sure that the protective paper on the interfacing is facing the iron. Then peel off the protective paper, place the pattern paper on top and iron again.
Finally stick the sticky-back plastic onto the pattern paper to give a protective coating.
Fold the needle-case cover in half so that the case measures approximately 7.5 x 10 cm (3 x 4 inches). If you put the fabric on the outside then you can add an applique. If you have pinking shears use them to trim the edges, if not use plain scissors.
Using an eyelet tool fix an eyelet near the fold at the top of the needle-case cover. Your cover should now resemble the one in picture 1.
Cut a piece of felt that is about 2.5 cm (1 inch) smaller than the cover. Fold the cover and felt together so that they are like a book - see picture 2. Secure the fold with clip and, on the outside, sew about 2mm (approximately 1/8 inch) from the fold so that the stitching goes through both the cover and the felt.
To add an applique to the front of the needle-case, choose a paper cutting from a magazine. Protect the front of the paper with a small piece of stickback plastic.
Cut a small amount of double-sided iron-on interfacing and iron it to the back of the paper, making sure that the protective paper faces the iron.
Trim the excess paper from the edge. Peel away the protective paper and then iron gently to the front of the needle-case. Make sure you use only a cool iron setting and place wax paper over the paper as the paper has a plastic coating that could melt and ruin your iron.
Fasten a snap carabiner to the needle-case. It's now ready!
