As I mentioned in my last post, I have been using plastic bags for my hand sewing project. There are too many cute tutorials out there to not have a cute needle book and tote for my hand sewing projects.
Plus, most of the projects can be finished in short order.
Short and sweet. How could that be wrong!?

Strawberries remind me of my grandmother and daughters. My grandma had strawberry wall paper in her kitchen and my daughters wore dresses with a similar strawberry pattern. The button and elastic was thrifted from a Christmas gift.
I embellished the pages a bit. I embroidered the word “perle” on some tape and sewed the tape in place. (Perle is my new favorite hand quilting thread.) The pins are from corsages past. Wouldn’t it be cooler if I could remember where from? I did learn that I *need* more embellishment material. 🙂

I took fabric from a Strawberry Fields (by Fig Tree) charm square pack. I used this tutorial for my needle book. Very simple.
Now, I’m almost ready for my couch projects, now on to a tote…
That book is SO cute. I love the colors you chose and the embroidery is an elegant touch! I am totally pinning this!
adorable. i've been wanting to try that tutorial.
I love this so much!
