I hope this is safe to share. I think my friend should have received it by now (fingers crossed). Here is my first attempt at finishing a needlecase. This is Beardie Design's "Tulip Accessories". I used 32 count Flax linen and Gloriana silk floss. This is the front.
And here is the back. You can see a tiny bit of the inside material that I used. It is a purple fabric with a small purple floral print. I used what I had for the felt to hold the needles, which was just plain old felt. It was a bit thick, but I think it looked okay. I used scissors that make the zigzag edge. This was definitely a learning experience, but I was happy with how it turned out!
