It’s something that I’ve been intending to make for awhile and finally got round to it a few months ago. I’d wanted to make a dpn case because they were stuffed in pencil cases and weren’t organised at all.
I’d made the fabric on my Kromski Harp Rigid Heddle Loom intending it to be a table mat but it was so soft it didn’t seem to want to stay still on the table; so I reused it into the cover for my needle case.
I lined it with some silk left over and added in extra lines so it would fit short and long dpns.
The button is a plastic button that I covered in thread – think the technique is called Passementerie. It was something I saw on Create and Craft TV and thought it was really pretty.
Didn’t follow a pattern for this – just winged it and wish I’d made it a little shorter. Also, i’m sure there was a way to sew it up differently but ended up putting binding on like with a quilt – though it gives it a nice firm edge.
