ETA: I'm sorry the pics are so dark and yellow. I'd retake them but I already mailed it away. Believe it or not, I already lightened and colour corrected them, apparently just not enough. My apologies! I decided to think outside the box for this challenge. We are to use Felt or Cozy Fabrics as our theme. I made a needle case for a swap on Swap-Bot and it turned out perfect for this challenge!
The case is made of felt except for the front panel. You can just see the very tip of the ribbon I tied into a bow threaded through a hole in each page and tied in the back.
Here you can see the layers I used to make the case.
Onto each page I glued a different white lace. They look pretty right?
Here you can see the bow that ties it all together. You can’t see the ribbon on the front because it is under the label. I hope you enjoy the rest of the blog party! If you like my project, I hope you will visit again. I have subscription thingies on my sidebar!

This is just the best idea for a gift project. I love your needle case. Your pictures are just fine, but I know what you mean sometimes in person they are just so much better. This is a wonderful case!
This is so pretty - it is always a pleasure to have something that is beautiful to look at and functional at the same time. The recipient will think of you every time they reach for it!
