Vintage Doily Needlebook

vintage doily needle book

I admit its probably a scrap of lace, not specifically a doily but I'm still over the moon with how this little needle book turned out. This is by far the neatest sewing I have done so far, which isn't to say its very neat but its getting there. The fabric is the same linen and cotton blend that I have been using for my warm bags, the inside of the needle book has beige felt and a blue with white polka-dot cotton fabric. The red button is from Megan, and I may need to hit her up for some more vintage buttony goodness very soon.

I remember sitting and making my needlecase when I was little. For some unknown reason I chose orange and brown though... yours is so much nicer!

Love the way the lace looks! I made a needlebook once for a Christmas gift, but never quite got to making one for myself, and I really want one!
