Description

Instructions

  1. Small 1801

    Start by cutting two peices of fabric. One, in the cover fabric, measuring 28" by 26". And one, in the lining fabric, measuring 28" by 18".

  2. Small 1802

    Pin the lining fabric, at 3 edges, to the bottom edge of the cover fabric, so that the extra cover fabric is pointing out of the top.

  3. Small 1803

    Pin a length of ribbon, 18" long, to the fabric so than an inch is sticking out and the remaining ribbon is pinned inside the fabric.

  4. Small 1804

    Sew along the 3 edges, removing the pins as you go, but leaving the top edge (the one along the side with the excess fabric) unstitched.

  5. Small 1805

    Fold this inside out and fold over the excess fabric flap so that it's wrong side is facing out. Pin this at the sides.

  6. Small 1806

    Sew the edges of the flap, removing the pins as you go.

  7. Small 1807

    Fold the flap inside out, so that the right face of the fabric is facing out.

  8. Small 1808

    Measure out how big you want the needle pockets to be and mark out the lines with sewing pins.

  9. Small 1809

    Sew down each of these lines, removing the pins as you go.

  10. Small 1810

    Sew another length of ribbon about 8" in from the first.

  11. Small 1811

    Place your needles in, arranging them by thickness.
