i just finished making up these great needle cases to store my double pointed needles.
the pattern/tutorial came from kathrynivy.com
i added the muslin strips so i could add needle sizes with a sharpie. i know, embroidering them on would have been so much cooler… but sometimes quick is better. i can always make more later. i still need to make a couple more. i thought all my DPNs were 7″ untill i got them out to put them into the cases. turns out i have a few 5″ ones.
next up is a needle roll to store my circular needles in. i found one i like, but it’s vinyl. i’ve worked out how i think i can replicate it in fabric. if i manage to make something decent, i’ll post my pattern design.

Those needle cases are very good-looking. I’ve been using those plastic tubes, which are handy, but not nearly as pretty!
Those are *awesome*!
I love those! I think I know what I will be working on after my kitchen now! I saw some really neat fabric at the store last time I went out!
What a good idea! I’ve seen cases for straight needles, but not dpns. Those are gorgeous.
thank you guys so much! they are really handy… and feel so much nicer than the plastic sleeves that the needles came in.
I love the idea for writing the sizes on the muslin strips! They turned out so well. I am glad that you found the tutorial useful!
Excellent job! I think I may have to give it a try. I love the colors of the material too!
These are fantastic! Thank you for sharing your photos and the link to the pattern!
