Needle holders

These are going to be part of our sewing sets. The original ones we made had little poppers on that we sewed on by hand. In a bid to save time and money we opted for sewing on little velcro tabs instead. To ensure the needle holders were fairly stiff we used iron-on interfacing on both the front and inside panels - we think this also adds to the final quality of the product too. We also got to use the new fiskars pinking shears (my birthday pressie!) to cut out the two felt rectangles for the inside. Whilst these are perfect for me & my big hands, my friend has much smaller fingers than me and she found them difficult to handle - literally! Having said that, they cut like a dream!
