Needle book tutorial

This tutorial shows you how you can create your own needle book from materials you might already have in your home. We turn an old book cover into a needle book to store needles and pins. It’s a great way to try creating your own fabric book, which can be adapted for different uses.

 What will I learn?

  • How to detach a book cover from its pages
  • How to attach a new endpaper on the inside of your book cover
  • Create felt pages to use in your book.
  • Measure and cut your pages to the size of the book
  • Sew the edges with the buttonhole/ blanket stitch
  • Create an embroidered motif using our PDF template
  • How I made the motif in Canva
  • Stitch the motif to your book cover
  • Learn how to attach the felt pages to your book cover using the long stitch binding.

Materials

Here’s a list of materials you will need for the tutorial;

  • An old book cover 
  • Felt squares ( I used three 50x50cm pieces)
  • A piece of patterned paper for the inside of the cover
  • Embroidery floss
  • Linen thread
  • Beeswax
  • Needle
  • Scissors
  • a nice cup of tea

Method

The tutorial is delivered through bite sized videos, subtitled in English. A PDF template of the cloud and rain sticker is also included with a variety of sizes so you can adapt it to the size of your book. Hints and tips available in the notes.
