Each needlewoman in the process of work has to use needles and pins. They participate not only in sewing, but also in fixing parts, piercing special holes, threading beads and other manipulations that require subtlety and accuracy. When a large number of pins accumulate, it becomes necessary to store them in a separate place. In this case, the craftswomen will help the production of needle beds from felt. Pins and needles will always be at hand, and finding them in a special device will eliminate the possibility of loss during needlework.
Needle case shapes
In theory, you can stick a needle into any small toy made of felt. Since toys are stuffed with padding polyester, they have the shape of a pillow that holds the needle tightly. The main thing is that the toy had one task - to play or store. Craftswomen sew needle beds in the form of a heart, cake, fruits, mushrooms, flowers, berries. They even create hand bracelets so that you can move away from the workplace, having pins with you. Also, many create products for storing needles in the form of books. You can be sewn in the shape of a hare an individual needle case made of felt. With your own hands (the patterns of a small toy are given below) it is always nice to do something original.
Round fixtures
Let's look at how you can sew a product by taking a round jar as an example. Such a needle needle made of felt may look like a cake, a barrel, a stump, an ottoman, a casket. This device is easy to sew, the main thing is that your applications will give it individuality. On a piece of felt of your choice of color, draw two circles with a diameter of not more than 10 cm. You can use a stencil, or you can circle any round object. Then, on the same piece, create a rectangle with a width of 7 cm and a length equal to a circle plus 1 cm. It is better to decorate the product before stitching it. Therefore, use the appliqués for felt needle beds, the patterns of which are given in this article. Attach the drawings to the rectangle with decorative stitches. The side seam can also be decorated with decoration. The upper and lower parts are sewn with an overcast seam. When finished, leave a small hole to fill the needle bar with any material. It can be a synthetic winterizer, rice, chopped nutshells. Such a filler does not allow the needle to become dull for a long time. Complete the job by finishing the overcast seam to the end.
Books
Felt needles can look like books. The cover is sewn of thicker material, the inner pages of thin sheets of felt. The needle bar is very easy to sew. You can choose the size of the book yourself, but do not forget that this is not a literary publication. A cover in the form of a rectangle with dimensions of approximately 20 x 10 cm is cut out of felt having a thickness of 3 mm. The inner pages should be slightly smaller than the binding. Take a felt 1 mm thick and make two parts of it with dimensions smaller than the cover, 2 cm on each side. Sew on the velcro and fasten on both sides with small stitches. We fix the pages in the middle and sew them strictly in the center with threads to the tone of the external material - and now the needle bar is made of felt. With your own hands you can make original jewelry for the product. You can decorate it with images and various elements from improvised material.
Cake
The basis of this product is a metal mold similar to a tartlet. Cut a round element from brown felt. In the pink material, create a through hole corresponding to the bottom of the form for a similar part. This item will be placed inside the cake. Remove the dimensions from the mold itself. We glue our finished parts to the inside and outside of the tartlet. At this point, the needle bar is empty. We need to fill it with a pin pad. Cut a round element from a piece of felt of the desired color, which must be decorated in advance to your taste. It can be small berries, coffee beans, marshmallows and other decorations. Glue the application, and then additionally sew it with a decorative seam. Next, circle the felt around the circle, departing from the edge by 3-4 mm. Tighten the thread and fill the pillow with filler. Cover the open hole of the felt needle case with a round synthetic winterizer part and carefully sew to the material. Use glue to secure the needle bar inside the finished basket. On this work is completed!
