For as far back as I can remember, Mum has always had the same needle case. It turns out it was one she had to make whilst in school! Apparently they did absolutely loads in their sewing classes whereas I only really remember making an oven glove, and only the one at that! I asked Mum to make me one for last christmas in the same style as hers and over the easter holidays I thought that Sarah might like one too! So off I went to find the felt! I bought mine from John Lewis whereas the oh so wise mother found hers for a mere £1 in one of the many pound shops in Holyhead!
My friend bought me a really lovely brooch for christmas from the online Fair Trade shop, People Tree and I was really inspired to have a go at something similar myself. Since I had the felt from making Sarah's needle case I thought I'd make my lovely friend one too, even though I'm sure there's not that much sewing she gets up too but hey ho they're always handy for those holes in ya socks hey folks?!
