Embroidered Felt Needlecase 4/15/2020 My WI | Embroidered felt needlecase Embroidered felt needlecase This delightful embroidered needlecase makes a beautiful addition to a sewing workspace or as a gift for an embroidery enthusiast. Skill level: Beginner You will need: 3 pieces of wool mix felt (18 x 10cm) in different colours Stranded embroidery cotton in various colours 1 embroidery needle A pair of scissors Pattern template Stitch guide Tip: Please note that all embroidery should be done with only 1 or 2 strands of thread. Simply cut a length of stranded cotton (about 60cm) and pull out 1 or 2 strands from the end. https://mywi.thewi.org.uk/interests/craft/crafts-to-keep-busy/embroidered-felt-needlecase 1/6 4/15/2020 My WI | Embroidered felt needlecase To make: 1. Print and cut out the templates. 2. Cut 3 rectangles of felt, 1 in each colour. Decide which colour will be the outer one (green in the image) and cut 3 decorative circles in the remaining two colours (pink and cream). 3. Take the piece of felt you have chosen as the outer piece (the green one in the image) and fold it in half to find the centre. Mark the crease by pressing with your finger or ironing on a very cool setting. Place the 3 circles on what will be the front of your needle case, with the fold on the left. https://mywi.thewi.org.uk/interests/craft/crafts-to-keep-busy/embroidered-felt-needlecase 2/6 4/15/2020 My WI | Embroidered felt needlecase 4. Embroider the flowers on the front following the stitches listed in the guide. Start with the circles and then embroider the stalks. There is no need to sew the circles on the background first as the embroidery will hold them in place as long as you stitch through both layers of felt. 5. Cut a little strip of felt of 2.5 x 1cm to make a loop for holding your needle threader. Sew onto the piece of felt which will be the lining of the case (pink in the image) with a few small straight stitches. You could place this loop where you want. https://mywi.thewi.org.uk/interests/craft/crafts-to-keep-busy/embroidered-felt-needlecase 3/6 4/15/2020 My WI | Embroidered felt needlecase 6. Place the piece for the insert on top of the lining piece (cream on pink), on top of the needle threader loop. Stitch along the middle with a backstitch. Think of a book and the centre binding line. This stitching will be hidden so do not worry too much about it. 7. Join the two sides of the cream insert hiding the stitching inside. Trim 0.5cm off the long edge. Stitch all the way around with a blanket stitch. https://mywi.thewi.org.uk/interests/craft/crafts-to-keep-busy/embroidered-felt-needlecase 4/6 4/15/2020 My WI | Embroidered felt needlecase 8. Place the outer piece on your work surface, embroidered side down. Place the lining piece (with the insert) on top. Pin around the edges and stitch together with a blanket stitch. 9. When you have finished, fold the case in half and place all your needles in the case. Look out for Corinne’s beautiful Embroidered Pincushion, coming next month. https://mywi.thewi.org.uk/interests/craft/crafts-to-keep-busy/embroidered-felt-needlecase 5/6 4/15/2020 My WI | Embroidered felt needlecase Project design: Corinne Lapierre 2019. www.corinnelapierre.com https://mywi.thewi.org.uk/interests/craft/crafts-to-keep-busy/embroidered-felt-needlecase 6/6.

Sharp embroidery scissors. Felt. I use heathered wool felt as I love the texture and colours. ( details of colours used in this sample below ) Stranded Embroidery thread ( details of colours used in this sample below ) I use three strand in most of my patterns, but experiment with what you feel is right. Craft Foam. 2mm white Gingham ribbon ( if making a hanging decoration ) 1 small press stud Transfering the Design to felt Various Options: Wax Dressmakers Carbon Paper ... This comes in various colours so is usful if you want to transfer your design to darker coloured fabrics, use the white carbon sheet. Place the carbon between the fabric and the printed paper design and trace using a hard pencil or empty ballpoint pen. .Transfer pens ... These work really well and the only downside is the time and care taken in tracing the outline accurately. First trace the design on the reverse of the printed sheet using the heat transfer pen. Lay it tracing side down onto your chosen fabric. Iron the design onto the fabric. I would suggest doing an experiment using some scrap first to determine the length of time to hold the iron on the design before it releases onto the fabric.

  • Cross Stitch a Needlebook
    Cross Stitch a Needlebook By Baroness Lynnette de Sandoval del Valle de los Unicornios Tired of not having the correct size needle handy? Can't fit your beading, tapestry, or leatherwork needles in your needle case? Fear not! This cross stitch decorated needlebook carries a large number of any size needles, neatly and compactly! Needles were a valued commodity during the Middle Ages, not something to be used recklessly or easily replaced. The lady of the manor’s belt chatelaine usually contained a needlecase to keep them near at hand and safe. These needlecases were of many materials: metal, wood, bone, horn, etc, and took many forms, decorative as well functional. Needles are less dear today and we’re more interested in carrying a wide assortment of needles then we are about the needles getting lost, so our chatelaine will include a fabric needlebook rather than a needlecase. We’ll be using cross stitch for the book cover decoration. Cross stitch was used in the Middle Ages, but not in the format we use it today. It was almost never used as the ONLY stitch in a project, and seems to have been used mostly as a base stitch or quick filler. Additionally Medieval cross stitch was often of the “long arm” type when one arm or leg of the X was longer than the rest and was part of the next stitch space. Long arm cross stitch covered more closely and lent it self more to the overall patterns of the time than it does to today’s “spot” decoration.

  • The Sylvia Mary Groves Collection of Sewing Tools
    COLLECTING & PRICING INFO Sewing Tools Market & Price Guide Sewing Tools Market & Price Guide Sylvia Mary Groves Collection, Phillips, 2nd December. “Linking women of history with women of today” Sewing implements have changed little over the last three centuries, except that today, they often lack the beauty and workmanship of those produced in the past. Many of those interested in producing fine work today, enjoy these implements which link women of history with women of today. Sylvia Mary Groves began sewing at the end of the nineteenth century and over the next seventy years amassed a great many historic needlework tools. In the 1940s and 50s she wrote many articles about their history for Country Life, illustrated with photographs of her collection taken by her husband, until in 1966, they produced a book History of Needlework Tools and Accessories. This was the first book of its kind, reprinted twice in the next decade, and still considered a ‘must have’ for anyone interested in the subject. A first edition of her book sold at the Phillips Sale for £127 whilst a third edition fetched £94. They headed a successful sale of the collection of needlework tools from the late Sylvia Mary Groves, along with properties from other vendors. The sale included many items illus- trated in the book and items were presented in lots which followed the chapters of her book. Chapter One - Needlecases Needlecases made from a variety of materials including wood, brass, silver or ivory, were used to keep needles tidy in the sewing box. A smaller version was made for pins, known as a pin poppet.

  • Hand Woven Biscornu Pincushion for MAFA 2015 Side View of 8 Sided
    Hand Woven Biscornu Pincushion for MAFA 2015 Side view of 8 sided pincushion (Biscornu) Have Fun! This particular shape is called a biscornu, meaning "irregular, quirky, complicated, bizarre". And quirky it is... Originally, they were made with linen or other embroidered fabrics. The trick to this pincushion is that the two squares are sewn together, not directly on top of each other as usual, but with a relative 45 degrees rotation. That's it! Sounds easy enough, right? Here is a link to see a good video of the sewing process: A simple biscornu cushion for you to sew by Debbie Shore http://youtu.be/l79t_Q1NJiA Instructions: First: Cut 2 squares 4 1/2" x 4 1/2"of handwoven fabric (matching fabric or contrasting fabrics. Be creative!). Stabilize handwoven fabrics with fusible interfacing if necessary. Use 1/4" seam allowances throughout this project. 1. fold each square in half lengthwise and widthwise and finger press, then make a small clip or notch at the edges to mark the half-way point on each edge 2. With right sides together, place one square on top of the other so that the top square’s side edge is positioned 1/4″ to the left of the half-way mark on the top edge of the lower square. Make sure the parallel raw edges are aligned. 3. Using a 1/4″ seam allowance, begin stitching at the half-way point of the lower square, moving towards the corner. Stop 1/4″ before you reach the corner of the lower square. 4. Here comes the tricky part.

  • PINS, POLITICS, FASHION and SELF-DEFENCE the Pincushion and Its Variants from the 17Th Century to the Early 20Th Century by Robert Bleasdale
    ROBERT BLEASDALE_CHARLES HIND 1 28/08/2012 10:27 Page 26 PINS, POLITICS, FASHION AND SELF-DEFENCE The pincushion and its variants from the 17th century to the early 20th century by Robert Bleasdale oday, there can be few objects in a home as humble Tas a pin; they are stored in plastic containers, cardboard boxes, the padded lids of sewing baskets, or a pincushion of some form. Now the pin is associated with dressmaking and needlework, but its origin from the earliest times to the 17th century was almost exclusively linked to clothing. The word ‘pin’ is derived from the Latin ‘spina’ – thorn – and the tree Paliurus spina-christi bears large thorns which were used as pins in Egypt. Thorns were scraped and dried and then either boiled or fried in oil to harden them to prevent them from snapping. The Egyptians used fish bones to pin closed the eyes of the dead prior to embalming, and like thorns, bones (either worked or in their natural form) made usable pins. Through the Stone, Iron and Bronze Ages pins continued to develop, used for securing clothing or for creating parcels of food wrapped in leaves. As time progressed pins began to develop crudely decorated heads and they became more sophisticated adornments, eventually developing into the Celtic brooch pin. Pins were also fashioned for hair ornaments. Photograph of a French 18th century doll showing how the pincushion (centre bottom) and pockets were worn. The pin in its ‘modern’ form was developed in France where the passion for fashion in the form of veils, wimples, stomachers, lappets, etc demanded vast amounts of pins for import of pins was prohibited by statute.
