Needle holder
Originally uploaded by sukogirl
With a little hand holding, I finally managed to get my sewing machine up and running. It wasn't as difficult and intimidating as it looked. After practicing on some dish rags, I decided that my first project would be to make a hanging needle holder to organize my knitting and crochet needles. I didn't follow any particular pattern, just winged it. I backed the top fabric with canvas to give it a little support. I even played around with some of the "fancy" stitches.

wow! beautiful colors & fabric choices. I like the embroidery up the side... is that a stitch on your machine? A dpn needle case is up there on my list of things to do with my sewing machine. It's great to see this!
