Free Tutorials For Needle Books & Cases

Here’s a collection of free patterns and tutorials for sewing / embroidery needle books & cases. I also included a source for an elegant crochet thimble pouch pattern at the bottom (you can attach it to your case if you like).

Materials vary, there are felt, fabric & cross stitch covers. Some are simple, others quite elaborate, I separated them into sections to help keep them sorted.

Enjoy!
