More denim reduction!
Today I began working on these needleholders which will ultimately be little surprises for some friends.
This is the outside - made from recycled denim,
of course!!
And here's the inside...
The centre is felt.
EDITED TO ADD: The original pattern for this comes from HERE.
Love your needle cases! Cannot imagine sewing that detailed on denim....wow! Then I checked your link and WOW---how do they DO THAT??? Amazing..... And all I'm doing is baking clay and playing with paint. <:-\
OOOO, I saw his work too. Isn't he amazing! Love your needle keeper. I saw Susan's needlebook and have been thinking I need to make something to keep my needles in too!
Hi MA, so fun that you are working in Denim! I was amazed by the link you posted. Such detail and all in denim. It seemed appropriate that the Swedish/Danish landscapes are in shades of blue. It is winter and dark so much of the year there. Denmark is one of my absolute favorite places, so these spoke to me. Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Hi Magpie! How adorable this is, and what a great idea too!...Those denim pictures are amazing!...As far as the deer go, I feel EXACTLY the same way you do! Have a great night! :D Paulette
Love what you are doing with recyled jeans MA. I have three pairs in a bag waiting to go to the local charity shop - maybe I might change my mind .....? Thanks for dropping by - much appreciated.
Thank you so much for leaving comments! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to talk to me. It's wonderful to know that someone is actually reading my mumblings and even more fun if I can connect with you and visit your blog.
great find, MA. I never seem to stumble upon such awesome stuff
