My sister Payal never ceases to amaze me. If you met her, she wouldn't strike you as the crafty type. My mom and I have tried numerous times to teach her to knit & crochet, but she hasn't shown much of an interest. On Christmas Day, she proved me wrong when she demonstrated how talented of a seamstress she is! I've been dying to make a needle case for some time now. I bought 4 pieces of upholstery fabric from Joann Fabrics on Xmas Eve. Payal offered to help, and initially, I was relucant to accept her offer because I thought she would become bored and leave my high and dry! Instead, she basically took over the entire project and whipped it out! I've realized that I don't have the patience to properly use a sewing machine. Payal, on the other hand, knows how to thread a bobbin, sew straight lines, and how to use a seam ripper. Thanks Payal!
I used the patten from Stitch & Bitch Nation: A Knitter's Handbook. To accomodate smaller needles & my growing collection of DPNs, I added a smaller piece of fabric to create two rows, instead of one.
