Each needlewoman in the process of work has to use needles and pins. They are involved not only in sewing, but also in fixing parts, piercing special holes, threading beads and other manipulations that require subtlety and accuracy. With the accumulation of a large number of pins, it becomes necessary to store them in a separate place. In this case, the craftswomen will be helped by making a needle case from felt. Pins and needles will always be at hand, and finding them in a special tool will eliminate the likelihood of loss during needlework.
Shapes of needle beds
In theory, you can stick a needle into any small toy sewn from felt. Since the toys are stuffed with padding polyester, they have the shape of a small pillow that holds the needle tightly. The main thing is that the toy has one task - to play or store. Craftswomen sew needle cases in the form of a heart, cake, fruits, mushrooms, flowers, berries. They even create wrist bracelets so that you can move away from the workplace, having pins with you. Also, many create products for storing needles in the form of books. You can sew an individual felt pincushion in the shape of a hare. With your own hands (patterns of a small toy are given below) it is always nice to make something original.
Round fixtures
Let's look at how to sew a product, taking a round jar as an example. Such a needle bed made of felt can look like a cake, a barrel, a stump, an ottoman, a box. This device is easy to sew, the main thing is that your applications will give it individuality. On a piece of felt of your chosen color, draw two circles with a diameter of no more than 10 cm. You can use a stencil, or you can circle any round object. Then, on the same piece, create a rectangle with a width of 7 cm and a length equal to the circumference plus 1 cm. It is better to decorate the product before sewing it. Therefore, use applications for a felt needle bed, the patterns of which are given in this article. Attach the patterns to the rectangle with decorative stitches. The side seam can also be embellished. The top and bottom pieces are sewn on with an overcast seam. When finishing work, leave a small hole for filling the needle bar with any material. It can be a synthetic winterizer, rice, chopped nut shells. Such a filler does not allow the needle to become dull for a long time. Finish by finishing the overlock stitch to the end.
Books
Felt needle beds can look like books. The cover is sewn from a thicker material, the inner pages from thin sheets of felt. The needle bar is sewn very simply. You can choose the size of the book yourself, but do not forget that this is not a literary publication. Cut out the cover in the form of a rectangle with dimensions of approximately 20 x 10 cm from felt having a thickness of 3 mm. The inside pages should be slightly smaller than the binding. Take 1 mm thick felt and make two parts from it with dimensions smaller than the cover, 2 cm on each side. Sew a Velcro fastener and attach on both sides with small stitches. We fix the pages in the middle and sew them strictly in the center with threads to match the outer material - and now we get a needle bed made of felt. With your own hands you can make original jewelry for the product. You can decorate it with images and various elements from improvised material.
Cake
The basis of this product is a metal mold similar to a tartlet. Cut out a circle from brown felt. From a pink material, create a similar part with a through hole corresponding to the bottom of the mold. This detail will be placed inside the cake. Take measurements from the mold itself. We glue our finished parts to the inside and outside of the tartlet. At this stage, the needle bar is empty. We need to fill it with a pincushion. We cut out a round element from a piece of felt of the desired color, which must be decorated in advance to your taste. It can besmall berries, coffee beans, marshmallows and other decorations. Glue the application, and then additionally sew it with a decorative seam. Next, sweep the felt around the circumference, stepping back from the edge by 3-4 mm. Tighten the thread and stuff the pillow with stuffing. Cover the open hole of the felt needle bar with a round piece of synthetic winterizer and carefully sew it to the material. Use glue to fix the needle bar inside the finished basket. This completes the job!
With the help of a few examples given in this article, you can create your own unique products, making them masterpieces, and give them to your loved ones and friends.
