1

Trim your stitched piece with a

1cm (½in) border. Fold the hems

on all four sides of each piece.

2

Attach the larger front panel to

one of the inside panels using

whip stitch, starting with the top

corner to make sure your stitches

line up correctly. Repeat again for

the other inside panel. Don’t worry

• there is a deliberate gap on the
  inside of the needlecase to make
  room for the felt inner leaf.

3

Cut the felt so that it is slightly

smaller than the height of the

needlecase and quite a bit smaller

than its width. Attach the felt sheet

to the cover by stitching all the layers

together down the spine.
