Are you looking for a great place to hold your needle packs when working on a project? If so, my rose embroidered needlecase will fit your needs! This coin-type purse contains several pockets inside that fits any of today’s common flat needle packaging.
The class kit contains two contrasting pieces of fabric (linen) sewn together for you with all the embroidery design lines traced on it. No class time is wasted setting up this project – you can just jump in and start stitching!
