Inspired by this little Sun Bonnet Sue needle book that my Grandmother gave me when I was little, I made some of my own for a flickr swap.
I used a 100% wool Pendleton suit that my mother bought me when I graduated college. It had a jacket and two skirts, one plaid and the other plain like the jacket. I could no longer fit into it so I cut it apart and threw it in the washer and dryer. I was left with a "felted" wool fabric that will not ravel.
I added lace and some odd bits of embroidery floss. Inside are two "pages" of wool to hold needles. I used the coordinating solid fabric for that.
The bonnet is a thimble holder!
