I really enjoy getting the Sew Hip magazine, I love how it is great for all levels and is not crammed full of clothes only, and you get a pattern sheet for all of the makes inside. If you don't already get it, it is well worth a look it is published monthly by Kalmedia and is £3.99.
In the July magazine there was a pattern and instructions to make this little origami needle case.
I cut up the fabric I had left over from a Boden top I bought from a charity shop a while back to make these cases.
The pattern is provided for these, I traced it onto greaseproof paper so that I didn't have to spoil the pattern.
Here they are almost done.
And voila, with felt insides and a little embellishment to the front, my little origami needle cases.
They were really quick and easy to make so I make a few whilst the iron was out!

Lovely! I've brought that mag before but it just sits on the side, never get around to making anything! :)
It's cute. But do people actually use needle cases?
Jane, I do! I love them, I have one in my sewing box and one that lives with my sewing machine and one for my sewing tin that travels with me.

Lovely cases Kandi! I love that mag too. I get it every month. There's always at least one lovely item I want to make. Lynda xx
I sometimes buy Sew Hip - it has some great little ideas in. Your needlecases look lovely.
I'd never have thought to cut up fabric with such a big print into such small pieces but it looks really effective! :)
Wowee those cases are gorgeous!
I've never bought that magazine before but I'll start straight away!!
