ANOTHER NEEDLE HOLDER - 6 SIDED BOX THAT HOLDS ANOTHER BOX AND OPENS OUT FLAT.
I finished this needle holder yesterday.  I like the fabric on this one a lot.  I also like the way it folds up and unfolds.  It has a smaller box inside called the thimble holder.  The fabric had a few different designs in the print so that I was able to select one part that has a hex that fit the top of the thimble holder just perfectly.  Later I gave this one to Sister Zimmernink for her birthday.
The Needle holder box as it looks when it is closed.
The bottom of the box is covered too.

The lid off, showing what it looks like when folder up.  The draw string has a clasp that allows the sides of the box to open when the cord is expanded.
Shows the box opened.  The sides of the outer box and second inner box has needle holders .  The small box on the inside is a thimble holder.  I'm going to look for a smaller pair of embroidery scissors for this case but these small gold embroidery scissors fit OK for now.


This is the thimble box.  The pattern called for glueing it to the bottom of the larger boxes, but I chose to leave it as a separate box and I finished off the bottom as well.
The thimble box has the hex print centered on the top of the box.  It worked out very nice.
