ANOTHER NEEDLE HOLDER
I bought these cute needle holder kits at Costume College last year.  This one is in the shape of a heart.  I'm done except I wanted to add some ribbons or decorations to the front but I'll have to find a better fabric store.  The one department store that I found that has some fabric has very little choices of anything.  So for now it is done...
I have another kit that is much larger and complicated that I will want to get some more supplies for before I start it.  I gave this one to Christie Watson.

 THE STEPS - in case you are curious

Fabric is cut about 1/2 inch larger than mat board and glued.  There are main fabric outside and lining pieces.
