NEEDLE CASE HELP AND CORRECTION

First I want to apologize for the wrong wording on step 5. This is where you are using your single piece of felt not a double like I have written. You take the single piece of felt, fold in half, creating a little pocket, and then stuff with the white poly. Then you sewing it up. The next step is to is to sew your snap on, then you can sew the felt pocket stuffed with the white poly to the bottom half of the leather, staying close to the edge so you can hide these stitches under your lazy stitch. Next you can attach your beadwork to the non suede side, which will be the flap of the needle case. Time to whip stitch! In these pics the paper is the beadwork.  Please feel free to contact me if you still have questions. I've been living in a sick haze for three weeks now. I've gotten, the not covid, not flu, virus and it literally the worst I've ever felt. We both went to the doc but really no antibiotics work, on this virus, so it's just over the the counter stuff that is woefully inadequate. Robert brought it home from school, he's the janitor at the elementary school. 1/3 of the kids are out and a bunch of the staff and teachers. So all my bead friends, mask up out there, seriously, this is one you do NOT want to catch!

FRINGE!

 To follow up on my last post, thank you everyone for helping me decide on which bag to carry. The wolf won! While I love the image, I do think the fringe was the deciding factor. I love fondling it. I think I'm going to have to do more fringe bags. Back in the day, I made tons and tons of fringe! While living in Juneau I had orders for regalia for the dancers. I wonder if anyone in southeast ever sees this killer whale cape at Celebration?? This was probably 40 years ago, omg, that's shocking. LOL When you're dancing you must have the swaying, swishing, swinging fringe!
