It's done.........finished...........and I love it..............Rosalie Quinlan Designs Welcome Friends Needle Case............one of our projects from the Girls Day in the Country.............

It is a bit hard to see but there is a little pocket inside (on the left below) and when I put it together I thought I had sewn it on the outside by mistake but it just needed to be flipped over the end...........lol........

I love the fabric we used................Holly Holderman Rose Petite...........so pretty and it has a little spot on it to you can hardly see in the pic........

Take care til next time...........Chookyblue

Added: this pattern will be available about 20th June

It looks you are the first one to finish - I am still stitching. Are you going to make the bag next?

my fabric is striped so it will be interesting to see it with a different look.

You certainly have given us inspiration.
