Here is a fun DIY project that is completed pretty quickly (an hour /-), but you can endlessly embellish it, too.  It comes with instructions and access to a DYI video available at , my teaching website.   Video Kit = $25; Kit alone = $25.

Felt Needle Case with 4 felt pages to hold your sewing needles and pins.  The cases are handmade of madder naturally dyed and eco-printed wool fabric, wool felt pages, and button closure.
