This is a bookmark I kept when I was looking for how to do a needlecase, Its pages back in this tips and tricks section.. probably lost somewhere in the middle pages

http://www.crossstitchforum.com/viewtop ... f=3&t=6155" target="_blank

Also, I Googled Needlebook, or Needlecase and found a few different sites that had instructions.. Ink Circles was one that I remembered. My book is sort of a combination of a bunch of different tutorials.

Also this site, Twisted Stitchers, has a bunch of different tutorials for little projects- Altoid tins, pin cushions, etc.

Hiya

I have a free tutorial instruction leaflet for a scissor case. I have just finished a scissor case using the instructions and found them very helpful. If you pm me your email address, I'll send you a copy.
