Needle cases instructions

[csarina]

I am sorry I have been awol. My husband has been in hospital and life has been taken up with visits and keeping the family informed about his condition. He is home now, but my cap and apron are very firmly on and will be for a while.

However...... I saw a really neat needle case, it appears to be a circle of fabric that is lined and then felt sewn inside to take the needles.....it folds up by folding it in half and then in half again, the top is rounded like a petal so when the case is open it looks like a flower. Can any one either tell me how it was made or point me in the right direction please. I did find one on pintrest but was denied permission to look at the web page, you had to have permission but it did not tell you how to get permission.......stupid.

I am sure someone knows how to make this, help pleeaassee............

Here's one where she explains how to make your own template, but she is using wool felt instead of fabric for the outside. If you want to use fabric, cut two pieces of fabric & be sure to add a 1/4 inch for seam allowance, sew right sides together and leave an opening for turning right sides out. And also you may need to trim the felt by a 1/4 inch before attaching to the inside of the case.
