After researching a bit, I found that Simplicity Patterns actually has a pattern. However, it is a curved pattern and uses bias binding. I stay away from bias binding if at all possible. Of course being me, I thought there must be an easier way to make one of these. I think these could make nice Christmas gifts for anyone with a desk. **************************** Ex…

Greetings, Feeling Stitchy readers! I'm excited to bring you embroidery-related tutorials on Thimblenest Thursdays! I'm sure spouses, children, and pets could testify that those of us who dabble in embroidery are prone to misplace needles from time to time.
