Midweek it dawned on me that I was about to attend a 40th birthday with no gift – which is just not right!
I find making an item for someone I know I add pressure to myself, am I going to make what they are envisaging? Is the finish going to be good enough? Will I select fabric they like?
As usual I had a search of the internet for tutorials and ideas for the design – I have pinned a couple of jewellery roll tutorials here.
“A truly beautiful and thoughtful gift, and one that will be well used :-)”
I am so delighted Becky liked the result.
The rest of the week has been creating further knitting needle cases – they are my best seller – somehow I had stock of only three!
Plus I have been working on a commission – which involves a concealed top edge zip (trying not to panic that it will go right?!)
As usual I am stopping by Handmade Harbour to see what other people have been busy making this week:)

Oh man, do I need one of these! My mom always had one and I was so jealous! Now I can make my own!

I've made a couple of jewellery rolls myself, again after trawling the Internet. I love the fabric you chose.

The jewellery roll is such a good idea, I have one of those sitting in the unfinished pile - didn't like the way it was going!
