Summer Sewing Project - Knitting Needle or Crochet Needle Roll Created From a Place Mat

It does not get any easier than this. Webbed placemats are simply wonderful to create this project because the ends are already seamed and they are durable. All you have to do is add fabric embellishment and cording. Within no time you will have your roll finished to hold all of your needles.

 

 

Knitting Needle or Crochet Needle Roll

For this project you will need:

- webbed place mat - this one measures 40 x 50 cm
- fabric strip that is approximately 5 cm high and the width of your place mat
- sewing thread matching color of fabric
- white cording about 60 cm long
- sewing machine and basic sewing supplies

Never again will you have to search for all of your needles. After rolling it up, it can be easily taken along or stored away.

For your kids you can use the same technique and create a roll to keep all of their pencils nicely together. Since the place mat already had a nice pattern on it, the fabric strip was omitted for the project.

4. Now use the trick marker and mark lines where you would like to sew to dived the different sections to store your needles. It is suggested to use a variety of widths. Here the widths of 3, 4 and 5 centimeters were used. Now stitch down the marked lines.
