Here is a quick 20 minute craft that is a great addition to any sewing kit!

I made two needle wallets in 20 minutes. I think most people should be able to finish one in about 20 minutes. To make it a quicker project, I used felt because it is a super forgiving craft fabric. I made two versions to see which looked better. One was made using a sewing machine, the other a sewing machine and a serger. You can also do this by hand, it will just take a little bit longer.

First you cut 2 rectangles of fabric (mine are 2.5 x 8.5 inches).

Sew around the edge of the fabric in the stitch of your choice. I used a zig-zag that lands just to the outside of the fabric, but almost any stitch will work.

Fold the rectangle together to find the middle fold line. Once you have that middle fold line, sew across it 4 to 5 times.

The last step was to add a button hole and button. I did the button hole by machine and the button by hand.

The inside should look like this:

and here is my sewing machine (no serger) version:

A perfect belated Mother’s Day gift!
