For a very long time now I have been in a constant war with my sewing needles \ud83d\ude00 I have managed to break at least 3 whilst stitching – they just snap in my fingers. I have managed to sit on loose ones, step on them too, and am losing them all the time. My husband was very cross with me when I started to use our living room couch as a pincushion. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

To remedy the situation I decided to make myself a needle book. You can buy so many nice ones online, but I really want to try to make one. As I am Latvian, I have a soft spot for anything from my home country. There is a very famous historic belt pattern from a place I come in Latvia called “Lielv\u0101rdes josta”. The translation would be – the belt of Lielvarde. What I love in it is the symbolism and the fluid pattern changes. It is always red on white, so the colours are very eye catching.<\/p>\n

Here it is! It is going quite slow as I am stitching it on linen one over one. Wish me good luck and not to lose my eyesight \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
