As I haven't done any sewing that I can share with you for a while now I thought I'd share with you something I stitched years ago.
When I was training as a teacher we were set a task of designing and making a fabric container as part of the Design & Technology course. This was a great excuse for me to spend some time cross stitching, but as we only had a week it had to be something small. I came up with a needlecase stitched on a scrap of aida that I had lying around and used DMC threads.

It was definately the smallest fabric container produced in my group as it only measures 3 cms by 5 cms. I think the patterns for the scissors and thread came from one of the many copies of Cross Stitcher that I had lying around.

It still makes me smile whenever I see it in my sewing box.

That's a great project. I loved your photos od Lathkill dale, it's years since I've been! Brings back wonderful (and some not-so-wonderful, but funny in hindsight) memories of doing Duke of Edinburgh's Award walks when I was a school!
Love the dinky little needlecase. TFS. :0)
Oh my, what a lovely little needle case. Love it.
