Ok, I am endeavoring on my largest needlebook yet (ok, so it's also only my second one, I am still making it big!) I have tons of needles that I want to keep together...quilting needles, crewel style needles, twin pointed needles, etc. Some of them I would like to have labels near so that I don't have to try to remember each and every type. Some are too obvious to need labels...like my near mammoth-sized needle with an eye big enough to fit and elephant through! (I mostly use it to weave yarn ends in sweaters that have come loose.)
What type of fabric do you suggest for the pages of my needlebook? I was thinking felt maybe. I think a tightly woven fabric, like a muslin, would wear way too fast and look terrible quickly. An eavenweave with a loose weave (like Jobelean) would be too loose and could drop needles, I think. Any recommendations?
I have taken some of my favorite batik fabric and made the cover by quilting, and soon will begin to put the inside portion together with some cardboard and muslin.....Hopefully I will be able to begin my needle collecting and sorting soon.
