needle roll

i've been looking for a solution for how to store my needles. i have lots of different kinds and they are all stuck in various pieces of paper all over the place. when i saw this i REALLY wanted to make one. only 1 problem - no felt and no moolah to buy felt.

SO i got to thinking and rummaging around in the craft closet and found some washcloths i bought for a project that didn't go as well as i would have liked. I came up with this little 'needle roll'.

I started by doing a quick backstitch to separate my regular needles from my tapestry needles (read: dull).
Then I stitched a ribbon on the end...


I rolled it up and now all my needles are in one place! its not as cute as the little felt ones, but it cost nada and it does the job.
