I Suck At Embroidery, But I Enjoy Every Minute Of It

I made a wee needle case to tuck into my sewing kit, to replace the plastic packages I was carrying them in before, and to negate the need for toting my gigantic pincushion around in my SCA sewing kit with me.

red velvet scrap, various "gold" (yellow) embroidery thread

interlined with cotton scrap, and lined with a fuzzy furry scrap.
Gold braided ties to close. 

I embroidered the vines on my sewing machine (I'm not
completely insane), then did the leaves, knots, and of course,
a wee pomegranate, my device. :)
