I scored

I collect vintage needle cases and I think that I just scored with this find. Obviously the Amish one is in better condition but are the same design.

I  bought this vintage needle case on etsy for $45 then saw this Amish Rollup needel case on ebay that is selling for $500+ I think that considering the difference in condition they are of the same design and age.
The one I bought is from the 1800's

My newest creation

This was designed after a vintage purse that I saw on Pinterest. It was sewn in penny rug style with felt applications using a blanket stitch. It is lined with a soft fleece lining and is completed with a nice Tortoise design handles.

Its Done

Well, I think that I am pretty happy with the way it all turned out.
I have a few ideas that I will change on the next one but all in all, I think its pretty cool and large and very functional.

 Handles are wrapped with red wool and then crossed wrapped with gold thread

 Inside of lid is padded and then ribbon has been crossed, stapled and stitched to reinforce it.

 It is lined with Onasburg fabric and the bottom is lined with red wool felt

The lid is padded and trimmed with vintage cotton lace and the center is punch needle stating She Seeketh Wool & Flax .

The basket itself is a vintage picnic basket that is in awesome condition.
