I made this a long time ago. I don't think I was blogging here at the moment, I was working for a quilt store, and we started selling felt, so I made this among other things for display. I didn't use felt from the store (!) but it was on display there for awhile along with a little scottie dog and a kitten in a mitten, which I gave away. They were fun to make.
My mom and grandma each had a little felt roll similar to this. I think it was originally designed to be a mending kit. For me, it's a little case for when I'm embroidering or doing applique. It has needles, a needle threader, tiny scissors for snipping thread, and a tiny seam ripper that's good for boo boos.
I googled "felt needle case" and there are so many wonderful ideas out there! It would be fun to make for someone who embroiders. I don't remember if I used a pattern, I think I did for the applique but don't know. I did this at least 10 years ago....
The felt I used is acrylic craft felt. I've made a lot of things out of felt and I still have a drawer full. I always have big plans but they don't always happen. Long ago I decided that the planning is also valuable, and if I don't do EVERYTHING it's okay. Right now I'm trying to finish the ones I started, and I am well on my way.
