Needles!

I tried out the stitchery from Natalie Lymer of Cinderberry Stitches new book "Cotton Floss".

I stitched the stitchery on the plane from London to Melbourne, with only a little satin stitch to finish once I got home.  I had plenty of time to do it, but in the end the light just made it too hard!

So, yes, you can sew on a plane - just don't take scissors but use some other thread cutter (preferably not your teeth!!)

I took a few liberties on both the thread choices and the piecing of the inside of the needle case - because I could only use what I had available at the time.  But adapting a pattern is one of the joys of sewing your own!

The instructions for completing the needle case were clear and easy to follow. 

It ended up a lot bigger than I would have thought I needed for needles.  But then again, I do have an awful lot of needles....
