I made a needle minder. Needles are not cheap and i keep bouncing between so many projects, which requires frequent needle changes. I saw these online but shipping was $$$. So my dh designed and 3D printed the tray. I made an internal bag filled with fine walnut shells from Harbor Freight. Then I designed and machine embroidered the front, and made a zippered cover for the filled bag, just in case, one layer was not enough. My needle abbreviations are Stretch, Topstitch, Overlock, Universal, Jersey, Jean, Embroidery, and Microtex. I added space for hand sewing needles too. Good bye old fashion tomatoes. Can you tell there has been 3 snow storms in 6 days and I am going a little crazy. Willing to share the 3D tray and embroidery designs if there is any interest. #sewover50 #punkfrockers #curvysewingcollective
