Organized crochet hooks are a beautiful thing – it’s so easy to find just the one you want. Sew up this handy little case for your crochet hooks and they’ll always be at your fingertips. But really, you can make this fold over case to fit so many different items that I didn’t want to limit you.

– Fabric – Mesh fabric  – Fusible fleece interfacing – Bias trim piping  – Magnetic snap in your desired size – Vinyl

MATERIALS:

– Wonderclips or pins – a fabric marking pen (such as a Frixion pen) – Stiletto for sewing (optional, but you’ll use it all the time)

YOU WILL ALSO NEED:

From quilting cotton or other fabric, cut: – 2 rectangles 8” x 12” (the outside and inside of the case) – 1 strip 1 1/2” x 8 1/2” (for binding the mesh) – 1 strip 1 1/2” x 5” (for binding the mesh)
