Needle Books, Boxes and Pin Cushions

Making needle books was a trend that began in the 1800s and grew in popularity until around the 1950s. These needle books were designed to hold the different needles a person would need for different fabrics and projects. Usually the needle book was made out of scrap fabric or a fun creative fabric. They were used to organize and secure needles.
