DIFFICULTY

The FPP sections on the pattern are more challenging as the pieces are quite small. You are however given cut sizes for the FPP pieces to make it as easy as possible. There is also an EPP front cover options which is a great option if you like hand stitching.

This pattern assumes that you already know how to paper piece so there are no FPP technique tips included with the instructions. If you need help with FPP then you may like to consider enrolling on the Nifty Needlebook On Demand Class as it features full length demonstrations as to how to sew the FPP sections.

BONUS

The Nifty Needlebook pattern has been designed so that it is compatible with the Spools of Thread pattern. This means that you can create a sewing themed version of your needlebook. In turn, you can also combine the Spool with the Mini FPP Alphabet….this means that you can add an initial to the centre of your spool or use the star or heart. Whatever you choose you’ll me making something really rather special.
