I have been dying to try some fabric origami from Kumiko Sudo’s books. This design for a little needle case is from her Flower Origami, Fabric Flowers from Simple Shapes book.

The front:


The inside of the front — I just couldn’t resist and added the yo-yo!

There are 4 little pages of felt for needles.

The inside back cover with another, smaller yo-yo.

The back cover.

And the spine adorned with — yes, you guessed it! More beads!!

The book is actually much more squared up than this photo seems to show. Must have been the angle at which the photo was taken.

Now that I’ve tried one of the designs, I can’t wait to try a few more. There is a pattern for one that I think will be perfect for my Four Seasons summer swap quilt.

Seems Smudge is as unimpressed with all this bead stuff that’s going on as is Lester.
