If you've always wanted to create your own felt needle book, Tanja Berlin of Berlin Embroidery now offers a PDF file tutorial on French Link book binding stitch to make it easy to sew your needle book pages together in a decorative stitch.
Tanja sells little needle case kits with full instructions and includes the French Link book binding tutorial for free if you buy one of them. Currently there are two needle cases available, both using needlepoint canvas for the front and back. You can buy the designs, threads, instructions and canvas from Tanja but will have to source two thick pieces of felt and ribbon for assembly yourself. You will also need Craft Tacky Glue.
If you have a needle case design in mind already, you can just order the instructions for the French Link book binding stitch to assemble your needle case for $7.88 USD. (Tanja is in Canada.)
