Bag Tags and Boxes

There are two new self-finishing items available:  the first are the rectangular pill boxes from Planet Earth.

I can't find dimensions for these but they seem to have a magnetic closure.

The pill boxes have a divider that you can buy to put inside.

The second item is called a bag tag.  They go over your luggage or purse handle and come with a small design already painted on them.  They are available from Julia's Needleworks.

Needlepoint Gallery has a selection, including one that is blank if you want to add your own monogram or other design.

Thread Your Needle: The Movie

Waste Knot's Lori has posted another mini tip on the shop's Instagram account.  This time Lori shows you how to thread a needle if you don't have a needle threader.

I do this a lot myself.  It doesn't always work, so I have a threader as backup, but it's quick and easy when the thread cooperates.

Self-Finishing Belts

Fireside Stitchery carries something I've not seen before--self-finishing belts.
