Materials
8X11 piece of fabric for your exterior
8X11 piece of fabric for your interior
8X11 piece of fusible interfacing
2 1/2X3 1/2 piece of fabric or felt for the needles
A scrap of fabric for the pin cushion, you can do it in shapes if you want, I made an eyeball one before.
Another smaller scrap to hold your scissors. No real size just so long it can fit over your scissors and hold them securely.
Some stuffing
1. Gather your materials.
2.Iron your interfacing to the wrong side of your exterior fabric so it is nice and thick.
3.Sew your felt to the right side of the interior fabric.
4.Sew 3 sides of your pin cushion to the right side of the interior fabric. I top stitched it but you can do it whatever way you want. Stuff it with the stuffing but don't put too much you want it full but also thin or it will make your book bulge. And then sew the 4th side. I also forgot to take pictures of this step.
5.Sew your smaller scrap for the scissors. I like to lay my scissors down and make sure it where it needs to be before I sew it.
6.Sew interior fabric and exterior fabric right sides facing. Sew three sides and then turn right side out. Fold over the edges of the 4th side and top stitch all the way the book. It helps it lay flat.
7.And your done. Fill with your crafty things and enjoy.
You can also stray from the instructions and add pockets or whatever to hold other crafty things I just like mine simple.
