I think it looks cool, but can't figure it out! I wish there were more pictures.

steps 4 & 5 confuse me...probably cause I don't sew much. lol I don't understand how to connect the leg to the butt. And the shirt part is two layers for the outside of the pockets? Or do the needles go inside the shirt? Maybe I should just crochet a needle holder. :lookroun:

those directions make my head hurt :crud:
Basically, all you need to do for a cute and functional needle cse is cut two large rectangles, say about 16 x 30. Sew them right sides together, leaving a space unsewn to turn it right side out. Then lay the rectangle so that the short side is parallel to your body. Fold up the bottom about 10", and sew the sides over the fold (basically, you're making a huge pocket)
Then, sew on the pocket to make the channels for the needles, do straight lines about 2" apart, going vertically. Slide you needles in, fold the top part over, and roll it up :) You can sew ribbon ties to one side, and use those to secure :)
Anyone wanna do a sew along? I'd be game to *run* it
:bigups:
