This handmade needle-case is for the ‘Handmade Needlecase’ swap on Swap-bot.
I have been doing quite a bit of swapping at this website to try out new ideas and try to hone my needlework skills. I’ve found it lends a purpose to my crafting rather than simply making something for the sake of it,. which normally leads to a huge pile of WIPs for me.

When I started making this I wasn’t at all sure what the design would be. I had an idea that I wanted to continue with my tree and mushroom obsession but hadn’t got much further than that thought. I really enjoyed making this up as I went along and will probably make more of these in the future, each one a little or a lot different than the last. I’d like to see how the idea evolves.
