Description

These needle cases are made from bicycle inner tubes and viscose-wool blend felt. They feature 10 pages, a pocket on the inside of each cover, and a snap to hold it closed. You'll get a random needle case with gold snaps. Each one's handmade so there will be slight variations in size, check out the gallery for examples. The black material may have writing, wear, white marks, or other characteristics from its previous life inside a bicycle tyre. The felt is new. Please note the case shown with needles was a prototype I use myself, and is slightly smaller than the one you'll receive. This is for the case ONLY and will not contain any sewing supplies. There's plenty of room for a variety of needles and pins - organise them by size or type, or just place them anywhere handy while you're in the middle of sewing. Inner tubes are made from soft butyl rubber so won't scratch surfaces, won't be damaged by water, and the resilient material isn't damaged by being scrunched up. The tubes are sourced from local bike shops. They'd normally end up in landfill as most people wouldn't pay a mechanic's time to do a puncture repair - instead a new one's fitted and the old one discarded. These have been saved from that fate, helping the bike shops reduce their waste and keeping useful materials out of landfill. While all inner tubes are washed thoroughly before being remade into new products, they may still mark light surfaces.
