Here are the raw materials.
And the finished product! It only took a few hours and I am pleased with the results. 
When I am done, I fold down the upper half, roll it up and tie it. No more lost needles!

What I've been up to - getting organized
When I started all the mittens I told you about in the last post I had an awful time finding and matching my double-pointed needles. Most of the plastic envelopes they come in had ripped and the needles were loose all over my craft shelf and stuck in pattern books. I figured there had to be a better way to store them so I started looking for cases in stores. Nada. I looked on line and found a few for sale but they were all over $60. So I found a few tutorials on needle rolls, some scrap material and bias tape (leftover from making aprons) and got to work.
And the finished product! It only took a few hours and I am pleased with the results.

Very Nice.....but where are the rest of the needles going?
I got annoyed because my needles were organized the same way as yours were so I sorted them all, put an elastic around the pairs and have them all in a rubbermaid now.....
I have a leather case for my regular needles. All my dk and circulars fit in the roll so they all have homes.
That's awesome....So nice to have them all have a home, isn't it?
are you interested in making one for money? I could use that.
Nice job .... functional and attractive!
