Pairs well with
Fits all of your EMBROIDERY needles.
A compact leather case designed to keep your embroidery needles sorted, safe, and always within reach.
Each case is entirely handmade by me:
- I hand-cut each piece of leather
- Punch every stitch and snap hole manually
- Glue, stitch, and carefully finish the edges by hand
It’s a time-consuming process, but one I genuinely enjoy — especially knowing it’s going to a fellow embroidery enthusiast.
Key Features:
-
Fits embroidery needles of all sizes — no matter your go-to type, it’ll have a home here
-
Separate pockets to keep needles sorted by size or use — easy to see and grab what you need
-
Dedicated pocket for a needle threader — no more digging through your kit
-
Secure snap button closure for safety and peace of mind when tossing it in your bag
-
Truly pocket-sized — small, light, and always handy
-
Made with premium Italian full-grain vegetable-tanned leather in vibrant colours that will develop a rich patina over time
This case is for stitchers who like their tools tidy, love beautiful materials, and appreciate the slow joy of handmade things.
Made by a stitcher, for stitchers.

The Everyday Stitcher and The Milliner's Mate both are made of two leather pieces – the main body and pocket. Those two can be the same colour as the exampled in the photos, or different (no photos available at this time as I've not made such prototype). You pick!
The Organised Stitcher and The Milliner's Nest are made of three leather pieces – the main body, the needle pocket, and the threader pocket.
All three can be the same colour as in the provided examples, or different! It's totally up to you!
Just drop me a note if you want a combo in your cart and let me know!
Please note:
- I have a limited number of thread colours available to me at this time, but I can match the colours of leather offered. If you're opting for a colour combo in your case, please also let me know which colour of thread you'd like me to use to put it together, as it can't be both.
- The Needle Library is made of 5 different leather pieces or 2 "sets" of pieces – inner and outer.
Outer is the "cover" and inner is the pockets. The colour options available by default refer to these two "sets".
You can customise the pieces within the inner set further, but first please contact me for it to check availability of the leather.
Both leathers are incredible and really luxurious!
Badalssi Carlo Pueblo is a bit softer than Azteca leather, and Azteca is also quite a bit rougher on the inside compared to Pueblo.

back story
I’m not a professional leatherworker — yet — but I’ve been diving into this craft with a lot of love (and trial and error).
I originally made some needle cases for myself because I needed a neat, pocket-sized way to keep my needles organised for various projects. When I shared it online, fellow stitchers asked if they could get one too — and that’s how this little project turned into a proper offering.
