My Needle Book Turned into A Hussif with a Clever Closure
Vložit

- I've thoroughly enjoyed stitching this needle book.
It combines slow stitching, embroidery, and also a couple of different ideas. There is a clever closure idea using the leather from an old glove along with a stick from the beach finds, and a novel way of using the thumb from the same glove too.
However it ended up turning into more than a needle book. More like a modern day Hussif. In olden days a hussif was a way a person carried their sewing kit and was usually a pouch or a roll.
My needle book is fulfilling all those same things in a modern book form.
I hope you enjoy seeing how it all comes together... I do get a bit over-excited about it though!
I also wanted to let you know that I have now added a Ko-fi page to my channel. I've been asked by people how they could support me and at long last I have sorted it out. I'll leave the link below if anyone feels they would like to 'buy me a cup of tea'.
Thank you for watching.

It’s such a joy to hear someone so happy about the small things in life. Not that the Hussif was a small job altogether, but your joy at the small wins all the way through had me smiling for the whole video. Thank you for making my day - and it is such gorgeous and useful item!
I was a bit excited by it all 😄 It was just going so well though🪡🧵
CZcams needs to give us the choice of a Love, Love, Love button!!! Your Hussif is so wonderful. I’m in awe of your creativity. ❤️
😂 thanks so much Meg. I totally appreciate your comment!
Oh this was such a delightful video to watch! Not only have you fashioned yourself a new, uniquely beautiful needle book, but it clearly brought you so much joy in the making of it. Yes I imagine it feels very tactile with the embellishments, yet it looks so soft and comforting to hold in your hand. Love all the needles in their original packets, a lovely reminder of sewing heritage.
I'm so pleased you thought it was lovely too 🪡🧵😊
Marion, this is genius and so beautiful! I actually clapped when you slipped the little vial into its sleeve. All of your practical experience is of ultimate value in creating artistic, and functional objects. New stitchers are so lucky to have you.
Oh .so did I Ann... It was just the business! 😊
What a wonderful needle book. I really like the idea of making it for more than needles. Makes a real “ready to travel” piece.
Definitely does.
thank you so much for letting us watch in real time you fixing parts of your needlebook! Please continue. God Bless you. Deborah
Marion I love your Hussif . I also get great delight from your excitement a pure joy the beach finds and your beautiful creations.
I love how you treasure your finds in nature then you are able to incorporate them into your amazing creations. You have been gifted with an amazing creative mind. I am so happy and grateful you are generous enough to share your creations and take the time to video them for all of us. I am in awe of your talents. Thank you, thank you, from faraway Australia
Thanks for the lovely comment Annie. I appreciate you enjoying whatever I'm making 😊🪡🧵
I'm really excited that you are so excited by what you have made. You are a very clever lady and a joy to watch and listen to. 🙂
I got quite carried away with it all I'm afraid 😅🪡🧵
Well !!! Very unique & clever is your new needle book/hussif ! I am enjoying your channel so much Marion ! Thanks so much for sharing your creativity. I enjoy your thought process too !!! 🪡🧵💙
Thanks Susan
Marion! What a lovely sewing book. And using nature's finds. You are amazing. I loved it when you got a new idea as you were going along , the excitement in your voice.
😅
Marion....I absolutely loved this project, I felt your enthusiasm and love of your finished case ...it also gave me so much joy....thank you, thank you. Adore you channel, so inspiring.
Oh, Marion! It’s wonderful! What a treasure, thank you for sharing!
Absolutely Marvelous!! Marion you are a Woman of Magic Hands!! 🌟❣️🌟❣️🌟🌷🌷🌷
😂🧵🪡💐
Marion! What a triumph! A lovely, functional masterpiece for you to use for many a year. Thanks for sharing with us. ❤
That was wonderful Marion. I love seeing how you brought your marvellous sewing book together. It’s so much joy to watch you.
Marion I love this. Your enthusiasm is so infectious. You put joy into sewing. Thank you
It's a work of art, Marion. Absolutely gorgeous.
Hello Marion. I LOVE your hussif. Especially all your beach finds and the leather fixings. It reminds me of mine. I made it from clothing scraps and fabric that I'd hand dyed, and I use it all the time. My needle book isn't attached, but fits in a pocket. It holds all my sewing necessities in one place. And I'm very fond of it. Odd what makes us stitchers happy. 😊❤
I think we're most happy just playing with all our 'stuff' 🪡🧵😊
I totally agree with that. Never happier than when I'm creating something.❤
Having watched you make this Hussif with all your brilliant ideas, the needle case I was going to make is now going to be a Hussif. Having seen the original idea you had for closing it gave me the idea of using a piece of old clay pipe which was amongst the many items found when I had an allotment. I too have a collection of old packets of needles, old bone and metal crochet hooks, some of which I still use when making crochet items for my dolls house. Marion you are a joy to watch. Thank you.
A clay pipe stem sounds just the ticket for a similar closure... I hope it works out 🤞☺️💐🧵🪡
Dear Marion, your unabashed joy over your creation here is contagious and makes me so happy and inspired. Creating makes me very happy too, and somehow watching you keeps me motivated - even when I’m feeling stuck. Bless you for that. 🤗❤️🥰 Your hussif is amazing and magical in so many ways.
Thanks so much for a lovely message to read. It's so lovely to find something that brings joy into your every day. Sewing is seeing me through... :)
@@marionsworld24 Me as well and every one of my creative friends says the same thing.
I’ve been looking forward to seeing your needle book finished. The materials you used gave it a lovely vintage look. It also looked really tactile to hold in your hands and use. As always you are clever and resourceful . I can understand you getting great satisfaction when your plans come together. You work very hard to show us your creations. Thank you.
💐🪡🧵
I wish I could give this video more than one 👍! How lovely to hear you so delighted with your creation, and rightly so. This was the very best part of my day today, thank you for sharing your joy!
Thanks Fran ☺️💐🧵🪡
Miriam what a stunning Needle Book. I just love your excitement, when you discover something works out.
Ingenious on how you used the glove to hold the bottle of needles. Just beautiful. 😊
What a joy! You rightly so should be “over the moon “ excited and proud of the hussif!
Hi, Marion! I love your needle book with the beach finds and the connections to history. You have such great ideas😊 "Better done than perfect"... words to remember.
Absolutely!
It’s lovely to see you so delighted. Congratulations! ❤️🇨🇦
Blow, I threw a worn pair of leather gloves out last week while packing for our move. My husband has been urging me to lessen my craft stash, so I compromised by not adding to it. I can't wait to move and get started on some of your wonderful ideas. Meantime I have a small piece of slow stitching on the go, with minimum colours and threads, a hexie epp project and my crochet blanket for the evenings
If you want it for your creativity have designated storage fir your stuff keep it for a few years dead line if want ,need it if get to full in your rcyle gold mine, only you should decide thus if not a hoarder takes a few years to get it in to your creativity unless you sharing your creative space with another over spill into their space 😉🕊️🫶🐦2024🪵🐉
Epic Soar 🪶O4🙏🗽🇺🇸🦅🌞
It's lovely having lots of projects to hop between ☺️
Marion I love it, what a wonderful, beautiful and useful object. I love your enthusiasm and pleasure with the final results. I so enjoy watching your videos and I am always learning from you and I’m very grateful for all your efforts and willingness to share your talents. Thank you 🙏
💐
I think it is a work of art, made with joy! A future folk art treasure.
Marion, all I can do at this stage is to say "ditto" to all the wonderful and well-deserved comments; you are one of the enchanted and enchanting people, and I am grateful for you and your friends on this channel. Wunderbar!
💐
Hi Marion, your needle case is so charming and beautiful with all its little detail! You’re very clever at repurposing stuff and your delight at doing that is infectious. Thank you.
Marion, when we make our ideas and dreams come true it gives us joy and excitement for living. ❤ Thank you for sharing your lovely Hussif.
The hussif is exquisite. So love the way you have included all your beach finds and made 'ripples'. Inside your beautiful embroidery and those pockets to hold all your sewing tools and treasures. Very inventive closure, another beach find, it absolutely completes this project. Hearing your cheerful chat about your ideas, thoughts and process is always interesting and wonderful too
Thanks Fiona ☺️
I have never smiled so much watching someone create. You are so clever and this needle plus book is fantastic! Thank you for sharing and inspiring!
☺️💐
I love your Hussif with your beach finds
The needle book is absolutely amazing. Just love it. And the joy on your face is even more amazing! 😊❤
😅
Beautiful project. The inside is as wonderful as the cover. So so pretty, and useful too. ❤💚💙💜
The needle book turned out lovely. Thank you for taking us along on this journey from collecting your beach finds through the completion of the Hussif.
A wonderful "one of a kind" hussif, so special and so personal to you, Marion. ❣
It looks so lovely and soft. It could be a journal cover too. Thanks for sharing your talent and inspiration.
Another phrase is : Don't let perfect get in the way of good. I like that !
I've never heard that one. It's a good one too...
Your happiness is contagious, love and hugs.
My dear Marion, we needle artists can never have too many needles! 😊 I adore your hussif-they are super handy holding all the things. needed.
Absolutely! :)
If all the components of your Hussif could talk what a story they would tell. No wonder it gives you such joy 😘
Marion your hussif is beautiful. I love the way you convey your pleasure and joy when completing your creations. I think that feeling of holding a completed item that you have made is second to none. Thank you for sharing your journey. Anne
Your excitement and pleasure in your new hussif is such a joy to see Marion. Your ingenious creativity is so inspiring and I love that you've made yourself a treasure you'll use almost every day! Fabulous and beautiful incorporation of all the things❤
💐🪡🧵
What an incredibly beautiful needlebook!! It holds so many meaningful treasures! Love the closure, the cover, the embroidery on the inside pages...all its many details! So happy it is for you to enjoy!! xxoo
Thank you so very much, Marion :) Your creativity never ceases to amaze me, and your joy is contagious! :D You are a shining light in this troubled world, thank you for sharing
A beautiful Hussif and a beautiful woman who puts her soul in her craft❤️👏
💐💐💐
Such a very clever closure, and I love using nature items on my work as well.
Gosh you are one smart and creative lady using that glove the way you did! It’s amazing and what a delightful needle book. I so love your channel!
Thank you Lisa 😊
How delightful! Its 4am on a hot Australian morning and l cant wait to rummage through my fabric treasures and start making my own Hussif. All my treasured little working tools will have a home . Thank you.
You're most welcome Debra 😊
I just love to see ideas that just accidentally happen but are so wonderful. My grandmother used a old glove to make shoes for a doll she made so when you used the glove it brought back that memory. I love watching everything you do. Thank you for sharing
💐
Another beautiful piece of craftsmanship. Totally unique, displays your beach treasure perfectly. It's going to bring joy every time you use it. Not to mention how practical it is. Xx
Incredibly beautiful and useful. Your joy comes through the screen.
Wow, wow, wow … fantastic ❤🎉 .. it’s not surprising that you’re in love with it .. inspirational ❤
Marion, your hussif is just beautiful and so full of inspiration! You are a joy to watch and spend time with!
❤ I really admire your new needle book, your excitement is contagiouse. Thank you!
'Better done than perfect' is apt for many of us crafters. We compare our wonky creations to those Instagram-perfect ones, and wonder why we bother! But it's the joy of making stuff. Love your hussif, and your delight in stumbling across the idea for the closure and the use of the glove thumb. Thanks for posting this video.
The joy of making is totally right!
Marion, your new needle book is wonderful. I think you inspire everyone to make a new needle book. I love all the embroidery on the cover with your beach finds and on the inside pages. The way you used parts of the glove is just amazing. I can’t wait to see what you make next, it’s exciting to watch you come up with ideas and make beautiful things 🧵🪡
Yes I've had plenty of messages about new needlebooks/hussifs....🧵🪡☺️
I'm inspired to rework my simple needlebook! So many lovely ideas, as always 😊. Thank you 🙏
I really love your needle book, and especially your excitement over completing it. 🥰
What an incredible job you did! It's lovely, innovative, comforting to the touch and just right.
I love that you put your beach finds on it, such a special accomplishment!
Had to pause at the point you finished the closure to say it's absolute genius and your joy at it's success made me smile from ear to ear. 😊 Now going to watch the rest. ❤
Thanks Kathryn. It's a pleasure to use too. It was one of those projects where everything just seemed to come together perfectly.... 🧵🪡
Marion your book is amazing! I love the glove bits and I have some from the 1960’s which I now know what to do with ! Very exciting. Thank you for sharing your incredible work 😊❤❤❤❤
I too have smiled during the entire process of your making this book. I really appreciate your doing this work allowing us to learn as you go. I have been wanting to make a book that meets all of my needs for sewing things, and this has given me just the right amount of knowledge to gather my supplies. I love the bit about the glove and its useful benefit for the tube. I just loved this one so much. What joy to spend my morning watching this.
This was a total joy to make and I use it every day!
I love your needle book especially the leather. Never seen a more beautiful one. Love your videos too!
☺️💐
Thank you Marion for your video.What an amazing project a lovely Hussif. I got so excited with you over the thumb of the globe I clapped,which is funny at 4am 😂. This is so what I was thinking of. I knew a little needlebook was no use to me but I had never seen anything larger. This will fit the bill, you know we need to change our needle size and type often in the sort of stitching we do so we need instant access. Some of my students gave me as a retirement gift a whole range of sizes and types of needles and that's the bundle of packets I have been struggling with. This project means I can have one of everything to hand, excited to start.
Brilliant Carol. I hope it all comes together as nicely as mine did. As you could see from the video I quite often make it all up as I go along... This was a time when it all just turned out perfectly 😊🪡🧵
I just LOVE how excited you get with your creations. Totally makes my day all the time. Genius thumb pocket and the stick fastening.
I love your needle book and all the special techniques you showed us. OMGosh-the final flip-thru is so beautiful and I'm happy just from hearing your joy for the way it turned out.
You should definitely be proud and I love the quote for the day, "Better done than perfect." I'll remember that as well.
I soooo love this hussif more than any I’ve seen! I took notes and drew your ideas! I LOVE YOUR ORIGINALITY! God Bless You…enjoy each day❤
Sherry, that's music to my ears! I really enjoyed making this. I use it every day and I just love it!
Marion, I enjoy your videos and your projects. You have such a love for what you make, and the joy in your voice and on your face is so inspiring and encouraging.
Thank you for another wonderful tutorial ❤❤❤
Thanks Sheila 💐
Absolutely fantastic! I have found Sea-Glass on our Oregon beaches….now I need to find a tiny piece of driftwood…and, you’re right!! A leather glove hunt is on! lol. Love your joy! I get so excited over things like this too….so nice to have someone who also gets excited over stuff like this! You did it!
Brilliant Connie. I'm so happy you feel inspired by it 👍🧵🪡
I just love that you feel that way about your needle book I feel the same about mine. I made it at the beginning of my stitching journey and it just still feels like home when I am on a journey and pull it from my bag. Thank you for sharing all your wonderful creations with us. You keep me inspired
☺️

😄
What a wonderful lovely project Marion, your happiness with the wee bony needle book is contagious. It is perfect in every way. Your creativity including all the beach findings is inspiring.
💐💐💐
You make from something usefull, something very beautiful, Marion. I like the way you think, when making it. You have an idea, doesn't work the way you want, and you get another, better idea. I know it works that way, I have the same "problems"when making something. But it is nice to see/hear how another person will solve it. 💝
Thank Marjan. It just seemed to come together so beautifully... I love how it ended up 💐
A lovely treasure of a fine day with your sister and very utilitarian. Beautiful! Your clasp is lovely too
Absolutely beautiful.
Love your videos, and you’re so clever xx
Simply lovely ❤
Absolutely gorgeous!! You come up with the most creative solutions.
Clever and unique. A pleasure to watch you design and your joy in doing the project ❤ a real delight ❤ I also can't believe how effective and perfect your ideas are❤ Glorious
Thank you Pam ☺️
