You will be amazed... just like I am.
I have been doing a lot of crochet work lately and it seems that I am constantly searching through my yarn bag to find the right sized hook. While visiting the Sometimes Crafter I found a pattern for a crochet hook case that looked easy, quick and perfect for solving my disorganization.
This is her original design.
Today, while deciding which fabric to use, I came upon a piece of patchwork I made weeks ago. It was a little bigger than the suggested size... but I'm creative - right? I can make this work.
While changing the size, I also changed the direction of the case (to open from the side), eliminated the flap, and added a ribbon to tie it closed... perfect!
It's all finished!
I loaded it up with hooks just to show you my amazing accomplishment.
However... there's just a little problem. I discovered why she put the flap on the top. Whenever I move (that's right, move!) my little case, all of the hooks slide right out. Argh.
When will I learn to just follow the directions?
Ok, stop laughing. I can hear you, you know.

Funny, funny. I wonder if you could use it (since it IS beautiful) for something a little less slippery. Like paintbrushes, makeup brushes, pencils, etc. I love the teal fabric.
We are just laughing with you! You really are one of the most talented, creative ladies I know! And Marcie is right - your case is beautiful!
ha ha ha! that's awesome. who cares about function when it looks so cute, right?!!
It's quite lovely! You should just add a little flap to the top to keep them in. I bet you could seam rip the top, insert the flap and then edge stitch around the whole of the case, and no one would know!
