I love me some Zakka!

I am part of the Rapid and Tiny Zakka Swap (RATZ swap) and it runs on a one month cycle. So far we have made keychains, magnets and this month it is needlebooks.

My partner is a secret so I can't say too much other than I was thrilled to have her as my partner as she is one of the people I have been in swaps with the longest.

I decided to go with linen which is somewhat a given in Zakka items, and who doesn't love linen?


It's a grey linen which I thought helped bring out the pinks of the flower. The "tie" which is actually velcro-ed is a ribbon I found in my vast collection. Sadly it is hand sewn as I completely blanked out on doing it before I attached the front and back and turned inside out.



The inside pockets are a fun sewing fabric I have had forever but have been too afraid to cut into until now. I find it is always easier to start on a much loved fabric when it is for a friend :)

So now that you have seen my needlebook, it is time to make some Zakka for yourself with a giveaway!!

(Snuck that one in eh? lol)



I bought two copies when this came out so I could share the love! I know a lot of people already have this, but I hope some people are still hoping to win it :)

Just leave a comment and I will choose someone by Tuesday July 17, 2012 6 p.m. my time... (Eastern)

  2. That is a cute needlebook! Unfortunately it can't be for me, because I don't fit your description!

    I would love to win your extra copy of Zakka Style, but I'm not sure if you ship internationally.
