Ladybug Needlecase

I decided to make another needlecase. I think it turned out a little too big, but the pattern can be easily reduced in size if you choose to. (sorry about the poor pictures, artificial light just didn't work out tonight!)

Start by printing the pattern and cutting out the pieces

Using a satin stitch create as many Ladybug spots as you like on the larger ladybug "shell". Attach the smaller red ladybug "shell" to the black body using a running stitch.

Attach the head to the body using a blanket stitch

Attach the larger ladybug "shell" to the body at the top and down the middle creating two needle sections, blanket stitch around the remaining outer shell areas making sure not to attach it to the body
