A needle minder is a magnetic stitching accessory designed to help prevent your needle from getting lost when you need to take a short break from your stitching or as you are changing threads.
Baby’s first CAD project! The original design is from Layers in Green, but I resized them, added the right size hole for a strong magnet, made a cover for the magnet so it’s not gross looking/won’t fall out, and mastered a filament swap! My poor spouse has been hearing my crowing about filament swaps for 3 days lol 😂. And the orange ones glow in the dark!! And when you stick a needle to it (they’re needleminders), the bunny looks like he’s a skelly swordsman. Everything about them makes me so happy 😍.
Picture of some needle minders I made for shows. Most of these have sold, but I'm trying out some with shrinky dinks at soon. I'd love to do more with the little scissors too cause the hoop and bobbin ones are my fav, but I'm running out of the scissors and they are so much more expensive now. (ID in alt)
Throwing this idea into the world so maybe someone will do it.
Someone needs to make a needle minder where the needle would look like a sword. Like a knight in armor kneeling to receive a sword and you put the needle in his hands. Or a banner that says my sword and you put the needle in the middle. Or a cat with a sword
Progress update on my current cross stitch project. 💙 I have to say I'm not the biggest fan of working with 18ct Aida but I think it was the right choice for this huge piece.
Needle minders for the cross-stitching person in your life or for you
Needle minders are cute handy little magnets to hold your needle.
No need to stick the needle into you project, saving you from pokes or damaged fabric!
Simply put one magnet under your fabric and the other half the cute side on top then just place the needle on and Ta-da it stays (as long as the needle is metal)
usable on pretty much and needle work project, and they're
Updated my Ko-Fi commission page for both the earrings and needle minders to include this rainbow variegated thread option. The earring commission section now includes a way to add more bobbins for custom trio and longer sets as well as swapping out the white acrylic bobbins to these more earth-friendly, sustainable walnut wood ones. If you have any questions or requests, feel free to reach out on either platform.
