It started like this...
and looked like this when it was done.
Inside, there are many storage compartments which can hold all kinds of doo-dads.
There can never be too many compartments...or doo-dads...can there?
And a few more...just because I was having so much fun.
And finally...
And that's what I did yesterday.

I need some kind of notion to keep it closed. I don't particularly want a snap as they are so predictable. I thought of a ribbon to tie it closed but then it would have to wrap around. Do you have any suggestions?

Happy stitching!

hi kaaren.....love, love, love it! what about a really nice vintage button with some matching ribbon looped around to close it? you know...a little ribbon to slip over the button.
i have a question...is what you call wool, similar to felt? i've not seen much wool here, just normal cheap felt. i think i've phrased my question wrong, hope you know what i'm trying to say! LOL
it's late here.

Kaaren, I love it! The Pinkeep looks so good done in the wool.
What about using a tiny doll button with a crocheted loop? Would that work?
Kaaren,
You are so smart. It is adorable. I think a narrow ribbon would be nice if you tacked it on so you wouldn't misplace it and it wasn't too wide to cover up the bunny. I like the other ladies suggestions too. I say it again, You are so smart!
Or what about a button but with a small piece of thin elastic to hold it closed. I think your pinkeep turned out beautifully.
bee-you-ti-full! (but you already knew that, right...)
How about a button with a ribbon to wrap around the button. this is adorable!
Kaaren ~ I love your pinkeep. You should do a tutorial for it. I would love to make one of those!
Just too cute!! Love it! I love all the little pockets and places for things! And what about a button, something vintage, cute, maybe with a little ribbon loop?
Oh Karren...the new pinkeep is so cute. I love it and wish I had the time to do one for myself.
Kaaren - it is so adorable! You know those manila envelopes that have a figure-eight closure with a little string? How about something like that and have the string made out of a thin strip of wool and wrapped between 2 cute buttons? Can't wait to see what you do!
Cheers!
The wool looks beautiful to work with. It's a really gorgeous sewing accessory!
What about a toggle button, with a ribbon loop? Or even a nice wooden button with a ribbon loop? It's very nice.
Oh this is wonderful. Practical and beautiful. And that color of wool is delicious.
Hi Kaaren,
This is so beautiful. You are very creative. I like the toggle or the loop with the button idea. No matter what you decide it is adorable. You've been so(sew)busy!!!

What a CUTE pin keeper. I agree...vintage button and a narrow pretty little ribbon.
Love the pin keep with the bunny on the front...and I agree with you...you can never have too many little pockets!
