Updating Vintage Sunbonnet Sue Needlebook

A few weeks ago, I was enchanted by finding this adorable little vintage Sunbonnet Sue Needlebook in a second hand store. Poor little thing… she’s very stained, and rather frayed around the edges. Even so, she stole my heart, and I knew that I just had to see if I could rescue and re-create her. If you are wondering what a needle book is, it’s a rather sweet bit of stitchery history.
