Custom Needlepoint Wallets

We’ve shown a lot of needlepoint belts on our website, but if you are looking for another fun easy idea for a new project, Kathy at Leatherprize just emailed me some pictures of needlepoint wallets that she finished recently.  Don’t they look great?!!

These are simple projects for beginners to advanced stitchers who want to stitch something that can be used in the day to day…

We can design a custom needlepoint canvas for you.  The design size (including an extra stitch to fold the edge over with) is 9.1 x 3.5 inches.  Normally you can repeat a design on both sides, or we can do two different designs!

Monograms, favorite sports, hobies, or teams are a few ideas for mens wallets.

If you are looking for a great needlepoint belt finisher Kathy is your person.  We’ve been sending our customers to her and have had great reviews.  Poke around her website, there are lots of ideas there that we’d be happy to help design the canvas for you to stitch and have her finish.

Contact us if you’d like help designing your own needlepoint kit for a belt or wallet.

Preppy Needlepoint Belts – Bow Ties and Whales

Tracy has really outdone herself recently, with lots of fantastic new needlepoint belt designs!

This week we added two new preppy needlepoint belts to our website.

Our preppy bow tie needlepoint belt features different sized ties with various patterns and colors.  If you’d like to be able to “wear” it on your waist around town we can add a personalized designed tie to this belt!

If you’re into coastal history especially around Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket, the preppy whale needlepoint belt is a great design.  Add a monogram for Free and change colors to suit.

Sailing Regatta and Tall Ship Needlepoint Belts

Being a sailor myself, I’m really enjoying two new needlepoint belt designs we put on NeedlePaint last week.

The preppy sailing regatta needlepoint belt features beautiful spinnakers going downwind.   The fun colors will draw in the eye, but the tasteful and “fast moving” design will be a hit at the local yacht club.  We can even adjust the lead boat to have your spinnaker!

Now, on to another type of sailing, we also created a tall ship needlepoint belt.  Classic sailing vessel designs include schooners, cutters, gaff rigs, and even an official full rigged ship.  This features a green stripped background over navy.  Again, if you know somebody who sailed on a different type of boat not shown, just let us know and we will customize a new boat and put it into the design!

As with all of our designs, both are available as finished belts or needlepoint canvases that you stitch yourself.

Have a great week!

Big Game Hunting Needlepoint Belts

Living in Colorado means you get to see a lot of big game, sometimes walking right by you on a hike! (Although that never seems to happen during hunting season).

We decided to take some classic big game hunting needlepoint concepts and reinvent them with updated detail so the outdoorsman has something traditional and truly special to wear.  Keep in mind that we can change the background color and add a monogram at no extra charge!

Also, if you love to stitch, all of these designs are available as needlepoint canvases.

Starting with the new designs, the big game profile needlepoint belt features a moose, an elk, and a buck on a hunter green background.

The last new design we created for hunters this week is the wild boar needlepoint belt.  While probably not technically considered “big game” I know from my friends that wild boar are not only a pest but also good sport.  While writing this blog I learned that the definition of “big game” varies but in North America it can include elk, moose, deer, bear, and bison.  (follow the earlier link to learn more!)

Labs have so much personality, and so do their owners! Our distinguished black lab needlepoint belt shows the dog at attention and spices up the wardrobe with an azure blue background.
