I've wanted to make one of these for several years, and I'm so pleased it's finally finished. The pattern directions were clear, and the case was easy to make. I don't know why I didn't just do it a long time ago.
The fabric of the case is quilted, and it closes with a piece of grosgrain ribbon wrapped around the case and held shut with velcro.
It unfolds to reveal five vinyl pockets that hold up to 48 spools of thread plus a few sewing necessaries. 
The tan fabric under the zipper is a piece of ultrasuede or faux suede. Thread tails are fed through the ultrasuede, and you can easily thread a needle without removing the spools from their pockets by simply pulling the thread through the ultrasuede.
The sewing necessaries pocket is about 6 inches, so there's plenty of room for scissors, needles, thimble, measuring tape, other notions, and of course, a little chocolate. Fabulous!
The pattern also contains directions for a smaller case that holds up to 12 spools of thread and folds up to 5" x 5".

Your sewing case is great. I know what you mean about getting around to sewing something up. So glad you were able to get into a class with Bonnie Hunter. She is one of my favorite quilters.
I love that case! I might have to get the pattern for myself. It would be great for my to go hand applique bag!
