I have a variety of styles of bobbin cases now but when I first started making lace I made my own roll up one as shown in an old book. I used pre-quilted fabric, just turned up a pocket and sewed the sections for the bobbins. When it was rolled up it was huge :-) Never made that one again!!
One of the members of Land of Lincoln (Brenda Glenn) made roll up cases for everyone who attended convention last year (250+). She does dressmaking so her stitch lines were perfect unlike the sample I made for her. :-) I came up with a roll up design about 5 or 6 years ago that used tulle for the pockets. I had started using more color in my work and wanted to be able to see the colors on the pre-wound bobbins. My homemade roll up cases have wide pockets as I like to stuff in as many as 3 pairs in each one. That way, I can get about 60 pairs in it. Of course I do not do that to my beautifully painted spangled bobbins. They are in the zippered cases.
