My one moment of true happiness was making a bone needle by grinding it against sand on a rock many, many years ago
So I got new clip-on earrings, pretty little Dead by Daylight ones ❤️ Killer earrings to say the least!
Also made a necklace some time ago, with amethyst and a bone needle, which you can take off the ring to use in nalbinding.
Bone sewing needles from Altamira 13 500 - 11 000 BP. This Palaeolithic invention had the same purpose as the current tool: to make clothes, shoes or hats. With parallel grooves made with a burin, thin rods were extracted from the bone which later were perforated and polished on stone to make needles. The smallest ones, with a 2 mm diameter and an eye, prove how well they tanned skins to make clothes, and how thin the thread was, which was probably made of animal tendon.

Made myself a bone needle for naalbinding, which is a really old-fashioned way of knitting. Going to dig out some thread and give it a try.
The bone is an old coyote bone I found down in Arkansas.
I just finished a needle case made from an antler I was given. The listing is up on Etsy:
