Crazy Patchwork Book Cover


Pat loves trying all the different creative techniques and 
some she likes doing but doesn't want to make then into 
anything. She had collected several samples and so decided
to put them into a fabric book which she could add pages to
as and when.
We make fabric books on Level One City and Guilds
so samples are small but are part of an item that can be 
continued. Its great choosing a theme or colour 
so then it doesn't matter what technique you try you can add them
to your book and they are small so can be finished in a short period 
of time.

Jeanette's Notebook

Jeanette had been on a workshop recently to make backgrounds
and the flowers.
She wanted to incorporate them in the
embellishment of notebook covers.
She had brought several little notebooks and wants to cover them for gifts.
By adding some gold threads
( which she had to go and buy from The bead Shop in Dereham)
and some extra quilting it gave this cover a real lift.
The cover was then finished off by making a lining which
slips off if necessary.
I have used many different methods of finishing sketchbooks
but this one called for some jewel coloured lining
to give it the added luxury.
