Giant Fabric Book

Good Morning All
As some of you may know I have not been too good.
I am finding it hard to craft or do anything at present but I am trying to force myself to do things, even housework, swimming and blogging.
Hence, I thought I would show this Fabric Book I made before I went to UK in June.
It is rather large as it is made from a pillowcase.
This is the completed item.


 I bought a quilt cover and one pillowcase from a charity shop for afew euros.


This is the pillowcase, folded and I made two lots with it so there are four pages in my book.
This will be the outside, covered with lace, see pics further down.


I folded it up so that I had pockets too.

This is a tray cloth that I edged with binding to give it strength to make another pocket on the other page.










Then I just  added as much or a litlle embellishments as I wanted - doilies, hand crochet, broderie anglais trim, lace, dazzlers etc.







I finally sorted through all my charms and put them on put them on large safety pins and pinned them in.




Then added  Stick Pins and Embellishments I have made.



It is rather large, about A4 size but I love it and it takes pride of place on my coffee table in my craft room, ready for when I want to browse for embellishments.

    Hello Wendy, sorry to hear that you are still not too well, I hope you pick up soon.
    This is stunning work, I love the one that I won from you, it's so lovely I don't want to use anything, but it's also tactile, with all the different textures and so colourful, this one here is just as gorgeous only larger, take care of yourself, Kate x
