Altered Filofax

Good Morning All

I,m still altering and decorating stuff after watching Fiona on You Tube

This is my latest, an old Filofax.




Fiona makes it all look so easy and perfect.

I,ve had this Filofax since I used to go to work and just renewed the insides each year.
I keep all my old diaries and knew I had this and thought it would be good to cover.
I will buy a new inside for it for 2017.

This is the back and I am still using some fabric cut off from a quilt cover when I recovered the outside sofa.


I crocheted the doilies myself.

Cut my name using an alphabet punch.


I made the lacy flower and added tassles made from some silky knitting thread and added a pearl on the end of each one.


I used felt for the inside and added elasticated lace to store odd bits of paper or cards etc.

Very pleased with how this turned out but could do better and will keep playing.
