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.
