Here’s Katy…
Once you think you’re satisfied with the cover, attach the inside sleeves, cutting two pieces of felt that are a third of the size of the cover. Attach with a blanket stitch, satin stitch or just a simple running stitch 1/4″ into the seam. Don’t go any bigger or your book won’t fit!
Okay…love the smattering of beads. That the turquoise and orange combo. The colors pop!
Amazing! I love it!
What a stunning project! Have been following both you and Katy for over a year and love you ladies and your blogs!
This is beautiful!! And I spent minutes just staring at her header too, so many beautiful little pieces. Great idea.
Thanks for all the kind words! And thank you for having me, Delia 🙂
Just so beautiful! Actually thought it would be a brighter orange than this! Now I need to go and buy felt, and a notebook and beads and thread! How thick/heavyweight is your felt? I have some wool felt, but it’s pretty thin.
This is so gorgeous! Impeccable as always, just as Delia described.
thingsforboys–You’re right. This is the 3mm felt, but I would imagine if you did a double layer of something thinner that might be just fine. I’m working on another one that is just the regular thickness, and it is also working. I may back it with some regular fabric to prevent stretching, but the wool is pretty durable.
Anneliese–thank you 🙂
WOW! This is so very beautiful! Love, love the embroidery. Katy is so talented.
Wow Katy, this is so so beautiful!
That's really great! I'm fond of juicy colors and bright seed beads!
Love your book cover
