After my last post I had a bit of time before I needed to set off to teach the covered journals, so I made a few more - they really are doable in 20 minutes or so!
Here are a reporter's notebook (spiral bound at the top), a small hardback notebook, and a travel pass (that'll be the one with a London bus on the front!)
I also had a piece that I made about 3.5 years ago: Kate North was hosting a Stay At Home Round Robin : she gave us monthly instructions as to size and location of a piece and we added or created what we wanted. I made three and I have no idea what happened to the pink or the blue, but I loved the black/white/red piece but had no idea what to do with it - until today! It was the perfect size to become a ring binder cover
After I'd had loads of fun making these I let the Chertsey ladies have a go too!
From the same samples, the same set of instructions and the same resources box I was amazed how very different their covers turned out:
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
Well done ladies they are all so different and so lovely. I love your black white and red one!
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing to work with fabric and see, given the same set of instructions, how different each one looks.
