Hi everyone, i just put a new post up on the forum with my latest pieces inspired by Heather @ Woollove-functional fiber
I love the way Heather made her new journal covers, all in one piece and not stitched together so had to have a go. Yes i made a few mistakes but im still very happy with how they turned out, especially this first one, not so much the second one :)
I added in a slim resist to make a pen pocket , you can just see the plastic sticking out of the center top ( i thought that was clever) and a way to always have a pen with the note book, also some tribute orange ( her favorite color) :)
I cut a piece of leather and used the inside of it for the closure ( the right side is brown and i wanted the orange ) with a toggle for the button
I loved this one at this stage but after it was dry there just not my colors, my daughter loved it so its hers now. Again another resist for a pen pocket which works really well
Thankyou for the inspiration Heather, i loved making these and plan on making more and perfecting more :)
