Hello!
I am back again to show you a neat gift idea. It wasn't my idea but it is a great one! A fellow blogger and seamstress, Lindsay, aka Cottage Mama, came up with this fabulous tutorial. Fabulous because I could easily follow her instructions and complete a bunch of these in the same weekend! Yahoo!
So here goes!
Step one, pick out some fabric combos. I was pulling fabric off of the shelf and seeing how they looked together.
I had to make four notebooks so this is what I came up with. (I also used sticky notes to label each fabric part).
Second, I picked up some supplies at the dollar store....
I made two on Saturday and two on Sunday. The directions and pictures really helped! I even tried covered buttons. Now I am totally hooked on them! My daughter suggested adding some ric-rac and I also used different types of decorative stitching. Since I had elastics, I added in an elastic to hold a pen on the inside.
Next thing I knew, I was finished!
I was thinking these would be perfect gifts for my daughter's teachers....great for their next faculty meeting!
I would just like to thank the Cottage Mama for sharing her great tutorial! Go check it out!!!! She has a fabulous website/blog/store!
I am making a few dresses for the girls next...so keep checking back! Have a great week!
Love,
Cathy
