As I said in my last blog I am obsessed with Pinterest. I blame my cousin Elizabeth for introducing my to the site in the first place.
I have been seeing these quiet books show up on my board for awhile. And I thought to myself.. "Hey I could do that! Riley would love it. She is totally into books. I should make one!" This coming from the girl who got a sewing machine for her birthday 4 years and has used it once with the help of my mother (Who is awesome at sewing. The woman made me a prom dress for goodness sake. Side note on that my Dad actually taught my Mom to sew, cool parents I have right!?!) to make curtains for Riley's bedroom.
So I started collecting ideas, and fabric, and buttons, and zippers, and felt (oh so much felt) and all the things that I thought that I would need. Well last night I started cutting out my templates. I am realizing that I might first my first book by the time Riley turns 5. Goodness me is it time consuming. First I cutting the templates out in paper, because I can;t get any of the fabric pencils that I have to write on felt GRRRRR! Then I am pinning my paper templates onto the felt to cut it out. I brought embroidery scissors, because A) They are small enough to cut the small templates and B) They are super sharp.
I have not even started sewing anything yet. Hopefully I can get into a rhythm and get a few pages done. I will keep you all updated.
These are some of the pages taht I have found my ideas on:
