This is a page from my sketchbook explaining in words and diagrams how to make the little notebook. I was influenced by an article titled 'Fresh as a Daisy' (Article from Stitch magazine, Issue 57) by Angie Hughes - see her work at the bottom of the page. Angie had created her 'bookwraps' using textured fabrics, layering of paper and fabric, stitching and contrasting colours.
To make my notebook I used materials that I had on my shelf at home: aida fabric, netting, baking paper, beads, cotton and embroidery thread and a button to fasten and through experimentation of materials, I made a sample piece. I am really proud of my little notebook, and can't wait to start on the final larger-scale piece.
