Handmade Stitched Books













I's Holiday Journal, back and front, 10cm x 15.5cm (approx)

Young Embroiderers (Lincoln Bailgate Branch) met today. I and A went along for the first time. The concertina style books were made using fabric, ribbon, beads, buttons, and stitch. The inner pages are hand-dyed paper, with stitched pockets in which to insert special treasures. Thanks to Christine, Robyn, and the other helpers, the girls enjoyed the day and came back inspired not only to complete their holiday journals, but to make more books using the same techniques.
