This is my current work-in-progress...a fabric collage book. After working on organizing my studio ( a New Years resolution), I had a huge bin filled with scraps of fabric, lace and ribbon that were too small to do anything with, and too good to throw away. I decided to use what I had on hand, and make a fabric collage book. For the cover I used a scrap of an old quilt that I actually bought with the idea of making it into a cover of something...
I cut 3 rectangles of canvas slightly smaller that the cover, to use for the pages. The canvas made a sturdy base for sewing on lots of layers, and it's what I had handy:) I sewed a straight seam down the middle, and presto...a book!
Then I just started layering scraps and sewing them on, with the machine and by hand. I'm still adding...from this...
to this...
I sew down a few big pieces of fabric as the base...
and then layer the smaller pieces on top...
I'm still working on this and have lots to add (I still have 3 blank pages to fill), but I thought I would share the progress!
