Vintage Needle Book Tutorial
Materials needed:
Fabric of your choice, lace of your choice, felt colored coordinated with your fabric, trims of your choice & embellishments of your choice, liquid fabric glue, hot glue gun, thread, sewing needle if done by hand and/or sewing machine.
Instructions:
1-Cut 1 piece of fabric, 1 piece of wide lace & 3 pieces of felt all at 8x4.5
2- Add lace to fabric by glue or sewing
3- Add trims to fabric also
4-Trim the edges of the felt sheets with your zig zag scissors
5-Add 1 piece of felt to the wrong side of the fabric
6-Glue or sew the felt piece to the fabric
7- Stack up the other 2 pieces of felt over the sewn piece of felt
8-On the right side of fabric add the 1" ribbon or trim and center it & secure with pins
9- Cut a smaller pierce of felt & trim edges (size of this piece is up to you)
10- Do 2-3 running stitches on the ribbon or trim
Now you are done with the contraction of the book, for the inside I cut out lots of felt strips of 1x4" and glue the ends, after I add them any where I wanted them at, decorate with more trims, bling, laces any think you like, follow pictures, cheers
