FABRIC JOURNAL COVERS

A couple months ago, I started handstitching little quilted pillows, and stitching them together to form book covers.

This one has narrow pockets to hold pens. The paper can be removed and/or added to.

This book has pockets front and back.

It also has binder clips to hold the spiral bound sketch book.

 

I came across a video by Teesha Moore and saw how she made these little pillows.

 You can access it from HERE.

There are four videos in all and her work is so inspiring, you'll want to try it too. I love the freedom with this- no rigid patterns or designs. No rules art- my favourite. She does use a machine to start her pillows but I chose to make mine totally hand-sewn. This is also a great portable craft. I stitched during many car trips. Added beads and embroidery while watching TV in the evenings.

A big stack of quilted pillows became a tote bag.

 

Lots of possibilities.

I hope you enjoy the videos by Teesha Moore. All of her art is inspiring.

 

Thanks for looking!
