I had the idea to make a fabric book for a wee babylet that I love. She's not so wee anymore; she's big girl with a big personality now. OK, OK, so I'm a little late posting about this project. I've seen fabric books at the store, but couldn't find a pattern. So I went to the google-machine.
I search for fabric books brought up Quiet Books - that's the proper term for them. Whoa!! So much inspiration. Of course I needed a new Pinterest board to save a bunch of them.
Here's what I came up with. Once you start to get ideas, it's hard to contain them. You could easily get carried away.

These are the little finger puppets. There's a cow, a chick an a piggy, and they all live in a barn. |
|
This is horse that stands by a gate. When you open the gate, there's a little puppy. |
|
This a a pond, with little ducklings hiding under the flaps. |
|
Each flower has a little bug hiding somewhere in the petals. |
|
Of course a cat needs a bell. But this one also has a mousey friend. |
|
The tree has apples hiding in the leaves, and basket of apples at its base. |
|
There are a couple of eggs beneath the hen, with little chicks inside. |
|
The cloud has raindrops falling from it. There's a little bunny hiding behind the hill, and a buzzy bee in tree. |
|
This frog's tongue is an excellent fly catcher. |
|
This butterfly's spots can be snapped on an off. |
This project was so much fun, but the fine detail needed hand sewing that took a lot more time than I anticipated. Sewing with felt is so much fun.
I think I might have to do another one soon.
