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.

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.
