(For a 1-year old)
This was fun and easy to make! The only tricky part was figuring out how to bind the pages together.
Currently working on another book for a baby boy!

Currently working on another book for a baby boy!
Can’t wait until I get my new desk set up. It is along the same line as this but they do not have the tabletop in green for that size. And yes, I’m green obsessed!
I finally got around to making a cushion for the bench I’ve been sitting on while sewing. So much more comfortable now!
Started working on gifts again and made this scissor case (Update: Doh, the link to this pattern I found no longer works).
I’m going to miss all this free time when I have to go back to work on Monday. Anyway, I love how it turned out!
Did not have leather on hand so I used this pretty scale-like cloth on the back. Added some rigidity by using dark brown stiffened felt as the lining.
See how the light hits it?! Shiny!
Made another page for the book.
Originally made mittens for myself but it turned out to be a bit snug around the thumb area. Will try again next time. Did not want to waste the material so I incorporated it into the book. Turned out fine in the end.
It started off as a striped pocket that later evolved into a face. It seemed less plain this way.
The gaming page. You can choose between a star and a heart puzzle or play 3-In-A-Row.
I had to do it! Love how the recycling symbol turned out! Added an inset pocket to hold the pictures.
Not sure how I feel about the yarn attached to the removable pieces. It can always be cut out if need be.
The green circle also doubles as additional storage since it is not completely sealed.
I spent all day creating pages for my newest obsession. I think this will end up being for two books; an older and younger child. Almost completed 5 pages today. Just waiting to get some muslin!
The circles are attached with Velcro. The words was good practice for hand embroidery. I started working from the bottom up. On GO, the strands are a bit looser compared to the STOP.
The bow tying page.
Another signal page. This one may be for the younger child. The hand and figure are attached with Velcro. Love how the WALK figure turned out! See the bottom edge of the floral fabric? Let’s hope I can hide that as part of the seam allowance when I sew the pages together.
Originally made a sun for the barn page but in the end it was better suited as a flower. That was a good excuse to add a bit of crochet into the book. Blooms are interchangeable since they are held in place with metal snaps.
Trying my hand at making a quiet/busy book.
Started by cutting out the animals and adding the details. Stitching them together will have to wait until tomorrow.
