oops - almost forgot to blog today, but i'm sneaking this in at 11:55pm :)
wanted to share a sewing project that i put together as a downloadable "Class" for the Fiskars Crafts website...
it's a soft quilted baby-book filled with lots of bright colors and pics of evan's (or your baby's!) family.
this little book uses photo transfer paper (my fave!), basic sewing/quilting supplies, some alphabet stamps, and allows you to use-up tons of leftover fabric scraps when putting together each page.
and. i have to say that evan absolutely LOVES looking at his book:
...if you want to see the detailed downloadable PDF class instructions - you can view them HERE.
:)
GENIUS!!!
I love this idea.
Thanks for the tutorial.
I'll be whipping this up after Christmas for sure.

That's awesome, Susan. Wonderful idea, colors, photos. And so user friendly for a reader his age who probably likes to rip regular book pages apart. You rock. :)

I've been wanting to try one of these for awhile, so this is perfect! Yours is soo cute! Thanks for the tutorial!
One question, do you know if the ink jet iron on t-shirt sheets would work the same?
Thanks!

I visit everyday some websites and blogs to read articles or reviews, except this weblog provides quality based articles.

Thanks! :)

Love this adorable quilted book! I'm always looking for new ways to use my accumulation of fabric scraps! This could be just the thing to use them on! I love hand sewn gifts for baby showers too! It means so much more! Thanks for the fun sewing idea for kids!
