Some progress has been made on the book cover started last month.
It has fabric from old clothes and curtains, some from the 1970s.
The white lacy daisy is from a dress I had when I was 17, the stars are from holey old jeans that Miss E (14) has grown out of. I love them sitting close to each other in this piece.
This project is a lot of fun.
The inspiration comes from “The Magpie’s Nest”
a course by Aimee Irel Bishop
I have started another, which I have made in a different way.
This time, instead of cutting slits in the base fabric, I have laid strips on top of a piece of fabric to act as the ‘warp’. I tacked then down along the top edge and started weaving.
There is more to do.

Great use of tiny bits and pieces… something I’m always on the lookout for. I may have to try making something like this as a demo for the shop.

Could be made into cushion covers, if you stick to fabric strips.

I love the idea of scraps from something you wore and something from Miss E at similar age coming together.

The texture is amazing, and I love the tiny pings and pops of bright colour.
