Baby cloth book - To the circus


I was so happy when today the fabric for making a baby cloth book was delivered. I designed this for a spoonflower contest. If you like you can still vote for it!
I'll soon will make the bib and plushie too, unfortunately i'm too busy at the moment for that.

And if your interested; i have 3 of these yards in stock, ready to ship :D

I immediately started sewing :) It's very simple to make. Here are some pics on how to make it!
 
Cutting the fabric

6 pieces of fabric
I ironed on some fusible fleece (pellon 987F) on the back of the fabric on 3 pieces

The fusible fleece was a little smaller; so the edges of the book will not become to thick
Sew around and leave a little space open to turn the fabric
Cut the corners of the seam

Turn the fabric

Optional; add a ribbon

Three pieces are ready to become a book...

Sew the pieces to each other...it's a real book now!!!

Close the gaps by sewing with needle and thread


Tadaaaa...here it is...we're off to the circus!

Boardgame, TeaTowel & 2012 Calendar in one!



Woohoo...here's another fabric design that ended top 10 at Spoonflowers 'Tea Towel Calendar 2012' contest! Thanks for all the votes and lovely comments :) This was so much fun to make. Except for placing all those numbers :( Can't wait to recieve the fabric and sew the dice and pawns! And maybe a cute bag to carry this on vacation. It will be fun to play with my 4 year old son...who loves boardgames!

And i almost forgot to mention; today there are no shipping costs at Spoonflower :)
