Masterchef Round 5 - the mini book

Well, I estimate I worked on this for about 9 hours but I really think the end result was worth it!






I decided to create a baby proof mini book made totally from fabric and other soft, squidgy materials. Everything in here was hand sewn using running stitch, back stitch, and the occasional cross stitch. I used 5" fabric squares as the base of the book and stitched them back to back before turning them inside out to get lovely neat edges. I then stuffed them with wadding to get a padded effect and secured all the pages together with ribbon, having first punched the holes with my cropadile (it's first use!). I printed the photos onto Calico fabric which I attached to cardstock with temporary Herma adhesive, having previously run it through the printer to check where the photos would print.

Thanks for looking - please keep your fingers crossed for me!
