Getting ready to sew...

So, after wondering around Joann Fabric for about 30 minutes, I finally decided on material for the cover of the book, denim, and another cool striped print for the inside. I already knew I needed to get muslin for the pages, so I did that-- here's a few pictures of my materials.

I got 3 yards of each- denim, the striped material for the inside of the cover, and fusible fleece. I had some left-overs of everything (this is for 2 books).

Then I cut out all the pieces of my cover--


I followed these instructions to make the cover.

Amazing to think that in just a little while from the time this picture was taken I had constructed something... which I hope will be useful! :)


After fusing the fleece to the back of the striped material- I was ready to sew!!
