There’s always something rather beautiful to me about the first clean page in a new sketchbook/notepad. The anticipation it holds – the book could ultimately become anything – its future is not yet written or in this case drawn.
Everyone knows I love a good notebook, I’ve a whole cupboard shelf full of gifts waiting their own special purpose in life and now I’ve worked out how to create reusable fabric covers there is no stopping me – I love anything ethical and recyclable – but neither do I have space for nor can I afford to purchase another sideboard in which to store my newfound treasure. The only solution is to sell my creations.
I’ve created 3 designs for February – each based on my photography, Dana Duckling, Rudy Robin and Simon Sparrow. They are appliqued and free machine embroidery designs.
