Making Something - A Bit Different ....

Back in the good old days, I joined an online class - The Remains of the Day - making fabric Journals run by Mary Ann Moss in Los Angeles.  The concept was based on a paper template, from which a fabric cover was made and then signatures of pages made from things like old envelopes, book pages, scrapbooking paper left overs and the like.
Needless to say, back in the good old days, I got as far as measuring and cutting out the paper template ....
and cutting out the fabric for the cover and tacking it together.
Today, out came the ironing board, the sewing machine and the scissors and I made the cover .....
Not a particularly good photo - but more will be revealed tomorrow.  In between Rachel leaving, eating a Chinese and succumbing to the pressure of a certain person to update this Blog (you know who you are - lol) I have got out my fabric scrap and ribbon and lace stash boxes and am off now to play to decorate the fold over flap, and start making pages.
