The Making of a Felt Book

I am making grandson David a felt book.

There is a pattern but I kind of did my own thing.

Here are the beginning pages.

The heart in hand was one of the patterns I used from the kit.

I added the free hand flower on the side.

There was a pocket pattern but I found these bits leftover from a baby quilt.

I added some lining and used a blanket stitch to secure it to the page.

There will be a snap closure.

Here is the cover. I cut out the letter free hand from scraps then used a tiny blanket stitch that is on my sewing machine. I sewed the front and back of each page together with a running stitch using 

DMC Pearl Cotton. The plan is to finish the book tonight. Fingers crossed.

I have finished one green block for the Color Challenge. The other block is cut out but may not be finished before we leave to visit the grands in NYC.
