Felt book

7:20 am - 04/19/2006
I was inspired by the books I've seen on here. Especially the one in the memories section. As you can see, I stole my elephant idea from her. But it was too cute so I had to try! I made this one for my friend's daughter, Petra. I'm also doing another for a little boy named Aidan but it's not finished.

Let me know what you think! :)

Also, I found this great material at the thrift store and HAD to buy it! I got a cheap $30 sewing maching at Kmart to play with. If I can get any good at sewing, then maybe I'll invest in a real machine!

This is just fantastic! I love the embroidery you did and the colours are fabulous.

I'm sure your friend's daughter will love it. Great job!!!
