Merry Christmas and celebrate with a cute little fabric mini book. I love making little books and this one was super fun!
Pictorial instructions on sewing the book are found below.
Each page of the book can be a prompt for Christmas card ideas.
Creative Impressions felt Christmas shapes are DARN cute!
Create little pockets for a cheerful message, tucked away.
Combine non-traditional Christmas colors to brighten the pages and give a childlike, whimsical feel.
Collect different neutral fabric swatches to layer behind focal point.
The music note twill ribbon tab hints at the song "O' Christmas Tree".
Creative Impressions polymer stamps stamp beautifully on fabric!
Embellish your embellishments! Use a stylus to make red paint dot ornaments on an Antique Copper tree brad.

I sewed together a 4 x 8 panels of muslin and cotton duck for each page spread, 4 times.
I folded the "signatures" in half and sewed them to a 4 x 2 inch "spine" spacing them about 1/4 inch apart to accommodate all the goodies inside. :-)
