Make | Moleskine cover

All around the house, there are Moleskine Cahier notebooks dotted about ready at any given moment to receive one of my many lists.  So when I saw a Moleksine DIY of how to embellish the cover, I thought I'd give it a try.

Tools required:

- Moleskine Cahier notebook (the one with the paper cover not the hard cover)

- Scrap fabric

- Scissors

- Glue

- Sewing machine

How to:

- Cut your fabric down to the size you want it (so that it will fit within the parameters of the cover page.
- Fold back the edges so that you get a neat finish to the edge.  I found that it helped to iron them down.
- Apply a little fabric glue to secure.

Week 12 | Feeling crafty

I cannot believe we are nearly a quarter way through the year already!  I hate to say it... but time does fly (especially when you're not working at the minute).  I have been reading through several lovely blogs over the past few weeks and found that my reading interests have fallen mainly within the crafting category.  There are some amazing people out there making some really fun and inspirational things.  I started following Folk Fibers by Maura Grace Ambrose.  Maura is a girl who has a serious passion for making patchwork quilts and cushion covers.  She also makes her own dyes for the fabrics using foraged plantlife, flowers, wild mushrooms and other sustainable organic matter.  What wowed me the most about her is the fact that she hand-embroiders all the stitch details onto the quilts.  This must take such a long time but the end results are beautiful and unique.
