I am still working on my altered books and the other day I was busy cutting a piece of fabric to use in one of my pages and that brought me to the idea of creating a book with fabric pages. I first decided how big I wanted the book to be and then cut a few rectangular pieces exactly the same size. I then folded my rectangular pieces in half and stacked them on top of each other, threaded a needle with strong thread and started sewing all the pages together. I took a picture to show how the pages look from the side to give a rough idea of how I did it. I am calling it my little book of life and each page will represent something that reminds one of what life is all about. I plan to decorate it with a lot of embroidery and different stitches. We will see how it goes ! I will post my pages as I finish them. Here are the first one as well as a picture of the side of the book as described above.
