Fabric Journals

Last month I joined an online class with Mary Ann Moss which is called Remains of the Day making a Fabric Journal and using up all those scraps for the signatures. This has opened up a whole new world for me and perfect to start using up all that stuff I am saving. What a hoot this class has been. She is a wonderful teacher and provides a lot of great information and videos.




I used two different pieces of fabric and added a lot of decorative stitching. I then added fibers to it with some more stitching. Then added the lace and buttons for decorations.





This one was done with canvas that I had painted and stenciled and some cotton fabric that I had dyed and wrote on with a fabric marker. I then added the ladies which I think are a riot. Way too much.





I made this journal out of a piece of fabric that I really liked but it didn't look the same after I got done adding strips of silk diagonally using a ziz zag stitch. I then added these wild and crazy ladies fabric which I found up in Prescott at a little fabric store

  2. I admire all your bottlecap art every time I see it but would love to know how to make the purse. How do you attach them after you make up all the bottlecaps so that they stay on the bag? Gorgeous! Kathy
