My Creative Space

After yesterdays fruitful afternoon of ideas, I decided to start these characters off in a small cloth book.


I made some templates of each of the character shapes, so that I can apply them to other things later.



I love my old Elna sewing machine. It's just been serviced and it sews like a dream. Basic, but that's just how I like it thanks very much! It's been so long since I've sewn that I almost forgot how to thread it up and adjust things like the tension!


It didn't take long for it to feel like old times, and I was soon zig zag stitching with the best of them!!



I'm looking forward to starting on the Bunny, and the Crocodile pages next. Of course, I have not quite figured out the logistics of stitching all the pages together yet, but will deal with that one later!

Absolutely FABULOUS!!!! The characters are very cute and your book is going to look amazing. When you sew the pages together you should put some cellophane or plastic in the middle for that lovely crinkly sound that the kids love when paying with those types of toys.

cool, very creative indeed. nothing like using an old metal machine, they seem to handle bulky layers much better than the new ones i think. looks like lots of fun, enjoy & thanks for sharing.
holy smokes! This is incredible! Makes me want to break out my sewing machine :-)
