Here is my journal for week 4. I had so much fun making it and I love the fabrics I got to work with.
It is a trifold structure, with green fabric corner pockets and 3 booklets of paper inside.
I used a snap closure, but sewed a button on the front for decoration.
Next week is our last week of this session of Sue B.'s class and then the next one begins.
Look at this wonderful, fully jointed mini mohair bear Melanie made for me!
She used a pattern I purchased from PengPeng and surprised me with her yesterday!
I have named her Persimmon and call her Per for short.
Isn't she cute!
Melanie and I are taking another book binding class this weekend so I will have more pictures of a new structure called a Tunnel Book next week!
Have a great weekend everyone! What do you have planned? Please leave a comment and let me know!
This journal turned out great! The fabric is really nice!
