BOHO Themed Fabric Book

 

After watching an Andrea (Artymaze) youtube about creating a fabric book from scraps, I decided to have ago.  The first thing to do was cut 9 strips of fabric for a base.  Then using scraps of different types of fabrics, I completely covered them.


Next I made the cover using two of the strips from above as a background, then I added other fabrics, frills and ribbons.


This is the fabric which I used for the inside which you won't see eventually.


Once I'd sewn all the pages in I added more bling to the cover and also one of the boho tassels that I made ages ago.


This is the inside cover and the first page, with a pocket.


This is the tag that was in the pocket, with another tag inside it.


These are the next two pages.  I printed some images, quotes and words onto a cream coloured fabric by running it through the printer.


The next couple of pages both have scraps of Indian sari fabrics and the right page has a side pocket.


And this is the tag from this pocket.


The next set of pages and on the right a pocket made from another piece of Indian sari fabric.


And this is the tag that was in the pocket.


These are the centre pages and each one has a pocket and a tag.


And these are the tags.


The next set of pages and printed images.


Another piece of jewelled Indian fabric on the left page and a pocket on the right.


And the tag, a printed quote.


This is the last double page, the right hand side has a side pocket made from lace.


This is the tag, with a layer of sequin lace over the top of the quote.


Finally the back page, with a pocket using another piece of Indian sari fabric.


And the tag with lace and a printed word.


And this is the back of the cover. I haven't added anything else to it as I want it to sit flat.


It stands up well and this is from the back with the tassel.


And this is the view from the top.

I'm really please with how it's turned out and it's a lovely size.

FABric Tags - Boho Style



I out some scraps of fabric onto a tag shape to cover the background, then sewed around the edges with the machine.


And the same again for this one.


Then I played around with some other pieces of fabric to create a layout I liked.


And again, did the same with the other one.


Once happy, I got the sewing machine out again and attached all the fabric pieces.


And I did the same for this one. And as you can see, I slightly changed the layout of this one from the original.


Here they are out in the garden side by side.

This image has a piece of wadding underneath so it puffs out.


And another piece of the broken jewellery to finish it off.

These are my day 5 tags for the FABtag30 challenge.

Large Boho Fabric Tags


Coloured some pieces of lace with DW and Pebeo paint.


Covered the tag with fabrics and added lace and gems.


Patterned paper on the back.


Close up of the tassels and the gems.


Sewed around the edges. Not neat, but it wasn't meant to be.


Tag two initially covered with one piece of fabric.


Back of the tag, patterned paper.


This was cut from another piece of fabric and gems added.


Gems added to the painted lace.


Another piece of fabric added and also a part of a doily which has been painted.


The two tags side by side. They are quite large, approx 8.5" x 5.5".
