Shabby / Cottage Style Tri Fold Fabric Lace Book

[@patriciabrightwell196]

Today is actually the 4th of July, 2017 -- America's birthday -- and it is sooooooooo hot and humid -- just awful. So I thought I would use that as a good excuse to laze around and watch youtube videos. Jeanette, this project is lovely. You'll think I'm a nut, but I almost cried when you showed the snippet of fabric from your daughter's dress. Our house burned down, and all of my relatives are deceased, and so I had everything from my parents at my house -- but from the rubble, there was a box, and inside were my son's little oshgosh jeans he wore all the time(he's 26 now) -- because I loved them and he looked so cute -- so I absolutely understand why you saved the little skirt, and how precious the material you used was to you. Everything you make is wonderful, but this little book is so special because you made it with so much love -- be well, cheers -- Patricia

I thought it can't come anything more beautiful than what you have shown before, but this is the most beautiful treasure I've every seen. I already watched the video twice to get all the tiny details. Thank you Jeanette for this lovely moment.

[@MiCottageCrafts]

Oh my, that is so kind of you to say :) thank you so very much for watching, I really do appreciate it. Have a wonderful day :)

[@cyndiduncan7795]

This is amazingly beautiful. I love the pocket made with the shirt front. I may have to borrow that idea sometime.

[@debbievignola8275]

Beautiful lace book Jeanette. Love the cottage images.

[@MiCottageCrafts]

Thank you Debbie, I do love Cottages, they make me feel happy :) have a wonderful day

[@veraejcheffers332]

OMG I just love this book. Esp. the page with part of your daughters yellow dress in it. It is a cottage book of beautiful bits and pieces. Jeanette you are so gifted and know every little piece you have used and where its from. Respect and hugs from Vera NZ.

[@antm64]

Saw this gorgeous lace book on PINTEREST and had to take a closer look...so glad I did! Touring this book has provided such joy for me...Thank you! I agree, these is a difference between cottage and shabby chic...I like cottage style better. You have such a wonderfully creative brain for piecing everything together...it all fits so beautifully. Your narrative was pleasantly informative. Really well done!! This may be an older video, but it remains one of the best on KZbin!!

[@VintageArtTreasures]

Goodness Jeanette! I didn't want this to end! :) such a pretty fabric lace book! So colorful it was like I was walking in a garden of flowers with a cottage waiting for me to enter. Isn't it fun to take something like a pants leg and turn it in to something so beautiful. I loved all the eyelet you used. I have a big collections of vintage eyelet laces that I need to put them to use. This made me want to start a lace journal. I am working on my red, white and blue paper journal. But I will be adding some laces and trim to it. I still have never made a fabric book. :) I sure liked the style of this one. with the flip over closer. As, I said before you are such a talented artist. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work of art! Hugs, Judy

[@MiCottageCrafts]

Hi there Judy, I'm glad you like this little book, I'm quite liking this size and using the colours is a lot of fun. I'm rather partial to the old eleylet trims, I think we call it embroidery anglais over here and it does look nice. So sorry for the late reply but these comments sometimes get lost amongst other ones :) take care and have a lovely day xx

[@strandnixe1]

[@jeanwragg]

Your book is gorgeous Jeanette I think you were right not to add dangles it's perfect as it is. I don't add them as much as I use to, it almost felt a sin if you didn't add dangles when I first started lol. The effect can be just as interesting with out them. Thank you so much for sharing, so pleased you're working with laces again😊xx

[@MiCottageCrafts]

Hello Jean :) yes dangles would not have suited this little book. It is funny that you say that because as I was making it I kind of felt a little guilty not adding them, isn't that funny! haha Thank you for stopping by and I hope you are having a wonderful day :) take care xx

[@VintageShabbyChic]

Thank you ever so much :)

[@TraceyTruly]

I love your little book, that style of cover with the flap wrapping around is so...I wanna say romantic...I dunno, anyways just lovely. I like the clever use of a shirt front opening as a pocket...I shall tuck that idea away :) You know how you stood it up at the end to display and pointed out how round it is? I suddenly saw it as a pillow...(decorative/art pillow of course) Be cool way to display a larger soft lace book like that and of course it would have the secret of pages inside...anyways off on a tangent haha Thank-you for sharing, enjoyed this!!!!

[@MiCottageCrafts]

Hi there Tracey, I'm glad you like the little book and yes it does have a romantic feel to it. Oh well aren't you clever thinking of that, tangent's can be very useful at times so run off with them any time you like ;) have a wonderful day and thank you for watching :)

[@brendameredith9680]

So very pretty. I would love to attempt something like this so of course I could ask a million questions. You mentioned printing imagines on fabric paper. I don't know that I've ever seen that. Could I ask where you get it? Or could you use imagines printed on cardstock? Thank you for sharing. You are a very talented and creative lady.

[@MiCottageCrafts]

Hi there Brenda, you could certainly use printed cardstock images (I've done that in some of my books) and if you can't find any fabric paper you could always print your own, I have a written tutorial here that may help and you can substitute to a glue stick if you don't have the spray on type of adhesive (works just as good) - helmarusa.typepad.com/blog/2014/03/how-to-print-on-fabric.html I hope this helps :)
