Heart & Sew Challenge on Children's Party Network
Calling all Children's Party Network members! A couple of weeks ago, I entered my handcrafted Say I Love You Book into the Heart & Sew Challenge sponsored by Grey Grey Designs. If you're a CPN member, simply go here and cast your vote for "3. Say I Love You Book". I'd love to get your vote!
Say I Love You Book
Five month old Lucien, whose name means "light" in French, has an extremely colorful heritage. Get this... he is part Vietnamese, German, Hawaiian, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Irish, English and French! And no joke, at two months he could already say "I love you". So as a Valentine's Day gift, I handcrafted a felt book that says those three magic words in all nine languages.
For the cover, "Lucien's Say I Love You Book" was traced onto tissue paper and sewn over with black embroidery thread. When I was done, I carefully pulled off the tissue paper, using twisters to remove the smaller pieces.
The family pictures and words inside the book were printed on transfer paper, ironed onto gray cotton fabric, then sewn on with colorful embroidery thread.
Finally, blanket stitches (go here for a great tutorial) were used to sew the felt pages together.
