Bookcover

My diary is used very much, everywhere, so I prefer to have this

envelope around it to keep the book from looking hackneyed

I started this one two years ago and it will still last for one year, 

aproximately.

I left a diagonal opening to keep a pen ready for writing




It is the backside, a scrap cut from a waistcoat

which I made several years ago. I didn‘t like to wear it 

and made a Japanese knotted bag of it.  

here fixing the bottom



I loved the technique how the fabric is constructed:

Cut-outs from different fabrics and raw-edge appliqued on to a 

background fabric 

A cut-out flower for the backside of the diary



Front inside - a place to keep treasured things - here a smiling granddaughter

Many empty pages left for future happenings.
