Wrap Round Book


This week, whilst keeping out of the way of the plastering, I have been trying to complete an A4 wrap round book cover which I was asked to do almost a year ago.

The fabric is an upholstery fabric which has probably been treated with fire retardant the consequence of which has made it quite stiff.  I used some new DMC metallic threads in both silver and gold for a lot of the machine stitching and placed a piece of bronze sheer fabric under the dandelion clock.  The leaves have been created using a metallic sheer fabric with two colourways - gold and green.

As usual the colours are not quite right and it is much nicer in the flesh.  I just have to join the sleeves to it now when I get a minute or two.
