How to Make Fabric 3-ring Binder Pages and Cover Them With Stitching
Imagine a way to display your collection of slow stitching, small quilting, embroidery, cross stitch, punch needle, needlepoint, so that you can enjoy them as easily as turning a page. This Stitch Notebook is my solution for what to do with a growing number of textile art pieces. The more I stitched, the more I realized that I they needed a purpose and a place to stay tidy.
Making the Stitch Notebook cover was a glorious exercise in experimenting with stitching. Now I show you how to make simple blank “pages” that can either be their own pieces of art or serve as a backdrop for other pieces.
Whatever your style, skill level or textile interests, the Stitch Notebook can hold your smaller creative pieces beautifully. Use it as a place to hold your stitch sampler or ideas and color tests for larger pieces. The possibilities are endless. Let’s make something simply beautiful together!
