Maritime A6 re-usable notebook covers

Here are our latest creations. These are made from remnants of the maritime material that we used to make our lined tote bags with. We cut out the sailboat motifs and using bondaweb, attached them to the background material. We decided that a little row of bunting across the top, balanced the picture. We used a combination of straight stitch and free-motion, to stitch around the motifs in dark grey cotton - we find black can be quite unforgiving! We used wadding to provide an extra quality feel. We love the overall appearance and hope that other people will too. Have learnt that one should stop free-motion sewing when in the middle of a coughing fit - it doesn't make for smooth flowing lines!
