A Brand New Workshop to Go: The French Stitched Holiday Fabric Book

 

If you are looking for a new and exciting creative project this holiday season, you are going to be beside yourself happy.  It's so exciting to share this workshop to go with you...for a brand new, never before released creatologie hand made book.

If you love soft fabric books that make you feel like you want to cuddle it :), you are going to love this one.  When I taught this book at a workshop earlier this month, I can't tell you how many times I heard someone say that they just loved the "feel" of the book.

While the French stitched binding is not new and certainly not something I came up with, how it's put together, the theme, and the sizing is a creatologie studio original.

Here's what you will learn in this workshop to go.  I'll teach you how to create the fabric pages and what materials to use for the best results.  You will learn how to bind the pages together.

And, of course, there's the cover.  I am simply smitten with all of the layers and textures...and once you put your cover together, you will be too!  I'll teach you how to create the textured stocking...and for those of you who don't celebrate Christmas, you can do this book concept with a different theme and a shape like a heart, star, etc.  But if you are doing a stocking, you have to have great fillers!!!  I'll give you some ideas for that as well.

There are nine completed interior pages that I'll share with you.  Most of the materials used in this entire project are easy to find and if you are a collector of fabrics, trims, ribbons and buttons, you will be in heaven using things from your stash.  You are also going to love that some of the techniques can be used in cards and other projects, too.  Yay for practicality!!! :)

These instructions contain lots of pictures and I have written out the step by step process for making the pages, stitching them together, creating the cover and of course, the interior pages.

If you're too busy to create this fabulous book right now, no worries.  Simply order today, download the instructions to your computer and when things slow down a bit and you have the time, you can pull your supplies together and create to your heart's content!

You don't want to miss out on this workshop to go...it'll be available for a limited time for just $18...a small indulgence for a lot of creativity.

EDITED TO ADD:  AN ELEGANT VINTAGE HOLIDAY ALBUM...I START, YOU FINISH...ONE OF A KIND!

Doing step outs for Workshops to Go sometimes leave me with parts and pieces that just beg to be used.

Such was the case with the French Stitched Holiday Fabric Book...I ended up with a wonderful beaded stocking...just waiting to be filled with fabulous goodies from my stashes :).

So, I put together a canvas album with a padded cover and 14 interior canvas surfaces, just perfect for a holiday memory book.  The look is definitely elegant vintage, with old lace pieces from tablecloths, curtains and even wedding dresses on the cover.  The stocking is filled with vintage silver (the real thing) tinsel garland, rhinestone and carved ivory earrings, a vintage cherub, diamantes, vintage script paper leaves and flowers, and the most fabulous antique leaves made with tiny mercury glass beads and wire.  

I know that you are just going to love the feel of the cover...between the textured crinkle ribbon, all of the laces, the beautiful silver glass beads, the sequined lace trims and the stocking stuffers, it's like you are transported to an earlier time era when elegant details really mattered!

I've added a couple of fringes along the edges...one is a wedding lace fringe and the other is a button/crinkle ribbon fringe.

I know that many of you prefer to make your own albums...but maybe there's someone out there reading this post that just flat out doesn't have time this year.  If that's the case, this one's for you!  While you are celebrating and making memories, your album will be on its way to your home.  Then, after the holiday season, you can fill the inside pages with your pictures, stories and elements from your own elegant vintage collections.

This album, a totally unique, one of a kind, original is available for just $97, plus shipping (within the US, AZ sales tax included).  Just click on the Buy Now button below to make it yours!  Then, relax, enjoy the holiday and savor the memories!

SOLD.  THANK YOU!
