Lever Arch file cover and Tula Pink π
I am pleased as punch (stationery pun intended) with my Lever Arch file cover, designed to pretty up those boring plain files. Mine has been filled with sewing patterns but you can use it for whatever you like! Keep it simple using one fabric or add in some patchwork and embellish to your hearts content. There are so many possibilities for personalising this with patchwork, appliquΓ© or embroidery.
The spine of the file has a vinyl pocket for a label, so it is practical as well as pretty.
This first edition was made with Blueberry Park by Karen Lewis Textiles as the main fabric and a strip of hand sewn clamshells (begun as a sample while I was teaching).
Next I made one for work and today was a super exciting day because Tula Pink came to the studio and was absolutely enchanting (watch the interview below)! The whole All Stars range and her amazing tools were featured on Sewing Quarter.
if you go down to the woods...
you might see creatures like these:
Ok not likely here in Manchester but I once lived in Boulder, CO and there was lots of lovely wildlife there! Probably partly why this Monthly Woodland Sampler appeals to me so much, plus they are so very cute.
I caved already and outlined the pale 'January' with a dark brown. I'm much happier about it now.
Already I'm thinking that individually they would be so great as birthday gifts, you could stitch the birthday month of the recipient and make it into a cute little cushion or hanging.
That would require some fabric wouldn't it?! And these gorgeous ones I spotted would work so perfectly!

Recently my auntie came for a visit and gave me these copies of The Quilter magazine. I'm looking forward to putting my feet up and having a read of them when I get a chance. I will let you know if they contain any gems.
