Beautiful! How amazing to think of the ways this fabric may have been used throughout the years. Its story is certainly interesting. To have it finally find a home on a book that will be used to record some of life's special moments couldn't be more perfect.
Wowzers! That vintage fabric is off the charts GORGEOUS! Love how this turned out! I true treasure for sure! Your work is impeccable! Everything so perfect! Love this Pam!
I just love how you've taken this piece of antique fabric and turned it into such a beautiful project!!! Your stitched binding is fantastic (thanks for the detail pic) and the ribbon closure is perfectly matched to bring out the faded colors...
I made this journal using antique fabric from around 1920 to make the front and back covers. The colors have faded and the fabric is very soft. There are two different images on the front and the back. They are imperfectly centered because I only had a small piece of the fabric and want to get at least 1 more project out of it. The flower basket looks to be filled with ribbon roses. The back has an image of a harp. Most of the tan spots in the background are faded bits of the original design. I used Graphic 45 paper for the inside covers. The satin ribbon ties are attached under the inside covers. I used Irish linen thread and Coptic stitch to sew the signatures together. I also attached metal corners to protect covers. The finished piece feels soft and comfortable like an old friend.
Does this project or one of it's images contain pornography, profanity, or other illegal or offensive material? If so, please report it and our moderators will come by and clean it up in a flash.
