So not only did I buy the NOOK but my friend Esther did too. I decided since I was making myself a cover I would be the good friend and make her one too.
So...off to Joann's we went and purchased some fabric together. Yes, I purchased more fabric for myself. You know what a hoarder I am!! Besides, I have to keep things FRESH don't you know? LOL
A little note about my friend Esther, she LOVES Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) things. So when we saw the below fabric in Joann's we knew it was the one for her. I have to admit, it is growing on me. The bright colors are FAB!!
See what I mean?
Here is a close up shot of the outside...
I tried my hand at stitching straight lines across the front of the cover to give it some texture and to also hold the cotton batting in place within the cover.
But you know what I forgot to do? Sew my hair band in between the two pieces of fabric. DUH!! This is why I have ribbon the ribbon. See what I mean...
And one more peek inside...
If I were to do ribbon again, I would run it in between the fabric so that you didn't see it, but then again, maybe I will remember to sew the hair band in and add the button instead. LOL
So there you have it. Another one of my Nook cover creations. Wait til you see the next one that I have in the works. Whoa Nelly! It is going to be cute! YIPPEEE!!
Alrighty then, I am off like a prom dress. I am going to try and dig my stamp desk out before I go to bed tonight. I feel like stamping. LOVE THAT FEELING!!
See you all later! Thanks for stopping by!
I haven't stopped by in quite a while. Your covers look great, ribbon and button :) I think you did a great job and I'm sure you're mom is like mine, just happy to see that I made use of the sewing machine.
