Fabric Art Journals by Pam Sussman

January 27th, 2006

I got this book from Clive & Gill for Christmas, and it is full of glorious eye candy. I’m not sure I will ever use it to make fabric books but it does make everything look pretty easy - I’m not so sure it is tho’. Despite having Jenny’s sewing machine and the little diddy one I bought a while back I have a real fear of the thing running away with itself and sewing through my fingers.

The book covers the basics of making a fabric journal and goes on to embellishing it. There are simple, intermediate and advanced bindings in the Projects part of the book and a really scrummy Gallery tops it all off. It is particularly useful that the book has a Templates section.
