my new sewing frame

my father-in-law made this little sewing frame for me. this one is very simple to make. i hope you can tell how from the pic. he told me he has a new & improved one in the works. this one works fine, though.

i made three teeny tiny books w/ it already. they are made using traditional binding w/ ribbons...minus the spine. all it is is the running stitch. very simple! they work up a lot faster than coptic stitch, but i think the coptic stitch is more fun to do. but...i like the look of the ribbon a lot more.

oh, i also made little slipcovers from cardstock for all of my teeny tiny books. they don't stay closed & i liked this solution better than any other i thought of. now i can decorate all the slipcovers...yeah right, right after i figure out what to fill the pages of all these books with!!!

ps...here is the direct link to all the books i've made. click here.
