Marie Antoinette fabric and lace pocket book



I made this Marie Antoinette fabric and lace pocket book as I really like the image. I chose the image first and printed that out onto printable inkjet canvas and then used the colours in the picture to decorate the book. Around the image I used pretty guipure lace and for the main part of the front cover I cut up some fabric appliques and arranged them on the cover of the book and then glued them down, The large pink flower I made and used a pretty embellishment in the centre of that, I also used smaller flowers to decorate around the image. For the bottom front of the book I also used some pretty dangle lace


For the inside pages I used pretty dangle lace at the bottom edge and wide lace to make two pockets and I decorated around the edges of the pages using lace. To decorate the pockets I used two lace butterflies and added small pink ribbon roses in the centre of each butterfly. To decorate the pages I used pretty pink fabric flowers, pink bows and embellishments. Finally I added ribbon to the edge of the front and back covers to use as a closure
