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
Oh my goodness - how pretty is this beautiful lacy notebook! I agree, the image is fabulous and the lace you have used is stunning! The inside is as beautiful as the outside! Your choice of embellishments are perfect - such a romantic project! xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Carole for your lovely comment. I used to work a lot with fabric and lace back then. I do like to use lace when I can as I think it adds a soft and pretty look to the finished project
