In this pattern Jo shares both front and back cover patterns from her original book along with instructions to make a fabric book, whether from Dream Birds or something else entirely.
Create your own fabric book using needle-turn applique and simple embroidery embellishment. These Fabric Book instructions are also FREE with the Dream Bird Bumper Bundle of 10 patterns!
This 10 page PDF pattern contains templates and instructions to make a 7" fabric book including the front and back covers. The pattern includes full embroidery stitch guide, extensive needle-turn applique tips and instructions for raw-edge machine applique. This accompanies the Dream Bird appliqué patterns but does NOT include them, they can be purchased singly or in a range of bundles.
