I love making felt using the traditional wet-felting technique, and adding other fibres and fabrics in the process to create a unique piece of fabric each time. Each piece takes about an hour (and lots of elbow-grease!) to felt. Once dry, it can be trimmed, stitched and decorated with beads, buttons and cords before being made up as a cover. A single book cover can take the best part of a day to complete, and each one is a unique piece of usable art.

Full description
This original journal or notebook cover has been hand-crafted and sewn, starting with a base fabric of handmade felt, made using merino wool, silk and other fibres. The finished felt piece was then stitched into and decorated before being made up into a book cover.
The long, handmade, wraparound cord is attached to the back cover and it fastens simply by wrapping around the pretty pale jade green ceramic button on the front. The cord has been finished with a pretty vintage-style bead and a tasselled end.
The cover is softly padded, lined with hand-dyed cotton fabric and oversewn several times around the edges. A length of pink grosgrain ribbon has been stitched along the spine and a narrow satin ribbon forms an attached bookmark.
It comes complete with an A5 casebound sketchbook from Seawhite of Brighton, with 46 sheets (92 pages) of 140gsm acid-free cartridge paper. Their books are made in Britain using British paper and are renowned for their excellent quality.
The sketchbook can be substituted with an A5 hardback lined notebook on request - just add a note to your order.
The cover measures approx 6.25 x 9 inches (16.5 x 23 cm) closed, 13 x 9 inches (33 x 23 cm) opened flat, and will take a book or diary up to 8.5 (21.5 cm) long and 12.5 inches (32 cm) from front edge to back edge.
Shipping by Royal Mail 1st Class Signed-For (UK) or International Tracked.
