Firsts

Made a notebook cover for my dear friend W, whose b-day was in January.  She was very gracious about the crude rustic nature of the finished product, but it was a great learning exercise for me.  New-to-me sewing machine, first time using leather, and first time embroidery with coton a broder thread.  Baby steps.

The monogram came from Broderie d´Antan.

  1. It looks lovely, I'm sure your friend was very pleased with it. I always think a hand made gift shoes more love and thought than a shop bought one.
