It took me a few years but I finally made good my promise to my daughter. I sat down this morning and made her the bible cover she wanted :-)
I know I have been sitting on this for too long... 5? 6 years? Perhaps even more? I guess the idea of trying to make something to fit was just far too daunting during the busy schooldays. But since it's now the long school break, I have no excuses. LOL!
So, after breakfast, I told myself it was today or never! I decided to use the set of purple themed fabrics left over from the quilt I was sewing last month. After some "agak-agak" calculations, I said a prayer and... the rest is history :-)
This lovely huge silver vintage button was not what I picked for the bible cover. I had actually sewn up a smaller, off-white flower-shaped button which I thought matched the white polka dots perfectly (but which my daughter thought otherwise!) so that's how we ended with this one.
I must say I'm really pleased with the overall effect - and come to think of it, the task wasn't too bad. I actually enjoyed the challenge. Who knows... I might just do a bible cover for myself next ;P Thanks for dropping by, folks.

Your works are always such a pleasure to see. Love your Shabby Chic bags and the Bible cover very much.
You asked me about the stand, I which used to display the pincushions, it's a candle holder.
Have a nice week, hugs,
Olga
