This one is for a friends 60th birthday...she loved oriental things...hmm her bday is not till October but she may get it sooner...dont know if i can wait that long....bad right...

ok coordinating Oriental prints....i have a large stack of orientals....didnt buy a thing for this one...went shopping in my stash...three differnt threads to buttonhole stitch the edge....what else..oh used a heavy buttonhole twist/upholstery thread to sew this one together. It was black...perfect color right?

I tied charms on the ends of the black organdy ribbon in the well i don tknow what you would call it...tassel on the spine? a sewing machine...she needs a new one....then maybe she would liek to sew! and a leg malagra....she has bad arthritis so maybe this will help her...i need to add a hand one but all i had was a leg malagra.

Two of the paper beads tied on the tie...and a medallion that looked oriental to me for a button to tie the whole thing shut!

These soft spine books are great. I enjoy recycling old books so I have a really firm cover, but my love of fabric and color may lead me into the soft spine world at least just to try it!
