I started making this fabric book for Jacob - Hayley's baby - before he was born and I have only just finished it now. Jacob is now seven months old.... I couldn't figure out a nice way to stick the pages together and then finally I thought of blanket stitching.
Some of the things in it are memories of things Hayley and I did together, others are just random.
Thinking of when I was teaching Hayley how to drive manual always makes me smile :)
Hayley (on the left) and me. She loves denim skirts.
The bee was an idea of Andras'. He drew it for me. I think it's cute.
I made a little movie with Andras when I was making this book which had a ghost in it. So I just traced around the ghost onto fabric...
Hayley and I had goldfish for a very short time. Pig and Dog. RIP.
A little NZ-ness.
A message for Jacob!
I made a bag thing too out of the blue polka dot fabric.
This is the card I made to go with it. I have always loved making cards! I think it would be great to make cards for a living. I didn't have any baby coloured fabric so I dyed some white cotton with coffee (was out of black tea....). Later András was like "you know, you can use my paints...". I didn't even think of painting paper! The nappy, hair, eyes and dummy are felt.
