\"Simple<\/a>
Simple Gift Wrap<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I didn’t do any massive gift making, but it turns out that I did make a fair number of gifts. I wanted to test the journal cover tutorial<\/a> and use the fabulous bas relief fabric I talked about a few weeks ago<\/a> for someone who would enjoy and appreciate it. My pile of gifts for Friend Julie<\/a> looked a bit pathetic, so I rushed out and bought a journal and made her the journal cover with this fabric.<\/p>\n

I had a fat quarter of the fabric and I wanted a journal that would show off as much of it as possible. Flax had a huge pile of black sketchbooks on sale, so I rummaged through them and finally came up with a\u00a0 10×10″ size. I thought it would be a useful size and show off the fabric nicely.<\/p>\n

It turned out to be a bit too big for the fabric, because, of course, of the requirement that book has to open. As a result the pockets for the covers are a bit small – only about 2.5″, but I hope they will stay on when she is drawing.<\/p>\n

I had some trouble with the measurements. This is a different journal than the Miquelrius journal and I needed different measurements, so I adjusted the instructions in the tutorial and have, hopefully, made it more clear for future.<\/p>\n

I think I centered the fabric nicely and it is shown off well. I thought of a lot of different ways of wrapping it and ended up with just a ribbon. I salvaged the ribbon from somewhere, but pressed it and it is of nice quality, so it looked nice.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, the gift will spur on a plethora of creativity at Julie’s house.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
