My husband and I are expecting a little boy in a couple of weeks and I am so excited to make him this book for when he is older. I would love to have a tutorial if you are considering making one.Meaganhttp://meagansmakings.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777199487474725966.post-63685658347673480402010-04-26T11:39:13.074-07:002010-04-26T11:39:13.074-07:00Chelsea, I just found your cute blog....i love thi...Chelsea, I just found your cute blog....i love this book.

I am not a pro at these by any means but this is what I did and it seemed to work :)<br /><br />Each page is 2 sheets of muslin (front & back) I stitched felt/ ribbon etc..directly on the muslin. In between the two pages are two thin sheets of flat batting to give it some fluff<br />I also added the same amount to the front and back covers <br />My muslin to begin with measured 8 X 11 however after sewing together it now measures about an inch less (7 X 10) So its a good small size- you can always adjust your size to how you want it though. My other Quiet book is 11X11!<br />(oh and wanna know a secret.. my "batting" is actually a cotton Christmas tree skirt that I found on sale for $1 at Joannes- its fluffy and thin and worked perfect in between my pages)<br />Thanks again, let me know if you have any other questionsChelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01026389530547984777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777199487474725966.post-29454316203803012002010-04-22T19:54:07.269-07:002010-04-22T19:54:07.269-07:00SO so so cute!SO so so cute!Cassiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02600727879486548074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777199487474725966.post-76306596812146180052010-04-22T17:28:20.473-07:002010-04-22T17:28:20.473-07:00I love this project!

Can you tell us the dimensions of the book? Is each page a double layer of felt? And last question - did you add anything to the front and back covers to make them thicker/harder? Thanks!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04198835532378242783noreply@blogger.com
