While I was excited to embark upon this Michigan adventure, I was also terribly sad to leave my Schott Design family. We are a close-knit crew, and I wanted to come up with a special way to thank them all for being so fantastic. While perusing a book full of handmade projects from my mom, I found a neato idea that I could put my own twist on and customize for each individual. I bought Moleskine notebooks (I picked the craft paper ones because I liked how they let the fabric be the star of the show), took scraps of modern and vintage fabrics, fused them to interfacing, then sewed them to the notebook covers in various layouts. Each notebook gained its own personality as I went and it was so fun to see them take shape. I then sewed a label onto each one, wrapped them in twine and attached a card addressed to the recipient to the top. You could do this with lots of different notebook colors and sizes...the possibilities are endless! If you'd like more detail on the how-to part, just let me know - it's easy! :)
