you will need the following items to complete your Pansy Fan Needlebook:
two 5-1/2" x 10" pieces of fabric for inside panels of needlebook
one 24" length of 2-1/2" wide lace for inside pockets, or
two 5-1/2" x 10" lengths of fabric for inside pockets
four 60" lengths of size 5 Pearle Cotton for finishing edges of needlebook pages
one 36" length of piping, braid or lace for outside edge of needlebook
small amount of braid or an elastic ponytail holder***
or material of your choice for button loop
shank button
one tassel (optional)
Ribbons**, floss and beads of your choice.
**Approximately 5 yards of 7mm silk ribbon in various colors was used to embellish the Pansy Fan silk print in this project, with approximately 2 yards of 4mm silk ribbon for leaves. Note that variations in ribbon add to the appeal of the embellishment. This is a great opportunity to use up scraps from your "ribbon compost bin." Making a petal, for example, from two slightly different shades of plain ribbon, gives the illusion of hand dyed ribbon having been used.
***I learned about using an elastic ponytail holder from Marie Alton, who designed a chatelaine pattern that I made. To learn more about Marie's work and her Chatelaine pattern, please visit her website at http://sredeluxe.tripod.com/.
