you will need the following items to complete your Teapot Needlebook:
two 6-1/2" x 8-1/2" pieces of fabric for inside panels of needlebook
one 9"-12" length of 3"-3/12" wide lace for inside pockets, or
two 6-1/2" x 8-1/2" lengths of fabric for inside pockets
six 2-1/2 yard lengths of size 5 Pearle Cotton for finishing edges of needlebook pages
two 1 yard lengths of size 5 Pearle Cotton for attaching needlebook panels
one 1-1/4 yard 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 (optional)
one tassel (optional)
Ribbons**, floss and beads of your choice.
*100% cotton flannel and batting are recommended, as polyester will wick
moisture, causing pins and needles to rust.
**Approximately 1-1/2 yards of 7mm silk ribbon in various colors was used
to embellish the Teapot Silk Print in this project, with scraps of 4mm and
7mm silk ribbon used 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 spider web rose or leaf,
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/.
