Day 320 - Ripped book dust jacket recovery

Dylan ripped this dust cover of one of our favourite books. I love the illustrations so I decided to change it into a framed picture using an embroidery hoop. I think it's just a little bit cute.

Day 275 - Embroidery Hoop Notice Board

I have seen some embroidery hoop notice boards around and admired them, so I decided to make one today. This is also for my mum for Christmas.

Here's how I did it.

We had these old cork mats that were in the house when we got here. I knew they would come in handy.

I glued them to the embroidery hoop.

Filled in the gaps with some old pillow stuffing.

Covered the front with fabric and the back with cardboard.

And here it is.
