Notebook

The first itme I read how to make little note books was reading a lovely blog named Make, Do and Send.I was really surprised at how hers came out, so pretty… really. And so I wanted to try and make one my self. I got some scrapbook paper and some white sheets and sewed everything together by hand. I did try using my sewing machine, but it was too hard and i didn´t want to force it.

Anyway this is the result, i´m pretty happy with it! my next two where for my sons, they loved them! perfect for writing a story of their own!

You can find the tutorial here

ps: In case you are curious the print  on the back is from a spanish painter  named Sorolla.This is one of my favourites! The original one is as big as a wall..or even bigger!

La primera vez que leí cómo hacer libretas fue leyendo un blog que se llama Make , do and send. Estaba sorprendida por lo bonitas que habían quedado sus libretas y quise intentar hacer unas.

utilicé cartulina rosa con flores para las tapas y hojas de papel. Lo corté todo al mismo tamaño y lo cosí luego a mano. No me atreví a utilizar la máquina de coser porque puse mucho papel y no era cuestión de forzarla.

Bueno, éste es el resultado! Las dos siguientes fueron para mis hijos; les encantaron!perfectas para escribir un cuento propio!El tutorial lo podéis encontrar aquí.

PD: Por si os entra la curiosidad, la pintura de detrás es una reproducción de un cuadro del pintor español Sorolla. Es uno de mis favoritos. El cuadro original es tan grande como una pared!
