Sew a Child's Fabric Shapes Book

Directions for the Pages

Debbie Colgrove, Licensed to About.com

• Cut 6 pieces of the book body fabric 8 1/2" by 11"
• Cut 3 pieces of batting 8 1/2" by 11"
• Prepare the appliqués from the book page templates as you did to make the book cover appliqués.
• Design each page and finish the appliqués as you did for the cover.
• Baste a piece of batting to the wrong side of every other page piece. (Two page pieces will make one page and you only want one piece of batting inside each page.)
• Place two pages right sides together, stitch 3 sides of the page together. Trim excess seam allowance and batting. Make diagonal trims at the corners.
• Turn right side out and press.
• Zig zag along the raw edge just to hold the page together and condense the edge.
• Repeat for all of the pages.
