Marbled Book Cloth Tutorial

Calling all bookbinders and marblers! Turn your marbled fabric into book cloth!

The ever-talented Ali Manning of Vintage Page Designs has created a marvelous tutorial (both video and written!) on turning cotton fabric into book cloth to use on handmade books with hard covers. This is a FANTASTIC way to use your marbled fabric to create unique, personalized books or journals.

Truth be told, I get asked frequently if marbled fabric can be turned into book cloth and my answer has always been, “I don’t know because I don’t know how to make book cloth!” Well, now I can enthusiastically say, “Yes!”

Head on over to Ali’s website for the video and instructions. And while you’re there, check out the details on her Handmade Book Club. It looks like a winner!

The Beauty and Fun of Marbling on Fabric

Wanted to share with you my new promo video that highlights the beauty, magic, and FUN of marbling on fabric.

While I haven't taught fabric marbling class in my studio (yet!), I do have a Marbling on Fabric classroom in my Clouds on Water eCourse. If you're interested in making unique fabrics that can be used for quilting, purses and handbags, clothing, and more, discover the robust, professionally shot and designed online classroom I made JUST FOR YOU!!

Speaking of Green...

My awesome partner in crime, Jeanie Joe, just dropped off this beauty as we begin another round of clutches, purses, and pouches using my marbled fabrics and her creative sewing skills. This one is called "The Lizzie" and will be available in my shop soon.
