| Commercial Batik Fabric Book with Daisy Runner Stitch 6"x4" |
I found two more pieces of commercial fabric in my small stash to use to cover a book. I love this floral batik fabric for the outside cover and wish I knew who manufactured it. This fabric paired well with the swirly batik fabric for the inside cover. It's probably the former textile designer in me but I couldn't add any additional stitching except to bind the signatures. I wanted to leave floral batik fabric as is so the colors and design will stand out on its own.
I am learning as I make more books to think about what type of thread and stitch to use so the book tells a story. With this batik fabric, I used Darice Hemp Cord in Turquoise using the Daisy Runner Stitch. The batik fabric and hemp cord conjured up a '60s vibe. The daisy runner stitch ties in perfectly with the floral batik fabric. I used resume paper for the signatures and tore the edges to look more handmade.
