Just In Case

Pamela Huntington

Wishing for just a little “case” to call your own? Imagine a delightful little (10x8x3”) travel case covered with papers, fabrics and embellished with ribbons and twill tape to hold all your special art supplies or a favorite journal, pens and inks. In this class we will learn to make fabric paper, using muslin, paper snippets and tissue paper. A handmade fabric envelope for the inside cover of the case will be made using fabric and fusible web. And we will add elastic and ribbon to hold items in place in the case. And the outside of the case will be covered with fabrics, papers and embellishments

As well as the travel case we will cover a plain journal with a vintage book cover to use to journal, draw or keep class notes.

Supply List:

• Basics Kit (scissors, ruler, etc.)
• 2-4 sheets of scrapbook paper for top and bottom of case.
• 1 to 2 yards of quilting fabric to (match or contrast) the papers. These must be 36” long. Choose a pattern you like!
