Portrait Stitchbook (Cotton and mint)

A 10 page blank fabric sketchbook, ready-to-stitch, for your own design.

This is a blank fabric sketchbook that has a unique folding design that allows you to add your artwork to a pre-made book without leaving any messy workings on the backs of the pages.

Easy to sew into using hand or machine, this book makes it simple to try out  different textile art techniques and add decoration to the pages as you go along.

Each page can be removed from the binding to allow you to sew onto it using any technique, and then enclose the wrong sides within the pages, hiding all of your knots and thread tails. This makes it easy to create your own stitched journal as a keepsake, sketchbook or scrapbook.

The pages are a natural cotton which is a neutral colour which will go with any colour scheme and looks nice if left uncovered in parts. The binding strips are made from Kona cotton in a delicious crisp mint colour (also available here with blueberry bindings). Each page is secured with eyelets and ring bindings.

• 10 blank pages (5 folded sheets).
• Each book is made by hand.
• Including ring bindings the book measures approx 19cm x 15.5cm (7.5" x 6") and the sewing area for each page is 17.5cm x 13cm (7.5" x 5.25").
• The book has a vinyl title 'Stitchbook' on the front cover and 'Kim Edith' on the back. These can be incorporated into the design or covered with fabric or stitching.
• Suitable for any level of sewing experience.

There are other books in this range - the landscape linen version  is a similar size but different orientation and fabric, and there are also the mini landscape versions in cotton or linen.

• Pull the binding rings apart and remove one page.
• Open the page out.

• When finished, refold and add back onto the binding rings.
