As soon as I saw the Maya Road dressform chipboard book, I knew I had to make something fun with it. I've finished three pages, both sides, and I thought I'd show you how it's coming along. I covered each with paper, mostly scraps, sanded the edges and inked with Vintage Photo Distress Inks. I used lots of Tim Holtz products, various sewing related stamps, old buttons, mini chipboard pieces, K&CO butterfly, my own pearl swirls (see former post), and an old watch face we found among my MIL's things. I'm very happy so far with how they are coming out. There are 3 more inside pages and the front and back cover (that's 10 more sides to do!!Yikes!) but I am taking my time and trying to make them really special. I have loved sewing all my life and have made clothing, quilts, dolls, curtains etc over the years. It's still my first love. Enjoy!
