I couldn't wait to get sewing some baby things for Jasper! This is a little cloth book with the letters of his name and a picture for each one. I used some fancy fabrics, including velvet, fleece, fine corduroy and gold mesh, to be eye catching and have an interesting feel. Most of the sewing is on the machine to make sure the applique is firmly attached. To be extra careful, the gold material was sewn down with a tiny back stitch over each intersection of the mesh. I added some buttons and a pom pom for the animals' features, and used embroidery for the other details The pages were sewn in back-to-back pairs, with careful planning to make sure the letters ended up with the right picture. There's a little portrait of Jasper for the back page. Hopefully he will have lots of fun looking at it.
