Nook Covers Part 2

Happy Wednesday! I posted about my Nook Covers a few weeks ago HERE. I received quite a few emails and questions about the pattern and if I had a tutorial. Answer... I don't because I actually purchased one on Etsy. I was going to make my own but I figured for $6 I would save myself some time :) The Etsy shop is called Birdiful Stitches. I love the pattern; it was really easy to follow, quick to sew and she even says you can resell them.

So, I made my third one last night; this time for my mom. I used my Silhouette with the iron-on interfacing and cut the bird out of fabric. Then I sewed it to the front cover before piecing the whole thing together. I found a picture of a bird on a branch that I liked from google images. Then I used the trace feature. Read my "How to Trace Tutorial" HERE.


I added an extra leaf and of course my Taylor Made Label to the back.

I love a good easy project that only takes a few hours but feels like you really accomplished something!

In other exciting news, my birthday was last weekend and look what my husband got me...

A Canon Speedlite Flash, and I'm DYING over it!!! Along with some other things my sister got me the PhotoScoop and my mom got me a series of three Photoshop classes! My pictures better be a semi-professional really soon :)

Love to hear what you think!
