My friend Judith approached my booth one day with a book in her hand. This was a special book that had been in her family for several generations, and she wondered if I could make a cover to protect it. I took measurements of the book and got a feel for the type of fabric she would like. When I got home, I made a book jacket from a durable fabric from my stash, along with several others in a similar size. She purchased the one made from the fabric that I had picked out for her, and I had another delighted customer. Over the next couple of weeks, I made more book jackets in three sizes: paperback, medium and large. These last two are to fit the two most common sizes of Bibles. Some have pockets, buttons and/or handles added. All have attached ribbon bookmarks. I also do custom orders for books of unusual size and custom fitting for jackets that need a more snug fit. www.bahandbags.etsy.com shows some of my items for sale.
Hey Barbara,
ReplyDeleteThis is so wonderful. Your handmade crafts are great! Good luck at the dog show. I have a feeling that this is going to be another great thing!
