Another Good Idea

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.

    This 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!
