1,Buy the fabric skinny cloth,choose a design you want.We don't sugguest to wash the fabric sheet;
2,Cut the cover and internal pages into the strips pictured below.
The bottom strip is the OPTIONAL bookmark/hanger.You can leave this out if you want.
3,Fold & pin the spreads in half so the printed parts face each other.
If you are making a bookmark/hanger, make it before you fold the cover in half. Fold the edges of the bookmark in and then fold in half and sew.
4,Fold and pin the cover.
OPTIONAL: Add padding and plastic if you want. I cut my padding from a cheap blanket, and added a piece of clear plastic because our kids loves the crinkly sound it makes.
5,Sew around each folded page spread.
Mark your starting and end sewing points leaving a big opening so you can turn the page the right way around afterwards. I do this otherwise I forget about the opening and sew the whole thing shut.
6,Trim the corners.
This will help make the corners less fat when you turn the pages around.
7,Turn your pages the right way around.
This is the fun part where you start to see your book come together! Iron each page again, being CAREFUL if you have plastic in your cover.
8,Sew around your pages again.
Sew as close to the edge as possible to close the openings.
9,Assemble and sew spine.
Put your pages together on top of each other in the order pictured below and sew one or two lines down the centre to create a “spine” and complete your book.
The soft cloth baby book is well finished!
