These shops didn’t always have exactly what I was looking for,

but it was great to check out anyways!

Saftler’s

Monday, February 1st, 2010

Recently I went to Saftler’s,

a wonderful sewing and fabric store in Whitman, MA.

They’ve been around since 1919,

and have a fantastic assortment of fabrics and supplies.

They even repair sewing machines!

. . .

I needed some new buttons for my books,

and boy did they have a selection.

Racks upon racks of buttons and a bin full of miscellaneous ones!

. . .

The same sign that’s probably been there since they opened.

This morning I finished up a custom order.

It’s double the size of my full-sized books

and has 100 pages.

Wahoo!

Here are some images:

She really liked the look of this one,

So I made her a larger one

with the same color thread, button, and end papers.

. . .

TGIF!

Custom Order

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

So this morning I’ve been discussing

and working on a custom order.

I think it’s an adorable idea.

. . .

She loved one of my books, but wanted to add envelopes to it.

The idea was to have friends and family write notes and stick them in the book.

. . .

Here are a few images of the finished piece!
