Who said fabric is only for quilts? Whip up your own little fabric album using Kim's instructions:

1. Print 10 pictures 2x3" on iron-on transfer paper
2. Iron onto cream colored fabric (following transfer directions)
and cut around pictures
3. Cut 12 pieces of fabric 5x7"
4. Attach the pictures to 10 of the fabric pieces using a blanket
stitch around the photo
5. Embellish each page with buttons, felt accents, ribbon, or
vinyl shapes
6. Sew a circle and title to a piece of fabric as the cover of the
album
7. Sew a message to a piece of fabric and glue on felt
embellishment as this will be the back cover of the album
8. Put a piece of quilt batting between each page of the album
9. Surge around edges of fabric to bind pages together
10. Use grommets and binder ring to keep album together
11. Tie ribbon around binder ring


Isn't this little fabric album that Kim made of her son to die for?? I just love it. And since it's soft and squishy, it's perfect for little hands to touch and play with...not like all of our paper projects, right? Since she used iron-on's for her photos, there's no worrying about fingerprints or bending the photos...totally kid-friendly. So so awesome, Kim! I can't wait to make one of my own!
