For Mother’s Day, I made these little novels for the mamas in my life who love to sew. They are little books with flannel pages for storing sewing needles and are inspired by the sweet pattern in Joelle Hoverson’s book Last Minute Patchwork and Quilted Gifts. See hers and some other pages from her book here. Hers are made from lovely plant-dyed wool felt. I didn’t have any so I improvised with plain wool felt and made a few in denim. My favorite one is the modern one…with the thread drawing on the cover. (I am so keeping that one!) Hoverson, FYI, is the owner of PURLsoho in NYC.
