Remember back in the old days before we all read e-books on our Kindle or tablet? Most of us used to ready the old fashioned way when books were printed on real paper. Although I have lots and lots of books saved on my Kindle app on my iPhone and iPad, I’ve recently become nostalgic and want the feel of holding a book in my hands. So the last several books I’ve read have been “books”.
Last night as I was lying in bed (reading my book) I remembered that I used to have several book covers that I had made. So I got up, opened a drawer on my nightstand and low and behold, there is a book cover I made quite a while ago.
The only problem is it’s for a traditional paperback size book and what I”m reading right now is the larger size paperback. So what’s a gal to do? First I laid there pondering my dilemma, but finally I went back to reading and decided to deal with my problem in the morning. You see I’m going on vacation soon and I certainly don’t want to be seen with a naked book on the plane.
So after having my coffee this morning I headed into my sewing room. What should I do? I finally decided to keep it simple. So I measured my book, found some left over 2 1/2” strips and started creating. Success!!!!! I now have just the right size book cover.
And finally, the book I’m currently reading.
This was a fun, quick and easy project but it’s nice to have accomplished something bright and early on a Saturday morning.
Thank goodness it’s a fairly long book so hopefully I won’t finish it before I leave on vacation.
Enjoy,
