Fabrics and Sewing
Like the look of a handsewn scrapbooking page, or fabric, canvas, lace, etc
sewn on by machine?
Here is an example of a handsewn layout, complete with how to's and a project
list.
Machine sewn layout also below...
"Let Freedom Ring"
On this page, we simply cut the striped paper into an L
shape and adhered to textured white paper. We then framed a black and
white photo, adhered to page and finished the corners with pewter brads.
We added the tag.
The tag was made by cutting brick red colored cardstock into the tag shape using
a paper trimmer. We then cut a small square of a patterned paper to go
between the eyelet and paper. We then added the eyelet. Added mesh for
interest. Added a small "de-fined" sticker and some star
buttons. Adhered all with glue dots. We stamped the date in the bottom
corner and added a ribbon.
The "Let Freedom Ring" was added using Wordsworth alphabet stamps.
Here are some similar alphabet rubber stamps by Technique Tuesday:
Technique Tuesday Clear Stamps - Farmhouse Lowercase Letters - Large - $ 19.99
Our Farmhouse alphabet stamps evoke feelings of relaxed and carefree summer days, doodling in a hammock, or taking in the view from the wraparound porch. Sketchy, yet classy, these letters will work beautifully on distressed and modern pages, as well as on puddle-jumping, bug-gathering, children-focused layouts. The combination of comfort and style is irresistible.

Ok!, Now to the bottom photo embellishment. We found
this canvas thick ribbon and adhered it around the photo for a frame. We
then added a small X stitch to each corner. Very easy and finishes off the
frame nicely.
Here is another example of a sewing technique for your scrapbooking project.

You can also use 'no-sew' fabric on your pages. Making Memories now makes
self sticking fabric and leather tags, frames, and pockets. You can always
stitch lace or ribbon on if you feel the need. Here are some great fabric
and leather items designed specifically for your scrapbooking needs.
