Baby Emily loves checking out the buttons on our shirts, so I thought I'd make her a soft book similar to one I made for Natalya when she was a baby. I chose all kinds of interesting fabrics, and sewed on buttons and beads, trying to 'hide' them in the patterns. I couldn't remember what I used inside the pages, and bought the thinnest felt-like interfacing I could find. But the book ended up considerably thicker than the first one (I had borrowed it as a sample). I probably used simple felt inside the pages last time. Oh well, I don't think Emily will care.

What a great birthday present! Emily will have so much fun finding all the buttons and beads. And you're probably right that she won't care a bit that the pages are a little thicker :o)

It will be interesting to see how long it takes her to find all the buttons and beads, and which page(s) becomes her favourite.
