Again, I gutted a book.
This time, I didn't cut myself!!
I then measured and cut another piece of quilt badding, black fabric for the inside, 2 pieces of orange fabric for the inside and the grey piece for the spine.
Then, I hemmed up the edges so they didn't fray.
The next step was pretty easy too. I sort of quilted (not sure on the term here) the badding to the black fabric. This looked pretty cool (again, to me).
Then I sewed the orange fabric to the black, right sides together. Be sure to measure and fit before making any final stitches.
The grey fabric presented a small challenge, and I accidentally sewed one side to the wrong side of the orange. Either way you do it, sew the grey to both edges of the orange.
Now, turn it all inside out and sew a seam across the top. Make sure to get the placement correct.
Then turn it right side and put the book back in. Fold the remaining fabric inside and pin it closed.
I hand stitched the bottom, just like I assume you would to finish up a pillow. It turned out pretty cool, except I forgot to fasten it somehow. For now, it will work though. =)
