A smile is the beginning of peace

Hi beautiful

Easter is upon us. This quote from Mother Teresa, "A smile is the beginning of peace" is apt at this time. What better place to display it but on an iPad cover!

Front of cover

The cover was fun to make with lots of machine stitching! The top layer is a random collage of fabric pieces arranged over a middle layer of wadding and a bottom layer (lining) of two hankies. The result is a thick and firm piece.

Back of cover

Pieces of tea dyed cotton, each stamped with a quote were hand stitched on the front,  reverse of front flap and on the back. The back piece is a pocket.

Front flap open showing Velcro closure

The hankie lining is visible in the photo above and below. The hankies were a similar size and colourful. The border of the blue one worked very well indeed.

Inside cover

So there you have it. A functional item made from leftover pieces of fabric and old hankies.

I love it when something "old" or recycled is used.

Peace to you and yours.

Love Cara
