Class Project: How to re-construct a used binder

Step: Sketch


Step: tear apart the existing binder, save the cardboard for this project, and others for another projects. Digging through scrap fabrics, and cut strips (any size) from them, use the "rose" method to make tons of roses (enough to cover the cover).


Step 3: Make two pattern sheets, and cut out the fabrics. Glue the cardboard to the pattern sheet. Glue the exterior fabrics to the pattern sheet. Fix all roses on top by hand sew. Glue the interior fabric to the other pattern sheet. Sew pockets onto the interior. Glue the finished exterior part and finished interior parts together. Sew around the edges. Fix the hardware. And walah. You have a brand new binder!
