sweet little present for Mother's day

Are you still looking for a cute sewing project for Mother's day? It is not fast but it is such a fun project. Most of time is spent finding all the cute fabrics for the cover! I actually made this cute booklet for my mom for her birthday, it was lost for a couple weeks in Chicago but eventually made it. (the mail from DC to France goes through Chicago....!) I used a lot of prints from Ayumi of Pink Penguin (you can see her entire collection here)

It is only my second time using these prints, I previously made some gift card holder. But this time I fuzzy cut many prints to get all these sweet pictures: strawberries, sugar cube, tea pot, blueberries, apple pie, all the good stuff! I followed this tutorial from Fabric Mutt, it is pretty easy, the pocket is slightly challenging because it is small, but it adds to the cuteness factor.

I kept some of the outside sweetness inside with the cherry print and some more print from Ayumi collection. I also used this coquelicots (poppy)/butterfly print,  it has cool wording and great image. Below the pocket, there are large read poppy, very pretty.

I added a homemade booklet (from scrapbooking paper) with more butterflies on the cover. Happy sewing!
