It’s very plain on the outside just stripes of ends of yarns but opens to white cotton lace and light pink lining and maroon felt leaves.
Now I’m wondering if I should do a maroon or pink applique on the front. Is the front just too plain?
The front (outside)
The inside
I don’t think it’s too plain - but I do think that it would have a more unified effect if you did put something on the front that picked up the colours on the inside. Umm - or even used a blue inner fabric instead and knitted a stripy pink cover to put on this one!
The only thing I head was some yarn that matched the felt so I used that for the loop for the button hole it, but it doesn’t really show up.
Would a pale pink and white embroidery flower around the button be an idea using lazy daisy chains as I’ve sewn a small pink one on the white lace on the back inside page.
Oh I can spot the loop now. Do you have a red button to match instead of the dark one?
might have a moroon one to go with the felt and loop
