Well, okay, not an X but a bookmark. This post over on Whipup inspired me to do some bookmarks of my own. I think this is a perfect way to use up fabric scraps and all those lone single buttons that are sitting around with nothing better to do. I used a paper bookmark as a template and cut two pieces of fabric for each one with one piece of interfacing slightly smaller. I sewed the three together, right sides of the fabric facing out, and then pinked around the edges. I stuck a piece of ribbon in a few and attatched it after on a third, sewing buttons on all of them. The button acts as a stop to keep the bookmark from slipping down into the pages of the book. Gabby wants you to know she approves. A bookmark is currently her favorite toy and she will follow me upstairs at bedtime for a few minutes of play before I'm allowed to read by book. Speaking of books, I kept forgetting to update my reading lists in the sidebar so I took them down. You can find my reading list over on Goodreads now.
