For my nephew's 2nd Birthday, I made him a quiet book. Basically it is a fabric activity book for kids. My Grandma Palmer made one for me when I was a kid and I really wanted to try my hand at it. I have just started sewing so this project was a lot of trial and error. It was also took a lot of time.
Here is the cover. I made 4 different covers before I just settled for this one. It just was not working how I had envisioned it. It's made of felt and fabric paint.
This is the first page. An apple tree. The background is fabric with the tree, basket and apples being felt. I sewed the tree onto the fabric and then hand-sewed the apples, using cotton balls as stuffing. I attached Velcro to the apples and the tree.
Page 2 is my favorite. The barn! The barn is made of felt with bias tape as the white part. The animals are also made of felt.
Page 3 is the color page. The balloons are made of felt and I hand-stitched the lettering.
Page 4 is to show him how to tie a shoe. The shoe is made of felt, with grommets put in and a regular shoelace.
Page 5 I just drew numbers and then stitched on the number of buttons per number. I did this on a road trip!
The last page is a road page made of felt. There is a garage where 2 cars fit and a large stop sign.
