Make Your Own Recipe Book

On a recent visit to my Mother's, I found this recipe book my sister had acquired for her when attending a Ladies Day at a church over in the next county.  It happened to be the church where my Mother grew up and my Grand Parents help establish many years ago.

I could think of many possibilities for this idea and many ways I could gift this little book whether it be recipes, poems, pictures.... the ideas are limitless.  I have so many scrap pieces of fabric this size or you could recycle clothing that you can't use anymore because of stains or rips.

I was super busy & my Grand Daughter Katy happened to be there so I handed her the camera and asked her to have at it and take some pictures for my blog.  I've only done a little cropping to some of these pictures.  Don't you think she did a great job?

 Here is a zippy tutorial of how I think this book is put together, enJOY!

Stack all sheets, fold in half to mark your stitch line.
Stitch one row of stitching through all sheets using longest stitch possible.  Too short and sheets will come apart.  You will have to determine how many sheets your machine/needle can go through at a time.  You could do multiple sets side by side like a real book is put together.
