Mini Memo

Closeup

I am slower than molasses, but I finally finished a few of my mini memo books. First things first: behold my favorite turquoise button.

Two views in one

Its a fabric wrapper with a snap closure, flat pockets for your important tidbits of paper, and a decorative button. The notebook is made from thrift-store paper with end papers from my paper stash. The paper is sewn to a boxboard backing which inserts into the wrapper. When it is used up, you can take it out and put in a new one. Or you can just pull it out if you want to check what kind of cereal and crackers we eat around here.

Buttons

More buttons, waiting to turn into new projects. I hope they are very patient.

    So cute! And functional! Could you slip a small Moleskin in it? Love the buttons too.

    OMG! Wow! I love the fabric! I first thought it was a wallet because I’ve been looking for a new one… Nice work! I really need to start sewing again!
