These gorgeous bookbands have been on my mind since I made my Emma Bridgewater Mug Fairies back in August 2021. Each mug design is done as a hand cut , freemotion embroidered applique. I can also make this design with an embroidered name on it, if you'd like to personalise your bookband.
If you would like either the hearts, stars or polkadots in different colours just drop me a message to arrange this. I've listed a few options which I've not yet made samples of, but as soon as I can, I'll pop photos up - please feel free to order in the meantime if you'd like to.
The mug measures approximately 7 x 7cm including the handle. Placement of the design may very slightly, as the appliques are hand pieced individually. Your book will be unmistakably yours with a personalised bookband keeping it safe. Hand cut and freemotion embroidered onto two layers of thick, interfaced wool felt. The sizing is perfect for a regular novel or an A5 diary.
These bookbands were made out of necessity, as I am someone who regularly thinks I can manage a few pages of my book before I fall asleep, and this more often than not ends up with my husband peeling my book off my face an hour later... I got tired of losing my page, so something had to be done! The band stretches perfectly around most books, so even if you're reading a big fat hardback it will keep your place for you. These are also perfect if you use a paper diary or planner.
