Pumpkin Bookband

When I found this gorgeous fabric I just KNEW it would be made into Pumpkins! It's perfect for these lovely bookbands, to keep your page in all those cosy, autumnal reads.

The Pumpkin itself measures approximately 8x8cm, and is hand cut, and freemotion embroidered onto two layers of thick, interfaced wool felt, then finished with a coordinating elastic and a tiny Fernery label. 

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.
