Liberty Haberdashery print Coffee Cup Bookband

A gorgeous coffee cup design using this fabulous haberdashery themed liberty print fabric. I've picked out some of the prettiest shades in this print and added a heart and polkadots, because that makes everything better, right? 

Hand cut and pieced from my own original drawings, freehand machine appliqued onto two layers of thick, stiffened wool felt, and then attached to a length of wide, colour matched elastic - the perfect size for a regular novel or 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.
