Fabric Dictionary

A few weeks ago I shared how to make a fabric covered binder.

And as fun as it was to make, there was a specific reason why I created this.  It is the cover of my Fabric Dictionary, that I was asked to create for a school project.

What is a Fabric Dictionary?  It is a collection of fabrics with descriptions and uses.  Mine focuses on interior fabrics, but I am sure you create one for apparel fabrics as well.

Just take a look. it is chock-full of pages, it is bursting at the seams.

Lets take a look inside...
First there is the glossary which gives descriptions of interior fabrics.

Followed by a page for individual fabrics.

Under the fabric I have a description of the sample and uses for each fabric.

Here are some other pages.

This is what has been keeping me busy. 

Next big project on deck is interpreting this painting into a fabric and mixed media piece.

I am hoping that after this,  I will finally get the basement finished.
