This project was created by Ryoko Sakuyama, Educational Coordinator, Janome Tokyo. Click on the thumbnails below for tips on how to recreate this fall sewing-themed fabric scrapbooking project. Base fabric Add texture to the fabric base with decorative stitching. Here the width of the decorative stitches was shortened to 5 mm (3/16”). Use thread that is the same color or similar to the color of the base fabric. Use less-elaborate stitches to avoid drawing attention away from the photo and the accessories. Use thicker ric rac for the photo frame and thinner ric rac to add texture to the base fabric. Clothes, bag and hat Make patterns for clothes, bag and hat: Start with regular-sized patterns. Use a copier to reduce size of each to 10%. Piece together following pattern directions. Skirt Add embroidery along hem of skirt. Here #12 from the Border collection (1003) was used. Sew full-sized embroidery design onto fabric before piecing together. Round and square frames Digitizer was used to create the designs for the miniature frames. In the Edit screen, reduce the size of the design to 80%. Sew out designs on fabric. Cut fabric to fit miniature hoop or frame and mount. Here designs from Quilt collection (#1004) were used. Turtleneck Add realistic details to the turtle neck by cover stitching the hem. Here the Cover Pro 1000CP cover stitching machine was used.
