RIbbon and Disney button bookmarks

The other day I came across this wonderful idea for making ribbon and button bookmarks. Sarah Jane from The Fruit Pixie had sent me some of her Disney buttons a while ago to make some projects for her. As soon as I saw the ribbon bookmark idea I knew what I was going to make with them.

 The examples of the bookmarks I found were made using plain buttons but I used the Disney buttons instead!


I also had some of the beautiful vintage glass buttons that you can also find in the button section and so used one of those to make a bookmark using a piece of embroidered ribbon I had bought many years ago in Austria.

 There wasn’t much left but just enough for a bookmark 


This is  a great project for using a special pieces of ribbon or off cuts from other projects

I think they would make great back to school gifts perhaps for the bookworm in your family.

Of course they don’t have to just be for keeping your place in your novels. They are great for your journal, favourite recipes in your cook books 
or keeping your page in a text books too.

All you need is a piece of ribbon, hairband to match your ribbon, a Disney button and a needle and thread!

You can find these buttons in The Fruit Pixie online shop here -

New tablet cover

I have been busy on the sewing machine for the first time this year. We had bought a new tablet for hubby to keep for his photography and of course it needed a cover of some sort.

   As I have lots of off cuts of fabric I decided to make a quilted sleeve for it. 


The beautiful vintage button is from The Pixie online shop and just finished it off


The buttons are from the 1960s and can be found in the shop here
