Pattern: Baby's Soft Book of Colors

Front cover. I thought about doing my little's name here, but decided to just make it generic girl. That way, if there are more, I don't feel obligated to make one of these for each of them if I don't want to!

So I started this cute little book for Miss E, intending to give it to her for Christmas. And then she went and started learning her colors on me, so I pushed it way up, and she is currently loving it! There are a couple of other blogs that have used this same tutorial. I added one extra set of pages so that I could do more colors, and omitted the ribbon closure. Miss E has a quiet book that has a velcro closure, and while I love that it closes the book up tight, she hates it!

 

The pattern really is simple, all you do is sew straight lines! I loved it because it ate up some of those awkward scraps I had! I also made sure to put lots of different textures in, just for fun! You can use piece of fabric however big you want, if you only want three pieces per color, that's fine! If you want to do 20, go for it! It's totally up to you!
Other than the minor adjustments mentioned above, I really didn't do anything else.

On the Blue-green, if yours will be next to each other, I recommend doing a definite piece of each color on what will be the seam line between the two, so they don't 'blend' together. Otherwise that distinction can be hard for little eyes to make out!

As with most things, I'm a little bit more OCD than you probably suspect, so of course mine is in color order! Go bust out your scraps though and make one of these for your little cutie!
