Chenille Denim Slipcover for a Book - 365 Creative Challenge 2013

the last couple of mixed media collage pages from my altered book for june, image courtesy of thegraphicsfairy, & a slipcover made from the legs of old denim jeans courtesy of simonne.

i stitched five layers of fabric, diagonally, cut through four layers. i was just experimenting with this cut technique,  any way not wanting to waste it i  repeated this then joined the two pieces together as it was about the right size for a book cover........  then put two pieces of scrap furnishing fabric on each end to fold to the inside for the book ends to slip into, then tried the cover on the book for size.

i left all the edges raw,,,,,,just stitched around the cover with the end bits folded into place & added another row of stitching for a firm fit. gave it a wash & dried it in the dryer to fluff the cut edges.
