Free to Good Home - Mini Soft Fabric Colors Book



While making some new Mini Soft Fabric Books for my Etsy Shop I made an "oops". While trimming a thread, I accidentally cut into the blue page of an almost done mini colors book. While it wouldn't have been impossible to take the book apart and replace the blue page with a new one, it would have been a lot more work and headache than to just make a new book from scratch. I decided I didn't want to remake the whole book.
The same page also got a snag on the fabric somewhere alone the way that left a tiny pin point hole when trimmed up.
I did sew the approximately 1/4 inch cut closed by hand, but didn't do anything to the snag hole - the needle would leave more holes than the original snag, so it seemed silly to stitch it. This photo points out the flaws:


The little fabric colors book isn't up to my standards enough to sell in my shop. The rest of the book is in great shape, and I hope someone out there will be interested in having it, even if it has a little 'oops' factor. I'm offering it to the first person to request it. I'll pay shipping - even international. I don't recommend anyone leaving personal information, like an address, in the comments section here, so I ask that you send your request to me privately by clicking "contact this seller" in my Karabu Patchwork Creations Etsy Shop.
Hopefully this little book can find a loving home.
My kids (who normally get my 'oops' projects) already have a mini fabric colors book. I haven't done a giveaway for awhile now, so I think my mistake was really a reminder that it's time to have one!

I'm sorry - it's already been claimed. I suppose I should have posted a comment when it went. Sorry again!
