Hanging Book Display – a diy project for my fabric

I have been holding on to this fabric for almost ten years. It is just a tiny remnant, but I think that it is so cute. And I don’t even really like dogs. I don’t hate them, dog lovers. But you know what I mean.

I knew that I wanted to somehow try to use it in my nursery and included in as part of my original nursery inspiration. I finally decided that maybe the answer was a large pillow for my newly reupholstered chair. But I am not sure that the design would highlight the three different street scenes. They are more horizontal and are better suited for something long and skinny.

Then I saw this great Hanging Book Display thanks to ohdeedoh.

Perfect! Maybe I can have three little hanging displays to show each of the three characters. I’m pretty certain that my final piece(s) won’t be this wide. But I am excited about finally having an excuse to break out the sewing machine.
