I love Japanese-inspired fabric prints, so vivacious in terms of colors and design elements. Little cherries add a fun detail on this small booklet; some are beaded. You can see my inspiration in the book’s photo.
My only modification was to braid strands of embroidery floss to form the cherry stems as opposed to sewing small fabric strips as indicated in the instructions.
The booklet pages are leaves made of sage-green wool felt.
The project was one of many lovely ideas found in Kokoro no Te: Handmade Treasures from the Heart

How lovely. I really like your braided stems.
That fabric is beautiful - I'd be too afraid to cut into it.
One of these days I'm going to dust off my mum's old sewing machine and give 'proper' sewing a go. What a scary thought, me being let lose with a sewing machine :0)
It's beautiful, June. I think that making useful things that give pleasure when we use them is a wonderful way to live.
Absolutely, unbelievably phenomenal!!!! Wow, love it!!!
What a lovely way to use a favourite scrap of fabric - for something that you'll see every time you create something.
What a delightful treasure you have crafted! I love your version!
Awesome! My daughter is going to in August.
This is a beautiful way to store your needles, June. I love both the print and the design.
Gorgeous! I'm drooling over here.
It’s absolutely adorable, June!
