My sweet GD (pic below) will be 1 yr old in October, and I would like to make her a 'fabric book' - you know the kind: A is for Apple, B is for Ball, etc. The catch here is that my DD/SIL are bilingual (English/Spanish) and speak to her both languages. So I want to add Spanish words: A is for apple/arbos (tree) So I would have to do 2 pictures on each page! I know I have seen kits for making these books, but have you seen any in Spanish?

What kind of fabric is used for the pages, cause I know it will go in her mouth! I don't do applique very well, so want to limit that application if possible. (See why I am thinking on starting this NOW?) My DD/SIL will be able to help me with the translations, at least
:thumbup:

Thanking you in advance for your great ideas!

I have seen fabric at JoAnn's which is made especially for sewing into a book. It is 100% cotton. Maybe you could get that, then embroider the spanish words on the page. Just a thought.

CoriAmD beat me to it! I think I would purchase an English book, then embroider the spanish word too. Do you, or one of your friends have an embroidery machine? If not, it sounds like a good excuse to get one!!

oh.. I saw a panel in Spanish once, and I've been kicking myself for not buying it. My DD is growing up bilingual too. (English/Spanish) and my grandmother is teaching my DD Italian.

Let me see if I can find that book panel for you

Our children's room at the library has books in Spanish. I'm sure it would have an alphabet book for ideas.

This is not what I was thinking of:

I was going to suggest the colors in three languages panel.

It features Yellow, Black, Brown, Orange, Red, Gray, Green, Purple, Pink, and Blue colors

and in each frame it has 7 or 8 different objects with what it/they are called in three languages.

If you are interested in the one I have, I'm asking $5.50 for it plus $2.50 shipping to USA addresses.

Thanx, but just seems too 'advanced' for a 1 year old.
