Fabric books
 
When sewing together printed fabric books for babies, what do you use inside? Batting? I have a piece of printed fabric that makes a book and I don't know what to do. Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks
Debbie

I have used batting with success. My MIL once used fleece and it worked well too. I love making fabric baby books and my kids love them:)

i've used some interfacing. if using batting, i would use the fleece type, it's thinner and looks good. i also use it for quilts and it comes out great.

I love the fleece idea.

Or how about using flannelette ... thin, and still gives a nice quilty feel once quilted.

I've made a couple of fabric books & have used batting in both of them. I like how they turned out.

I usually use thin fleece - but any thin batting would work. You could also cut it into blocks and make a baby quilt. Have fun.

I used poly batting. I quilted around some of the figures of the printed fabric so they stood out. My book was a Christmas Manger Scene. Have fun making yours!

I have used thin batting. Easy to work with and gives the pages the right thickness that makes them easy for a baby to hold and turn.

I have used twill. Irons well, holds up to washing and keeps its shape
