that is by far the best baby book I've seen! My little sis would love it! Buckles are her favorite thing right now.
Excellant job!

Flash forward to 2037, when your daughter wins the Nobel Prize for Fashion Physics:

" I owe all my success to my mother's brilliant, clever, astonishing Close Your Clothes book."

A real treasure. What a lucky girl. Entire idea, poem, artwork, and all.

This is incredible and certainly worth your labors!  You should think about contacting a publisher about this, seriously.  Love it!

This is awesome. Beautifully designed and put together. I have mountains of  respect for people who pack this much effort and love into their children's gifts.

Brilliant, how did you bind the book?

thank you so much everyone!!

i bound the pages onto a rectangular piece of cloth backed by a piece of felt. i just drew straight lines on the fabric about a half-inch apart so that the thickness of each page would be accomodated, and then sewed each page to each line along the end. then i put a rectangle of cardboard, another piece of felt, and another piece of fabric on top to hide all the stitching. oh, did i mention this is all hand-stitched? not sure how you'd do it with a machine...
