The cover of this book was from a needle case kit supplied by #thelittlesewingmouse at one of our local craft meetings. I didn't need another needle case, so made the cover and filled it with my experimental mulberry paper embroideries, aiming to keep mostly to the blue theme dictated by the cover.
I used a double thickness of the mulberry paper and was surprised at how the feel was very like working with fabric, with even very small stitches being achievable.
