[@twinsgran]

At last! I started making a fabric book for a lady with dementia that includes lots of sewing related bits and bobs as she used to be a great seamstress. I made all the pages but have been stuck on how to actually out it together with a nice spine. You are my saviour. Thank you x

[@bonniebird4487]

Oh, my, goodness!!! Not only is your tutorial easy to follow, (you have a very soothing voice!), but your work is just amazing!!! I plan to make a fabric book, but not real sure about the infrastructure, but I want it sturdy enough to support the weight of the pages with all the laces, etc. I am so glad that I found your videos... I sure hope there are more to check out! TY for sharing your wonderful talent!!

[@Pamperdpetals]

Hello Bonnie and welcome to my channel. I'm so happy that you enjoyed the tutorial and best of luck with your book, I'm sure it will be beautiful. Hugs, Lequetta

Wow this was a great help to me .I love your work your so talented x

[@ellendematos1363]

Hello Lovely, what an incredible gift you have! When making these do you always use fabric printed images? Wondering if real photos will work? Thank you!

[@Pamperdpetals]

Hello Ellen, thank you for your kind comments and for watching! I have never used real photos but I don't see why that would not work. I think if you back the photos with a card stock or light cardboard to give it some stability so it would not bend, I think it would work. Its a great idea. Take care, xo

[@00001965st]

Beautiful,, just found your channel,,, I subbed,, you do awesome work

[@Pamperdpetals]

Thank you so much for subscribing and for your kind comment! 💕

[@judytwitty4427]

Love the tutorial! have been wanting to make a fabric book for eons. A question: Is there a reason that you use glue to put your pages and spine together? Could they be sewn? Or would it add more bulk? Just wondering............Thanks!

[@Pamperdpetals]

Judy Twitty Hi Judy, I think sewing all of the layers of pages together would be great if your machine can handle it. I was afraid my machine might not handle the thickness. :-). Good luck with your book and thanks for watching. Hugs, Lequetta

[@kathypowell3476]

p.s. LOL. I meant to ask you, please, should I use glue to attach all the embellishments? Is the gorgeous book on your video 7”x7”? It looks a bit different. Tyvm for your help. I really appreciate it.

[@Pamperdpetals]

Hi there, I use glue most of the time to attach fabric, lace and embellishments and I like Fabric-Tac. Not sure if I was using it at the time of this video but its my preferred choice of glue now. Sometimes heavy jewelry items need to be sewn on if its possible. Yes you are correct the books shown are not 7x7. The cream one is 9x6 and the color one is 8x6. Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching. Good luck with your book and take care.

[@cyndiduncan7795]

I have been looking for the right fabric book base for me. So far I have done two books with different bindings modified from KZbin videos. I'm still looking. Yours will be the next one I try. Very nice tutorial. Thanks.

[@Pamperdpetals]

I totally understand and I hope this one works for you. A very dear friend of mine suggested that I make the chipboard spine wider so that there would be space between each page for embellishments. I have to give it some thought to see how that might work. Have fun making your book and thanks for watching.

[@Pegaluce]

I don't know what happened, but the beginning of my comment has disappeared...I was thanking you for demonstrating so well how to actually make the book pages and put together!!! Especially for people who do not have a sewing machine. I have subbed for your videos and anxious to see more of your them.

[@Pamperdpetals]

Thank you so much for subscribing and watching, I really appreciate the support. Happy Crafting. Hugs

[@robertacomeau6504]

Just subscribed to your channel. I found your tutorial for the "basic book" inspiring. Thanks for sharing and look forward to seeing your other work.

[@Pamperdpetals]

Hello Roberta and thank you so much for subscribing and so glad you enjoyed the tutorial. Take care

[@MetroStitcher]

I am so glad I stumbled upon your channel! Thank you for the excellent tutorial. I can't wait to get started. Do you have a preference of natural or unbleached muslin over white? Does it really make a difference?

[@Pamperdpetals]

It doesn't really matter, simply your preference. I am happy you found the video helpful. Have fun creating. 💗

[@karenamenson2883]

Can you please describe how you use this thin muslin to print on, I see this being used rather than buying the packaged printer material. Confusing how this goes into printer. Thank you. Karen Amenson.

[@Pamperdpetals]

Hi Karen, I find the thinest muslin that I can and then I have freezer paper that I bought a long time ago at my local grocery. It has a shiny side and a dull side. The shiny side is the side to put against your fabric and iron it on using your hottest setting. When the two are fused together be sure and iron on both sides to get rid of any bubbles or air pockets, then trim them down to 8 1/5 by 11. I usually cut the fabric and paper a tiny bit larger and then trim after ironing to the perfect size. I have to feed my sheets in manually one at a time, it does not work if I put it in the paper tray where you normally put your printer paper. Hope that helps. 🌹

thank you very much for such a wonder tutorial..you inspired me and I love the books that you made. Your instructions were so simple and i appreciate all the love and patience that you put into this video. I hope you will make more. This will be my first book that I will make so once again thank you, I appreciate all that you do. Michelle

[@Pamperdpetals]

Michelle Kim Thank you Michelle for your sweet comments. The books are a lot of fun to make and I hope you enjoy making yours. Thanks so much for watching, take care, Lequetta

[@kathycadile6421]

Great video. Do you glue everything else in such as doilies and laces or do you sew them. Sometimes I find that the hot glue shows and doesn't look very neat so when putting on a lace piece for the pages how would you sew that on. Thanks

[@Pamperdpetals]

Hi Kathy, I have actually done it both ways, the first few books I made I sewed everything in but then I started using hot glue and yes sometimes it does show and you will end up adding something on top to cover the glue spot. When adding laces to your page, if your lace does not have a straight edge then look for a place on the lace where you can make tiny hidden stitches to sew it to your base page. I hope I have answered your question. Try your best to use matching thread, that helps to not see your stitches. Have fun making your book. 💖

[@sarahharris7662]

I love your work you are extremely talented. I have a question when you place the chipboard do you also put chipboard in the second piece also?

[@Pamperdpetals]

Hi Sarah, yes I put chipboard in both pieces. Thanks for watching, hugs

[@SimpLeeBeth]

I appreciate the tutorial! 💗🙏xo

[@Slrutube4me]

wonderful tutorial! how would you put the book together if u put gussets on each page...what holds them together..do u glue..sew down the middle? helpthank u

[@Pamperdpetals]

Hi Sharon, here is a link to Jeanette's channel ScrappinHappyxo and she has a very nice tutorial on how to make the book with gussets on each page. Hope that helps. Thank you kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5SqaHuBZr15Z7s

[@rochellehentze947]

Holy cow girl you are so talented

[@kimstevenson1148]

Thank You so much for your very informative video.....I like your way of putting together a book/journal.... I have never been shown that way... Seems pretty easy to do......Thanks again 😊

[@barbarawebersmountaintreas7434]

Your Tutorials are great, and journals are beautiful. Do you think sewing or gluing works best?

[@Pamperdpetals]

Either works, I love sewing but I don't sew the entire book together anymore, it just takes too long so glue works. Have a great day.

[@beadladyaes189]

wonderful tutorial! Could you sew the pages to the Spine? Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us.

[@Pamperdpetals]

beadlady aes Hi, I think you could sew the pages to the spine as long as it's not too thick for your sewing machine to handle, also make sure you have enough edge so that you don't accidentally stitch into the chipboard spine. ;-). Good luck and I would love to see your book when finished! Thanks for watching. Lequetta

[@rhondamarshall7039]

Love this thank you.

[@SusanRoseArt]

What an interesting tutorial! Thank you so much. I'm making some fabric journals and I've been dithering about for ages not knowing how best to join all the pages. Now I know. Thanks again! Stay safe. 😷 Sue x

[@katericochran4634]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I saw someone else's video and they referred your channel as well as the other channel you referred to. I can't remember who it was, because I have been watching so many videos and although I would like to tell you who it was, I can't remember. But I love the way you taught how to make this binding system and base for a fabric or lace book. I love it. Thank you for sharing this, I really appreciate it. And I will definitely go to the other youtube tutorial that shows the large gusset.

[@Pamperdpetals]

Hi Kateri, Thank you for your kind comment and also for watching. The other channel that I mentioned is ScrappinHappyXO and her name is Jeanette.

What would happen if you made it without the chipboard in it? Tu

[@Pamperdpetals]

Hi Shelly, It would be fine without the chipboard it would just have a soft spine. The color book in the video does not have chipboard in the spine, hopefully that gives you some idea of how the support looks without chipboard. Thanks for watching. hugs

[@blancacervantes8455]

Thank you for sharing on how to do the middle part, it's very simple yet a lot of people who do crafting don't know how to do it, and I'm not saying for the wonderful tutorials on KZbin, cause there's a lot of wonderful and creative women on it, I've just started crafting myself, I did a needle book, and the middle part I didn't know what to do about it, I learned what to do thanks to you, xxoo
