You are so fun to watch. I just sit and laugh sometimes when you are working through your crafts. I need more of you in my life. I do not laugh nearly as much as I do when I watch your videos. LOVE IT!!! Keep it going.

[@mouseydeb3245]

Pam, I have to say you’re giving me doily heart failure this morning. 😆 I wanted to grab that large cream (probably place mat) rectangle thingy out of your hand and hide it behind my back. I actually shouted, “no chop, Pam! No chop!”😆 It would make an entire cover base by itself. 😁 You are fearless. You go girl! 👍 Your vision, your scraps, your glue and scissors = beautiful cover. Love watching you work. 💕

[@carlasim1647]

Hello Pam and crew, just love your boldness , I have made more doilies than I can count and I have to admit that I had a moment when you cut the first one but then I thought about how many of them that I have thrown away because of a stain. I could have saved them for a project like this.I have crafted most of my life, sewing for over half of it and I have followed the rules, well let me tell you the rules are now out of the window now I am ready to be a rebel .thank you for sharing your passion and so much fun

[@ThePaperOutpost]

A grand thank you to all the doily makers out there!!! I am forever humbled by your expertise!

[@susanmarcoux7005]

You have great ideas but really I watch for the entertainment value. Thanks for sharing.

Omg, you crack me up, it’s like watching myself in the mirror. Everything stuck to my fingers, things toppling over, can’t find my scissors. I just love you

[@cynthiat6505]

I firmly believe that’s why we love Miss Pamela! She’s so real, and the best of mentors!

[@joybailey3214]

Me too ! I just discovered Pam's videos I love the way you have a conversation with yourself ,I mean your audience,😁 I'm thrilled I found my peeps,who took my .... ..i talk to my projects too

[@dianethompson8841]

Awoke to 47 degree temp this morning in my little piece of Arkansas. Beautiful weather for football. Coffee and TPO is bringing me alive this Saturday morning. Loving this technique Pam! Thanks for making the decision to share all your talents with us!!!! Love to you, Papa, MIL if she is still visiting and your furry babies!!!!! -Diane

Its coming!!! ;)

[@donnaswisher8408]

My phone isn't letting me leave a comment so I hope you don't end up with several comments from me.. I can't remember all that I said 😏 but briefly...you could use your metal bobbins and wooden thread spools as spine dangles for a sewing theme journal. Love this project. Your inside fabric with doilies would make an awesome cover. TFS Regards to the menagerie and Papa too of course. Have a great day. 🌞

[@patriciaruppert201]

That cover really worked out. And just makes you free to play with fabrics and stitching. Sunny is such a doll and the little guy was definitely pooped out and in need of his nap. Big hugs. ❤️❤️

[@lalagamma4452]

Lovely!! Like piggie and Sunny bun too.✌️👍🕉️

[@johannhenderson5670]

Hi Pam, just back from sewing class and the recommendation is to change your needle after every project! That’s about 8 to 10 hours continuous sewing. Will give this a go. J

I'm watching this one again seen a few steps I missed ,but love it

[@lindavazquez589]

You are so funny, and so talented. Thank you so much for putting a smile on my face and sharing your talent and humor.

[@sandyhellebrand8740]

This is very inspiring, thank you. You probably already know this, but for fabric that doesn’t tear very well, there is a strategy of pulling a fabric thread along where you want the cut to be or where you would tear if the fabric would let you. - you can pull the thread all the way out and it will leave a little blank spot that you can follow with your scissors or if the breaks before you can pull it all the way through, it leaves a scrunched up line that continues in the same path that will let you follow the same straight line easily with your scissors.

[@kathrynhelm4176]

Never would have thought of using book jackets! Great idea. I have a fabric collage on my “to do” list...I may have to move it up. ❤️

[@pratyt5079]

Dear Pam, You are wonderful! ❤ I love watching your videos. I've only discovered you a few weeks ago, but you are pretty much the only person I watch for scrapbooking. To answer your question, Yes there is a right and wrong side in crochet. Sometimes it is hard to tell which is which and sometimes they both look really good. (Atleast to my eye) I love to crochet. Hope this gets to you a year after you have made your video, Pam. Unless someone else already answered your question. By the way, please don't ever make a silent video. Love your chatter❤

[@michaelakooistra6511]

I'm pretty sure in the last week or so I've watched every single one of your videos multiple times, now I put ur podcast on when ever I'm cleaning my place. If someone asked me what my favourite tv show I'd, I'd Say the paper outpost. I fall asleep watching your videos every night I find them so inspiring and therapeutic, and u always make me laugh going off topic and losing track of everything or of what ur doing. I can relate to ur videos so much im the exact same way in the craft room. Thank you for all the inspiration and motivation/confidence to start my first junk journal that was once a dunkaroo box.

[@aprilcarter749]

Absolutely beautiful how your journal cover turned out, I have so much fabrics for making & quilts & clothing this will be my next (another) project to make for my granddaughter she will love her journal once she see this cover and everything inside. Sunny is a cutie. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video and ideal. Awesome Mrs. Pam @The Paper Outpost ;)

[@jeannemason6416]

Good morning! So glad you are addressing edges..I have issues with mine! pat Sunny for us, blessings

There is a right and wrong side to doilies, and I think you got it right! Thank you so much for your videos!!! What an inspiration ❤❤

I especially love how you don't edit out the parts that go off script...like the glue hand lace part...omg I laughed so hard because I could totally relate and when you said...don't laugh...lol..I look forward to every new video and enjoy watching all the past ones. I've learned soooo much from you...your the best in my book!

I totally love this one! You make it seem so easy...I was thinking what a gorgeous place mat this would be but then you mentioned food.... oh yeah... one would have to be very careful.... Oh well, maybe just to decorate my table... of course not with a paper book cover in it, but this does give one ideas for other projects. But back to the purpose of this... I hope we will see this through to a finished JJ. I am rambling aren't I? Thank you Pam, for all you do and all the fun and joy you give us. And little Sunny boy too. ❤️ ❤️❤️

[@mossandstars4984]

Thank you! I was wondering how to do it!!! Its funny and nice to listen to you because I also talk like that when Im doing all kinds of stuff. Its a nice self talk!!!

[@cynthiat6505]

Allergies don’t need interfacing! Gesundheit! Thank you so much for this!!!!❤️❤️❤️. With a doily, it’s best to keep both sides looking like the right side. Crocheting makes that possible. With your lace fabric, because it’s machine made, there is a right side. You’ll be able to tell because one side is definitely more attractive. Just love you!💖💗💓💗💖 And FlufferPup!💘

You are crazy quilting! eBay is truly an EXCELLENT source for fabric because: those of us who quilt are known for accumulating so much fabric that we have to offer it online to make room for our families to live in the house. It is usually discounted and in many precut sizes like 2 1/2” , 5”, 10” squares. Same with embroidery thread, lace etcetera.

If you glue the book and and then put the lace down it will stick better. Doilies and lace do have a front and back but sometimes it is very hard to tell. I'm glad you made this I was wanting to see how you made the cover. Very pretty and fun. Thanks Pam.

Aw, thanks, we took him to the little dag park today and he made a few furry friends :) It was nice :)

[@pamsauce8936]

Speaking from experience, gray or light tan on top works with most colors. On bottom use any color. A long straight stitch could be used to baste your scraps in place. And a wide zigzag is best. You can also use iron on interfacing and place your fabrics as you please. Then cover with a larger piece and iron. Then flip over and iron the back of interfacing. The no glue is gumming up your machine.

[@lourdeselena4771]

I had a lot of fabric scraps left over from mask making during Covid so I decided to try my first fabric collage today. Hoping to make a cover eventually. I had such a hard time finding fabrics back then so I dug into my goodwill pile of clothes. 😂 I have six siblings so I had alot of masks to make. Plus my two boys and their wives!

[@viviansmith8036]

Oh you must try even if you just get a simple straight & zig zag machine from Walmart or a second hand store that will take back electronics if they don't work. Or ask family or friends that you know sew if you can try their machine. Most of the time they are very willing to set it up and let you try it.

I use extra strength Heat & Bond (iron fusible fabric) in between the fabric and iron it together so there’s no glue to mess with and it ads rigidity. No areas that aren’t glued down.

That really looks fun. I have lots of pretty scraps to use. Please throw those old metal bobbins away. You have a really nice machine and it wasn't cheap. Only use Parts that it uses and keep it clean. Paper makes more lint than fabric. Use a soft makeup brush in the bobbin area and do not use spray air it packs the lint in the machine. Not trying to be bossy. I don't want you having your machine in the shop for expensive work .
