how to sew a signature in a fabric cover to make a junk journal

[@BitchinMusic-sc2lo]

9/5/24: Your tutorial was like a one-stop shopping experience, everything you will ever need to make this junk journal is right here and you needn't look any further! I didn't have to be all over the place, which is what I initially tried doing until I stumbled onto your video. I mean, I was looking at several videos for how to decorate signature pages, how to measure and cut to size, another to create the cover, the holes, etc. You get the picture? I could go on and on, but your video answered every nook and cranny of questions I had in my head and showed me the way on how to put a proper junk journal together from beginning to end. Your instructions were pinpoint perfect! Good gosh, I love this video and so appreciate the time you took in putting it together for anyone's benefit that needs this in their life. I know I did...LOL! Thank you SO much, Donna (my name is Donna, too!) for an incredible presentation. 😊 P.S. I've already started making my JJ, so excited and greetings from California!

hey Donna it's so nice to meet you! i can't get over how much a like we are lol, I read through your little letter twice and so many things you said made me think you think just like me lol Thank you for being so awesome! I have created a facebook group called 'Finish that junk journal' facebook.com/groups/1614280142451465 I would love to see you join if you want, so I can see your progress 🥰🐝🌹🦋 crafty hugs Donna

Gorgeous results and well explained. Thank you. I'm going to try my hand at a soft cover journal. Since I love Edith Holden's books, I am going to print the pages and not use originals.

hey Marie, thanks a lot for your lovely compliment, and I love EH books as well, just a warning EH is heavily copyright ;-) i wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't mention this to you just in case you're not aware. ♡☆🦋 crafty hugs Donna

[@christinacreatesau]

That's a great idea Donna with the medical and washi tapes to join 2 pages and put them in as part of the signature. Love that thick lace you played with and the idea off adding the ribbon as a book page minder. And yes, the bee doily is exquisite. Wonder if there's any more of those around the opp shops? LOL

[@JunkJournalideas]

thanks Christina, the medical tape works great, i've been looking for more doilies and none yet!! but you know us we keep searching and waiting xx 😍

I use paperclips to stick through the holes so they don't close on me and then remove them as I'm ready to sew through the holes. I had to figure out where my holes went, one time and that was enough for me, lol. So now I have 4-5 paperclips that I only use for the signatures. Anyone else use paperclips for that?

[@JunkJournalideas]

that's a great idea Peace2yaa, thanks for the tip! i'll use that on my multiple signature demo!! 🥰 (❁´◡`❁) 💗😊hugs Donna
