DIY Disney Book Sleeve | Paola Julissa

[@kathie9823]

Just an FYI for everyone...it is Foam Interfacing. Do not ask for Foam at a craft store they will show you craft foam. This is a type of interfacing.

After seeing this tutorial I had a friend make me different size templates and I have made several in different sizes. I think this is the best tutorial as it is the only one that gives instruction on measurements. The others I have seen use a general guessed measurement. Thanks for posting

[@himanshipoddar]

Where can we get this type of foam?

[@impala2215]

I think your video just motivated me to create a book sleeve of my own, so thanks XD Love from France !

[@loisrader8089]

I’ve found it easier to leave the bottom completely open. See only top and sides. Turn then see complete bottom. It’s much easier to turn. Hope this is some help for you. Love your video ❤️

[@faith5584]

Love this, your tutorial is the best I found. And I love how you did the math on paper where we could see, That was really helpful.

[@cassoroxwasmy11yearoldself]

Thanks for showing how to calculate the size of the fabric!

[@selenakird4171]

Loved the video!! Where can I find this fabric ? It’s a very beautiful one! 💖💖

[@murrietamary]

Your video was very helpful. I also ended up putting an elastic loop and a button closure on it. Thank you.

[@chandracox6814]

Just make a book sleeve that is the same size as printer paper. That way you automatically have a template to use when cutting out your fabric and foam interfacing. Easy peasy.

[@ErikaDeOcampo]

This is such a cute idea Paola! I would use this for a tablet too, like my kindle!!

[@PaolaJulissa]

Erika DeOcampo that is a great idea! ✨✨✨

[@mirandasummers7309]

Thank u soooo much for this tutorial!!! I have made these in two different sizes and I absolutely LOVE them! I didn't have the foam so I used fleece instead, a little tricky because it's stretchy but still worked.

[@PaolaJulissa]

I'm so happy this helped you

[@1Inked4Heart3]

Yes ! I'm going to try felt., Let's see

[@nayeli6283]

Thank you for this video

[@candycane19]

This can also work for a diy crossbody bag. I love this. I have a few bend covers of my own. 💖💖💖💖💖

[@PaolaJulissa]

candycane19 they are the best things ever 💖

[@MR-bq1os]

Paola Julissa do you have a video of you making a cross body bag?

[@catiecath4962]

I plan on making one! 🥰 Do I need to get a good kind of sewing machine? Or will the small ones will work?

[@gaellelemoigne]

So cute fabric!

[@chandracox6814]

Probably best to learn your sewing terms. Also, leave the entire bottom open instead of a few inches. With the foam interfacing being so thick, it is much easier to pull it through with a wider opening.

[@PaolaJulissa]

Chandra Cox lol true i don’t know my sewing terms, I’m self taught. As long as people can understand what I’m talking about that’s all i care about :)

[@kathie9823]

Leave the gap, the foam turns easily. I make them all the time.

[@atkinseh]

@@PaolaJulissa it's called pressing, not stamping the iron. You press. 😊

[@sharonginger2997]

Thank you

[@juliannaakuchie7215]

Love that fabric!!!! Should you prewash the fabric??

[@PaolaJulissa]

Julianna Akuchie i didn’t but to avoid any issues you definitely can :)

[@chandracox6814]

Never prewash precuts!!

[@stephanecastillo8569]

Does it matter the kind of fabric?

[@mplekounoupi]

Wow !! This is so cute!! 😍 Do you get your fabrics from an online store? I can't find fancy ones where I live :/

[@PaolaJulissa]

mplekounoupi i get them in person at fabric stores near me but i know joanns for example, has fabric online for purchase :)

[@mplekounoupi]

@@PaolaJulissa Ohh lucky you! Thanks for the answer, I'll check that out!

[@rin1085]

Thanks for this amazing tutorial! What foam do you use?

[@PaolaJulissa]

C Li it’s called fusible foam...one side of the foam has “glue” which you would iron on to your fabric. You can find it at most stores that sell fabric and you can buy it online on eBay or amazon :)

[@stellabreki1824]

Many thanks for your video! When you measure 2 inches for the edges, is that to simulate the height of the book? So for example if I have a 900 page book (looking at you, Robin Hobb) I'm a bit confused how to adjust the size to fit my book. Thanks for any help!

[@PaolaJulissa]

Stella Breki hi! So the height of my book is around 1inch, and so to adjust the edges I added 2inches to the width and height (1inch for left, 1inch for the right= width, and then 1inch for top and 1inch for bottom=height). Adding the 2inches made my sleeve have a bit extra room, if i wanted it a bit snug then i could have added just 1 extra inch for width and 1 extra inch for height.. (just take into consideration that the foam adds a little bit of extra bulk). i hope that wasn’t too confusing! I’d suggest just make a mock-up with scrap fabric or cheap fabric or even paper before you commit to the fabric you’ll use. That way you’ll have a basic idea of the measurements you need :)

[@stellabreki1824]

@@PaolaJulissa thank you so much for the reply!! I'll definitely try the mock up with paper to get an idea :)

[@elyontaylor53]

i love it... thank u so much!

[@TheLEOraaawrs]

Hi! What kind of sewing machine can you recommend in sewing foam like this? Thank you.

[@adasmart3095]

You can use any standard machine. Just remember to use a longer stitch when sewing the foam. This foam is safe for all machines

[@barbra429]

Has anyone experienced this foam making your fabric wrinkly, maybe I'm applying it the wrong way.

[@amoafabioyuff]

someone would be so kind to tell me the name of the filling in Spanish thanks

[@BrookeClark_]

How much does the foam cost?

[@kathie9823]

The foam interfacing she is using is $11 a yard. I bought the $3 a yard foam interfacing and us quilt spray glue to attach the fabric.

[@kellynguyen994]

Where would you get that foam?

[@PaolaJulissa]

Kelly Nguyen you can find it at pretty much any fabric store, i got mine from Joann’s 😊

[@chandracox6814]

Walmart, Joanns, Hobby Lobby, etc.
