[@Shabby.Soul-Suzy]

Thank you ❤️ You might try Etsy. Simonsaysstamp.com sells small bundles too.

[@mariemiddleton467]

Love these journals! How do you add signatures once it is finished? 🤔

[@Shabby.Soul-Suzy]

Thank you! I meant you can add pages with tape, staples or sewing. If you want a traditional signature then it would need to be sewn to the fabric as I demonstrated.

[@TheTruckingScribe]

Beautiful journal!💜⛟💜⛟💜

[@Shabby.Soul-Suzy]

Hello and welcome to my channel! I’m so happy you like the fabric spine! ❤️

[@cigale1254]

Thank you Suzy. I already have been making different spines and machine stitching of signatures in advance before handstitching the onto the spine always was a great help for me to keep pages more straight. This idea of stitching in loose pages and decorate them futher in the process is very inventive. I must try that.

[@Shabby.Soul-Suzy]

Thank you Tineke, I’m so happy to hear this was helpful! Have fun making! ❤️

[@maryward1964]

11:18 New follower here, and have no idea how you entered my universe!! So happy you did! This is an amazing journal ! Question: I read in your replies that you use a 3X 5 “ size, would this work with larger journals? Say a 5x 7”? Also not only is the fabric Tim Holtz is the paper for a couple of your journals his paper as well?? Halloween-ish? Now I can’t wait for flip through, I need to go watch all your videos! Thank you so much for an excellent instruction on your technique❤

[@Shabby.Soul-Suzy]

Hello and welcome to my channel! Thank you for your kind words. Absolutely, this will work with a larger or any size journal. The papers are all Tim Holtz Halloween, I have linked them in the description box below this video. Thanks again for following along and tfw! ❤️

[@kittydurmaj6159]

I really liked your video…..I got lost with the part of adding more pages after the ones you had sewn in. Are additional pages also sewn in?

[@Shabby.Soul-Suzy]

No worries, I meant that extra papers can be added by sewing, stapling or taping them in. Or you can sew a signature to the fabric instead of a single folded page. I hope this helps.

[@mariakristinaengen3215]

[@SBre-ti4lx]

Very cool 😍!

[@Shabby.Soul-Suzy]

Thank you! ❤️

[@tracyhickman1359]

WhT a wonderful tutorial, you’ve made this so easy now if you could somehow magically make a tutorial on hoed to set up and operate a sewing machine, the death of me!

[@cindyhenry1410]
