SUPER SIMPLE Design Your Own Vinyl Notebook Holder! Great Beginner Vinyl Sewing Project!

[@WinePunk]

If I can make a suggestion. On vinyl before you put your first coat of edgecoat primer. Take a lighter and run it down the edge, not get as close like you do when burning threads, but close enough you sear those vinyl hairs. even when cut with a super sharp rotary cutter, there’s fuzzies on the vinyl. When you burn them off it makes the vinyl very smooth and you can really tell the difference on that first primer coat and depending on the thickness you may be able to save a layer of primer. It doesn’t suck the product up at all. Same reason you burnish leather edges with a tool before edge coating, saves a lot of sanding. But you really have to finesse it to not burn the vinyl. Do some scrap test pieces to get the hang of it. Do a edgecoat primer with and without the edge being singed to see the difference.

I want to try and make these for my sons teachers. They put up with alot

[@Crazy.Sheller]

Thank you for the free pattern, will be making one today. I so enjoy your videos and enthusiasm.

[@Divergent_stitches]

Love hearing you say you like things "wonky" - my handbag small business is The Wonky Stitch ha! I've been wanting to do notebook covers, this is my impetus, thanks!

[@Kera.S.]

Sewgnar does lots of edge coating on her channel and has a great idea for any that gets on the vinyl. After it's all dry use nail polish remover and Q-tip and it comes right off. She also has some amazing patterns! Great tutorial Jess! 💙

[@nikkiclark279]

Thank you so much!!! I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this idea. I needed a bible cover and this is perfect!!!

[@maggiemay961]

Another fab tutorial Jess! On another KZbin I was watching for edge painting they said not to dip into the jar if you were coating vinyl as it is fibrous and puts small fibres into the coating. They said to pour a small amount into a dish with a bit of cling film in there to keep the dish clean and you can fold it over to stop the paint from drying out.

[@ambercloud2776]

This IS AWESOME. simple. Easy. FUN! This is a mojo booster for sure. 🥰🌟😎 Thanks Again for another EXCELLENT video Jess. You are TOP NOTCH.

[@sydneybristo22]

Thank you so much these are outstanding! I appreciate you helping us create our own versions. I want to make this with a zipper around the outside so badly as I purchased one for a lot of money but I feel like I could make it. You are inspiring and I love your quicker makes. They are restorative you know? Fun to make and gift and use different fabrics/ vinyls

[@SheriMaple]

I just discovered your channel. I"m going to make a notebook holder and a coordinating totebag. I carry books and think that the waxed canvas is a great option for me. Thanks for the tutorial and your time for doing it.

[@PhilbrookHandcrafted]

Adorable! What a great gift idea. It would make a cute cover for a planner too

[@taylorfaber2610]

Not sure if you thought of this but there could be a metal edge decoration the is intended for flaps or wallets you can add to cover the white? If not maybe find an ombre sticker vinyl to hide the white?

[@jillbruce3624]

Oh my, I just love this. I am a notebook fanatic, and I cannot wait to get out some cork and make one or more. I am going to watch your video on rivets and presses. I do not have one and I very much want to use rivets. Thank you so much for the inspiration and great instructions.

[@LonnaLamb]

Love this tutorial! I am artist and love drawing and love this idea of covering my art journal! Thanks for a great tutorial!

[@tracy-kay]

Love this! I’m thinking of embroidering my inspirational quote on the vinyl BEFORE making the cover! Cant wait to try it…🥰

[@kathiehayes865]

Love this project. Thanks!

[@kanitacoleman5804]

I bought a cool journal for my granddaughter for Easter. This is an EXCELLENT idea to enhance the gift! Jess you are AWESOME!💖

[@timelesscottagegifts7240]

Your videos are so clear and informative. I love this!

[@craftyworkingmama]

Love this and I’m going to be making it for one of my best girl friends bday presents. She will love it. Can’t wait for the fabric version.

[@sharonsmith5575]

I have also used sharpie permanent markers for edges.

[@taishannel865]

Great video! One of the most helpful that I was able to find!

[@lisahurst8565]

I love it! Great idea for my planner.

[@conqueringmountscrapmorewi2509]

Such a cute notebook. Thanks for sharing!

[@laurasandy4479]

This is adorable, and I love that with your fabric choices you can make one for everyone!! Thank you, Jess, for a great pattern and tutorial 😊 ❤️

[@clairebirch2968]

Loving these .... going to experiment with a cotton canvas version and also a version with a pocket on the from for little ones to put crayons in 😍

[@cherenalee4957]

Jess, this is right on time. I want to make a beautiful vinyl cover at an economical cost. Thank you so much.

[@SiahSwag]

What a great simple idea!!! I love it so much!

[@trinathompson3816]

Thank you for the tutorial I just printed out the pattern and am going to buy the vinyl this wknd 😊

[@gloriababb3291]

Absolutely ❤️ this. Thanks for all your videos. I ❤️ ya... your so awsome

[@lizgonzalez4781]

I can’t wait to make this! I have the pattern svgs and there’s a circle but I don’t know what it’s for. I don’t recall seeing you cut out a circle in the video, unless I missed it.

[@kimw5533]

❤❤❤ I am going to make this now…trying waterproof canvas for the lining. I hope it works! ☺

[@juliescaparra2940]

Love your channel. Would love to see more of ByAnnie projects pretty please.

[@Vanessa__R]

Love this tutorial! I’ll be making a few different sizes this week. Thanks Jess 😃

[@Noskipstitch]

Wow! That's so pretty & looks very professionally done! Great job 👏 👌 U are fantastic. Thank u for sharing 🌻

[@marydankers534]

Nice work. Thank you for sharing. What size needles and type of threads do you use. construction.?. 4:17 4:17

[@Lana.Created]

Love this! I made something similar out of cork, as an art pad cover last year and heat presses one of her line drawings in the front. She loved it's

[@xomgxitsxtanyax]

Love Love Love the bag tags!

[@BigSister56]

Great note books, as I'm always drawing this will be great in A3 size thanks

[@bettydarling2445]

Thank you for the instructions. I. will be making a few of these. I buy the moleskin journals for my daughter a few times a year so this will be an excellent replacement. Maybe I will embroider initials on the cover!

[@adrianaariza-jones3694]

Love your projects ! This is specially cute ! Thank you for sharing your ideas and inspirations !!👍😊😁😜👏👏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@sandrataylor3563]

These are fab. You could do plain vinyl and add a htv design or name etc.

[@casiannaparadis867]

Love them. Now to make some.

[@TheSolymarfernandez]

Definitely I want to try it

[@PatsyClevenger0308]

Thanks Jess great sew

[@nicolejackson1781]

So cute!! I love your creative ideas!! Just a thought about attaching the pen loop. If you open the loop flat you can baste it to the pocket before you clip it all together then you'd only have the one unattached edge of the pen loop to worry about and your basting stitches would be hidden. Just a thought 🤔

[@CraftyCopley]

Great sewing space! Updated video please!

[@tamhax]

Thank you! I love this pattern! I have one notebook cover and love it so now I can make many more in different sizes! Also, I just order my press from Kamsnaps! JUDY is great over there! I am so excited to get and of course, I did get the magnetic snap dies too! So now I have the perfect pattern for them!! Thanks again for all your information, videos, and just your inspiration to create! 💜

[@lindatarle5162]

What a fun tutorial! Loved it.

[@nikkid1814]

Love this. Has anyone resized this to fit a classic happy planner?

[@craftyworkingmama]

Any chance you could do a embroidered strap? Would love to see that

[@jessicamarsh9779]

For CW, couldn’t you just add about .5-1.0 in, put everything together rights sides, then leave an opening, flip it, put in the DH, fuse it, then add the pockets as your topstitching maybe? Idk just a thought since we haven’t gotten an update 😉😊

[@sleeplessinscandia6452]

Hello…. On the waxed canvas one…is it interfaced? Did you leave the raw edges on waxed canvas? Thanks in advance ❤

[@marydankers534]

You state that you use Gutterman thread in your bobbin. What type of thread is that.?. Cotton, polyester or nylon. Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@jenniferlittlechild7600]

Love it n will make it

[@shelley7147]

Love this !! Can you tell me if you put interfacing on the waxed canvas version?

[@beadrat]

Hello Jell! I love your channel! All of your tutorials are so easy to follow as you explain and demonstrate so amazingly well. I just wanted to tell you that you should look into getting an arbor press. It can do everything the Kam Snap Press can do and you don't have to buy and of the adapters you screw in. Check it out! Oh yeah...I added card slots to one side of the notebook holder. Worked out pretty cool. Honda

[@marydankers534]

Thank you for sharing. Your teaching style is awesome. I have a press. Where may I find the rivets and magnetic rivet snaps as well as the dies for applications. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

[@hollyk4368]

Love it! you mentioned NOT using Peltex.... why and are there adjustments that makes that work? I have some so thought to use it up first, knowing many are suggesting decovil is better... Thanks

[@maryequilter31]

Fantastic !!! Thanks so much

[@jeanshep52]

Love this pattern. I will be making some. Could you use WPC for the lining?

[@loyrebecca]

I love this pattern and the flap with a design where can I get them

[@dianne20010]

Can you use waterproof canvas for the lining

[@marleneday2984]

This is awesome thank you so much. I will go make a million now. Lol

[@gladysscott526]

Hi Jess could you use this for a bible or book carrier? If not can you make one for a tutorial?

[@thomassmith6344]

Hello Gladys

[@caramagrowski320]

Hi Jess, Would I be able to add a a6 notebook looseleaf binder? (Amazon) So I can put pages or plastic envelopes in it?

[@pamelaleitman9305]

How do you get different colored name tags? Do you make them yourself? Is it a stamp type thing? Love the notebook!

[@ufoquilter86]

Cool project! Where can I find the emb tab?

[@lindapugh4778]

Love it! Thanks!

[@sparklemint2458]

Love 💖

[@krishxx1542]

Do you have measurements of the pocket pieces or the strap tab please? My book is a different size to yours so trying to work out what I should use. Thank you x

[@atticusk8548]

A suggestion: For custom binder cover, measure binder closed from end to end and add 1/2" to each end and use for cover and lining. The suggested blanket statement to add 3"-3.5" to measurement given in the video was imo a disaster and I had to recut. FWIW Shabby Fabrics has a Bible Cover template for very precise measurements to make a cloth cover that worked perfectly for customer sized binder. The template measurements took a few minutes to do but imo gave a professional result and there was no floppy fabric. IMO the directions given by Oklaroots for customizing are simply too vague and the imprecision imo gives a very floppy/sloppy looking and sad cover. If the cork and vinyl I used weren't so expensive I would have just tossed my first custom binder cover as it was a hot mess. But, It took a long time to recut so I could save the materials and get a tightly fitting cover for my binder. Just posting this so others won't go down the path outlined in the video and waste a ton of time on a custom sized cover. Pattern as outlined in video is fine for the notebook suggested but imo seek out other makers for the custom version if you value your time!

[@amechealle5918]

I agree! Vague instructions/measurements are annoying.

[@rachaelbarber9999]

Love it! What Bernina foot are you using?

[@bobwilder4241]

Was wondering if it would hold a regular 5 star notebook these would be awesome for my daughter for schooling. We love to customize her stuff. Was also wondering if we could glue these as well shes only 14 and still a little scared of the sewing machine (learning)

[@obekpair9811]

I love the strap, did you bought it?

[@trumpet6443]

Wonderful! Can you please tell me where your embroidered letters come from, or perhaps you digitized them yourself...

[@sheilasantiago3715]

Did you ever make this with the quilted cotton? I scrolled through your videos but didn't see one

[@heyliz159]

HI. Can cork be used to make this notebook?

[@Socialmolly1]

What size magnetic snap rivets are you using? 18mm or 14mm?

[@thomassmith6344]

Hello molly

[@amandalisbony953]

It looks like the 14mm magnetic snaps from KamSnaps.com

[@sandracarrillo1260]

Thank you for the tutorial. Covers are beautiful and fun. Where could I purchase files for snap tabs? I have an embroidery machine.

[@mrs.ruthallen9841]

I believe that she has mentioned in the past she uses Creations by Connie. www.creationsbyconnieembroidery.com/?amp=1

[@ancquieshallsmith4329]

What is the name of those board on your wall that hang your crafting stuff on

[@cindihager3409]

The remark about the bangs so funny! My mom used to cut my bangs all my school pictures I have wonky bangs haha! Love this project! So which cutting machine do you use for your svg files? I have a maker but can you use the long cutting mat with that?

[@cheril7221]

wonder if you could use wpc as a lining as it doesn't fray?

[@lauramiddleton2709]

Can you help me and find out where the vinyl Pens that you use, I have searched and can't find them. Ty please 🙏

[@valthompson2004]

Where do you find the notebooks to put in here? I couldn’t find this size at walmart.

[@AnonymousAmyMakes]

Is there a way to make this using different vinyl for the front vs the back? I have lots of pretty vinyl sheets that I'd like to use but obviously they're not big enough.

[@jaimiemason4933]

I'd just use one piece for the front, a different piece 2in give or take for the spine /Middle and then a different piece for the back. Sew the 3 pieces together and you're done

[@SagittariusWoman912]

Will this pattern fit a composition notebook?

[@wmyoung1000]

i know absolutely nothing about sewing and buying vinyl, do you have a tutorial on this. i never would have guessed vinyl comes in a roll lol

[@lauramarjoram2692]

What a great tutorial! Thank you. On your logo is it a bear? I can see the dog, but was just wondering about the bear? X

[@stephanniemetz3610]

I love the waxed canvas one you did! What color -and where did you find- is your vinyl?

[@hapagirl1976]

What size rivets and magnetic snaps are you using? I get mine from Kam Snaps.

[@withloveIva]

Hi Jess! I’m really struggling with top thread breaking and I’m so lost! I’ve done everything, tension checks, rethreading, longer stitch, scotch tape, tissue paper, and a new needle!! I have my beautifully cut vinyl notebook cover ready to go but I can’t make my machine to work!!! 😞 I’m desperate. Please help! Edited to add, I’m using brother domestic machine and a 14 size needle

[@needleontherun5477]

What size magnetic snaps did you use?

[@sherryabishop]

Hope she answers

[@pamelaleitman9305]

Do you sell the basecoat and paint?

[@lindahuber2822]

Where do you get the double sided tape from? Also, where do you get the vinyl marker? Thanks

[@eldaarana3966]

Where did u get the star wars soldiers color water

[@cassandrasandeman2252]

I can’t wait to make these!! I was just wondering what the name of the place is where we can buy the patterns to make the tabs??

[@marciaellis6150]

There are a few places to purchase snap tabs on Etsy.

[@brittanileach6402]

How about instead of binding- French seams? If that is the right term...

[@TheDivagirl27]

I have a question for the snap tab, do you have the embroidery digital design for sale? So we can do the same mini mouse one you show ?
