Thank you so much for this video. I am going to use this method to make a book of my cross stitch finishes. I'd like to keep the old book binding so I think I can modify want you have done to accomplish that. I've watched a few of your videos so far and just love your work. So creative. Thanks again.

Wonderful tutorial, Corinne - made one for Susannah's Vintage Sewing Techniques, but it was great to have such a clear tutorial in one spot. Thanks! (Hoping you are feeling more rested!) Hugs

[@tobelovedtreasuresbycorrine]

Wonderful! Yes all is good here!

[@kayleehealy8406]

A great Vlog, thank you Corrine, thorough instructions. I happen to have 3 old hard cover readers digest books (they now come in a soft cover, my Mum gets them regularly) I’m also converting an old photo album into one of these books so I can add my Anne Brooke’s 52 tags….😊

[@kimberleymaloy1728]

I forgot to mention that Trish Burr has quite a few books with embroidered birds.

[@StitchAround]

Wonderful video! Great idea to show how to attach the tabs to the outer covers in the beginning! It’s so very helpful to see the different journals you have that are similar but with slight variations to the one you’re making. Dotty Bee sent us to see how you constructed the journal. She’s used your method for a journal she’s talking about. ❤

[@tobelovedtreasuresbycorrine]

Glad it was helpful!

[@maureenlehman139]

Thank you Corrine…I’m going to make a few of these

[@DottyBeeVintage]

I’ve been wanting to make a fabric journal for a while now - thanks for the tutorial, I’ve just started to make mine x

Hi Corrine, new fan from the Caribbean. I saw this week 7 of your videos and I’m loving them. Can you add me your link you mentioned here at the beginning. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and beautiful creations.

[@tobelovedtreasuresbycorrine]

Are you referring to the making of the caddy designed by Jennifer Clouston or her channel?

[@tobelovedtreasuresbycorrine]

That’s the link to all my Jennifer inspired projects.

[@Noniinthebush]

Hi again Corinne! 😂 im wondering how you attach your front covers to the outside of the journal and also, how do you attach your work to the pages? Oh, and also the fold outs in the front and back? Cheers Noni

[@tobelovedtreasuresbycorrine]

Hi.. I use a glue stick to attach a completes piece to the cover .. all the other areas I stitch them to the pages. I guess the basic rule I follow if you can’t stitch it in ., glue it!

[@antonellaesposito5095]

your work is interesting 👍

[@tobelovedtreasuresbycorrine]

Glad you think so!

[@Lsquared551]

Binding fabric journals is my downfall! Thanks for the help

[@rosealbert4517]

What fabric are you using for your journal? Love your creativity 😊❤

[@tobelovedtreasuresbycorrine]

Base Fabric or support fabrics is alway calico.. that’s the name in Australia.. homespun is another name.

[@StarryDiadem]

Hi! Great tutorial - I'm new to this, but your video was v. clear and helpful. I was wondering about attached an embroidery to the front (and back!) cover. The calico you used on the hard book cover is quite tightly attached after you glued it down, and the tab will go under the cover decoration to hide it - so the cover decoration comes after the book is constructed unless the tab is highly decorated and can become a part of the decoration. Adding an embroidery later, to tightly-glued down calico ... a curved needle to make invisible stitches to hold it in place? Is that what you'd recommend?

[@tobelovedtreasuresbycorrine]

I use the glue.. too hard to stitch! A glue stick!

[@Noniinthebush]

Hi again Corinne, who is suzanna? Id love to do that project 😀 cheers Noni

[@tobelovedtreasuresbycorrine]

Her ytube channel is Vintage Blend Studio .. worthy checking out too

[@craftygrannyt]

Hi Corrine, thank you for putting this into one video for reference. A quick questions- In the larger book that you showed how many signature did you add or what would be the a rough signature for a book about 7 x 9 inch. i think i counted 3 signatures. does that sound right?

[@tobelovedtreasuresbycorrine]

Yeah that’s correct.. 3 signatures can be 4 stitcheries per signature.. so 12 is plenty

[@janetmitri644]

Loved watching this and learned so much. One question I have, do you add the pages to your signatures before or after your add the book covers and spine or after. I have everything made but not together.

[@tobelovedtreasuresbycorrine]

Before., then your not frighting with the cover..

[@janetmitri644]

Thank you! I’m excited now to get to work!

[@daffodilangel8724]

Hi Corinne, am loving this. Could you give name of pen marker you used from i think Officeworks…thank you

[@tobelovedtreasuresbycorrine]

It’s a pilot Frixon erasable

[@Noniinthebush]

Hi Corinne, where did you get the glues from? Cheers

[@tobelovedtreasuresbycorrine]

The blue glue stick is from my local office supplies and Woolworths if you are in Australia. They are student quality glues.

[@Paula-vh8em]

What is the dimensions of the book please.

[@tobelovedtreasuresbycorrine]

Hi.. 5 x 7.5”
