I just love that watercolor butterfly fabric!!! So beautiful!

Love your fabric and it turned out great! Fabric is tricky to work with ! Love the corner, too! Can’t wait to see more! 😷🤗🥰❤️ thank you dear Barbara

I really like that you are sharing some options and not just the fabric and paper you actually choose, it sparks my imagination to see alternatives! I love your final choices and the book turned out lovely! 😍 Looking forward to the May planning!

You made it look so easy! The cover is beautiful and I can’t wait to see what else you come up with!!!!!🌸🌸

Thank you Angela! You can do it too! 😃❤️

I am so jealous of that fabric!!! Beautiful choice for the book.

That turned out great! You can also just tie it with a ribbon, instead of adding anything permanent.. Love it!!

This turned out so beautiful!! I love the tiny bit of lace poking out of the spine. And the metal corner protectors (?) look so good!! Can’t wait to watch this journal progress!!

The cover is beautiful you’d never know it was your first time

Lol glad I'm not the only one who buys things and forget why! Lovely cover😍💖

I love this cover ,

Love it, for the closer you could also punch holes and use eyelets . That would look nice

I haven't followed the making of a planner before; I would love to use a fabric to cover a book. I love love love this book cover, you made it look doable. As always Barbara, Thank you

The fabric you picked is beautiful! You did a great job covering your new planner 💕

Beautiful! Love how you wrapped and finished the spine edge

Barbara, this turned out so pretty. And that little detail of the lace at the top and bottom was just perfect addition. I’ve used book corners before and did have to add a touch of glue but they were smaller then the ones you used. Always enjoy your videos. TFS! ❤️

This is beautiful - I love that fabric!

Hello Barbara, what a find today. I am busy with a journal for a newborn and was wondering how to do the cover. WELL, you heard my cries for help and VIOLA, you were covering your new book. Thank you soooo much, now I know what to do and how to do it. It seems quite an easy process, but with me, you never know!!!!!. Perhaps glueing the cat to the cover !!!! LOL. ANYHOOOOO, thank you again for the inspiration and encouragment, you are a STAR. I also love the other materials, especially the wine one, although also not a big drinker, the labels are very cute. Hope you are well and keeping safe, Blessings and hugs as always from Cape Town. Diana

You did a great job covering this book, the headbands are just a perfect detail, great job! I love the fabric choice too! ❤️

Adding the lace into the spine really adds to the look of this gorgeous cover. I appreciate you showing several of your options for fabric and paper and giving your reasons for choosing or not choosing each one. I like to know the thought that goes into choices being made because it helps me see things I may not have noticed on my own. I think the fraying of the edges on your fabric is so very pretty, and covering it with the paper seems such a shame. I know you said this is your first fabric cover, but have you ever seen or heard of anyone putting the paper on the inside cover first and then gluing the outside fabric on top of it? I know it sounds strange, and I am sure there is a good reason why it is done the way it is, but I do love the look of that frayed edge so much. I may give it a try and see what happens.

Thanks Jean! I’m glad seeing the thought process was helpful. I have never seen putting the paper under the fabric. Let me know how yours turned out. I guess most people prefer the neater look of not seeing the fabric edges...

The fabric choice is beautiful. 😘

I use fabric scissors for everything. You can sharpen them super easy at home or professionally if you wanted to. I think you did a great job for your first fabric covered book! Looks lovely!

Aye...muy bonito!😍 love it. I was also eyeing the other textile. The wine🍷 one. I kept thinking that it can be cut up to make labels or toppers with frayed eges. 😊

Very well done but I expected nothing less. Just fabulous.

Perfect, you seem to glide through new experiences in book making If it was me, there are heaps of things that go wrong lol Still I have made a Ephemera holder from start to finish fabric cover🤔 not bad Thank you 🇦🇺💐🌸

Love how it turned out! Gorgeos fabric!!💖

Barbara this is wonderful!! The cover is gorgeous and I learned stuff, like covering the inside covers AND their facing pages and stuffing the fabric into the spine AND to put the crocheted lace in as well (in the color I voted for, I might add). 🗳😁👍 For various reasons I've not been BuJo-like I used to, and while it helped me greatly and I miss it I've kinda lost my enthusiasm for the way I did it in the previous years. I saw your prep video for April tho, and it was veerrrry appealing. I have some time yet to consider, maybe I'll join you for your new book. Love you sweetheart, mom. Muah muah! 😘❤🌞🌵😘

I loved the cover so much..one can never go wrong with flowers..the theme, the lace and the texture all sums up to be absolutely enchanting and stunning!😊 Hope you have a peaceful day!😊🌸

Lovely remodel!😊❤

Once again a gorgeous cover. :-) Thanks für sharing!

Love all the fabric and the one you choose

That's so pretty. Thank you for sharing the video.

I've a few books with fabric, but always after I took the pages out. I was sitting here thinking, how is she going to do this? :D and then you did it and it looks amazing. For the tie closure you could punch eyelets into the front and back and put sari silk ribbon through each side to tie together. Gives it room for expansion. I love everything. All kinds of papers and styles. Mostly vintage though. Thanks for sharing.

Great fabric for the cover! The one I did I used fabric for the insides as well. Not a great solution so I will use papers next time! Love the papers you chose to go inside. I wasn't sure when you first chose them but then they looked just perfect!

Barbara, your cover came out amazing! I love the colors and especially the butterflies! Hope you are doing well. Have a nice week! Hugs💕

How easy did you make that look, I'm definitely giving this a go thanks Barbara. Loved the lace at the top of the spine

Wow...that turned out beautiful.

That really turned out great!! I love it❤️

Try cutting a bunch of times into some aluminum foil, and make sure to go the whole length of the scissors -- I cut into the foil and then fold it and into it again and again and it sharpens the scissors. But make sure you get the whole blade. You could concentrate on the bottom half first, cutting into the foil, and then the top half, if that's easier. :)

Beautiful book.

And btw- this absolutely turned out great!!! I’m also just venturing into covering books with fabric! So you really inspired me and gave me hope that I wouldn’t totally ruin it!!!

So pretty Barbara!!! On the edges near the binding if it looks luke it might fray where you cut it... just add a dab of fray check or Glue. You can never go wrong with butterflies 🦋💛🦋 such a spring like fabric. I think a pair if dollar scissors would have cut that fabric better.... lol.
