This video was made 8 years ago, and in terms of video and audio quality, it puts many modern videos to shame. Quick, informative, crystal clear audio, fantastic video quality. It's no surprise you're the Book Binding Queen! :-) Keep it up. I love your videos. I found your channel after searching on how to make my own "field notes" style notebooks. You really get the creative juju flowing!

For about five years now, I've revisited this tutorial every time I get a new notebook without a pocket. You would think I'd remember it by now without help but I am so glad you have kept this video on YT. It's the best video for an accordian pocket I've seen. Thank you so much!
it's high quarantine season and I finally got around making a pocket for my sketchbook so... thank you. helped a lot, even 7 years later :D
I bought a dotted journal for 2024 and sadly it didn't have a pocket. I am not skilled at DIY crafts but I decided to try this and the pocket I made is actually good! All thanks to your tutorial! Thank you for this video 🫶🏻
Year seven... here I am again watching and making a pocket for my 2024 planner. I am so grateful that you kept this video up!
I have used this video so many times! Please don't ever delete it...
This a total game changer. I have decided against purchasing journals in the past that had no pocket and no elastic to keep it closed. Now that I have found your videos I know how to remedy both! Thank you for making all of this look easy and zen!
I have been watching your videos for nearly a month now--yes, I'm late to the party. However, it inspired me to make a book for my daughter for her graduation. I am compiling letters from friends, family, teachers, etc in this book and I am attempting to bind it myself using your tutorials. (I have over 65 people contributing letters to this project!) Many people have emailed me their contributions but some have hand-written their letters. I'll scan them so I can format the pages, but I want her to have the original letters also. This pocket idea may be just the ticket! I'm so glad I found this video!
Watching after 10 years - I made a paper pocket for my journal to keep photos and tickets ✨🥰 This was really easy and simple to follow. My final product was so neat! Fit everything perfectly.
7 years later still the most relevant video on this topic. Thank you so much for saving my journal!
I am proud of the book I made with your precious advice! it's my first coptic stich binding book. I finished with this book pocket and it all looks very nice. We never know what we're capable of doing until we do it ! Thank you for the clarity of the videos and the positive energy. Im looking forward to make another book for myself (this one is a birthday present for my boyfriend!) Good luck in your endeavours.
Hehe I distinctly remember watching this video when I wanted to make a pocket for my school notebook in 1st year of high school.. It's been so long, yet here I am again.. 3 years after graduating college
You have amazing talent, Sea Lemon. I am grateful for you tutorials; I've learned a great deal from them. Tonight, I made my first text block and was amazed at how well my work came out. Thank you!
Excellent tutorial / guide. Aside from making a slight modification to the size of the wings, I now have a great book pocket of my own thanks to you. Cheers!
What a fantastic video! Thank you so much for the tutorial! My bullet journal is now complete with a pocket!!
This is fantastic and just what I was looking for to add to my diary! Thank you !!
I watched this 3 years ago and made my own. I bought a new journal today and I came back to do the same exact thing
Great pocket! What I like about all of your videos is that the directions are great and they just work!! Keep the videos coming!
Im just going to glue in an envolope since im so lazy

Thanks for this, Sea Lemon! I'm going to make one of these for the back of my Art Bible. I'm excited! Love your channel!
didn’t even realize that this video was my intro to your channel years ago and now i’m obsessed with your channel and bookbinding!
hi sea lemon, just wanna say ' I LOVE YOU' because all of your book videos help me a lot on saving money from buying these expensive books, and also i am able to create the book that i want. Thank you so much again for all your videos. :D LOVE YOU!!!
me watching 10 years later...🥲❤️ But really love your videos... Sea lemon ❤❤😊
I'm binding my own sketchbook with Bristol paper because I couldn't find any other sketchbook with that paper around and I found that little pocket SO helpful in my last Moleskine sketchbook. I put a watercolor paper sheet in there to sample colors and stickers that I would want to put in or on my sketchbook, super helpful~
Great idea, can't wait to make one!
Your videos are so helpful....don't stop..loving your creative spirit
My bujo has perforated pages that have come in handy occasionally. I had a little bleed through on a sheet that I was already a little disappointed in so I removed it and made a grid spacing guide and keep it in my back pocket. I wish I had come across this tutorial before I had set up my latest bujo. It didn’t have a back pocket and I definitely wanted an expandable one. While trying to figure out how to make one, I realized I could tear the one in my new bujo out and glue it into the new one. It worked well but I wasted too much time thinking about making a new one. If I had found this tutorial, I could have made one in the time it took me to carefully tear out the old one. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Wow this looks really great! Thank You!
This was so helpful and easy to follow. Thanks so much!
Awesome! Thank you! I am using an old book, making several of these, and putting notes I take on index cards into it!
I just made a pocket using these instructions! I am so pleased with the results.
This is the absolute best tutorial for making this pocket =) The only thing I have done differently is added double stick tape then the glue stick. I learned that makes an absolutely lasting bond that will not come off, even with all my fidgeting. Thank you so much! Love your channel. My book covers came out so beautifully using your fuse, glue method, you are the best.
Thank you for sharing this dear❤️ I made it myself today for my notebook and this works perfectly!
I never thought of gluing in an envelope - lovely idea for my books x
I love your projects !
Love this idea! We travel a lot, good to make for all my "stuff!"
This was exactly what I needed! I found a very inexpensive alternative to the Leuchtturm1917 and this is all it was missing. I also liked that I got to pick a color that coordinates with the notebook's cover. Anyway, I color code the edges of my pages with those little round garage sale stickers so I can find notes quickly. I have been keeping them in my pencil case, but it's inconvenient. Now I have a neat little way to keep them handy. Thanks!
Everything was okay in my life until I saw this video. Now, all my notebooks has a pocket!! I even put one in my coloring book for paper to draw! Thanks!! You have a traumatized new suscriber!!
I love the pocket,it's very simple !
Just what I was looking for... thanks very much for an excellent tutorial!
These books are awesome, i made a couple but designed them for my school projects, so each signature has a double sided notes page, graph pages and sketch page, this is a great addition to mine although mine opens at the top and i store an eraser shield, 6 inch ruler 2small triangles and a small circle template. I bring this everywhere for when i actually have an idea
💕 In love with this & your channel! -Subscribed- 💕
Yay! Awesome video!
Thank you! Great tutorial!
I love your channel

I keep character sheets for whatever tabletop RPGs I’m currently playing when that journal is in use. Super glad I know how to make one of these properly, my last attempt didn’t end well XD

Awesome video! I just made my own moleskin using your tutorial and was looking to add the pocket. I like to tape pictures using Washi tape into my journals and wanted a place to store my photos. Thank you!! :) I love making all kinds of journals and am so glad I found your channel!
Nice idea sea lemon
Made this cool book pocket..... its very useful ❤✌
Awesome video - what a great way to save money!
very good channel and idea!

So cool! :) i will most definitely be makin that
I love you channel! Your so cute, organize, clean, fancy! I love you videos girl!
It's so beautiful Okay I'm going to make this in my bujo thank you💓
really helpful🙏❤️🔥
I just made this :-) thanks for the video!!
Awesome!
Good video! Really helpful for exames
omg I love ur videos so much! I would cry if u stop making them!
You should make a tour video showing how you set up your camera and lighting equipment for making your tutorials!!
Thanks for a great tutorial! I have an inexpensive journal I purchased for my garden journal but inexpensive means no extras like pockets!
Great video , thank you very much for sharing : )
I always love it when you get the idea, sea lemon ^.^ I'd also like to ask, how do you find the specific size of it to fit in your book? I'd be happy for answers from anyone!
Adoro suas postagens... amei...
such a good videosy just disovered you, and i really enjoy watching. :D
I tryed this and it is really useful for me to keep my things in this pocket
You always make usefull things☺😊
I glue my envelope with the opening facing the other way, and then I have a flap to prevent things from falling out. I use hook& loop dots to keep the flap shut. It's easier to get things out without opening my journal all the way 😄 Thanks for sharing your videos!
