I've been wanting to make one of these, and here you are, Barbara. Thank you for sharing the tutorial. 🙂♥️

I worked right along with you... big big thank you!!! It was something I have never done before! So loved zero measurements required, no fancy cutting tools, works on all kinds of paper including light paper! Small project yet, with decorating can keep my focus and expand my creativity for a day or more if I desire. Unlike regular book page pockets, the possibilities for decorating is massive. It is also very interactive once completed. This checked all the boxes for me! Highly suggest for all newbies who want to take their art journals or altered books to the next level... I truly felt I had finally leveled up AND I had everything I needed to create... for cheap to free without having to invest in anything new! I feel inspired to make several. Also plan to make a few to give as greeting cards for Birthdays, Thank you's, Valentines, etc... I have been watching tons of pocket videos, this is the first one that truly was unique. I was getting bored with the same old same old pocket making... so again, thank you so much!

Hello! Your “mistake” on the square added under the flaps makes folks notice there is something good under the flap, so you did good!

Vintage beauty! I like the way you hold things up close to the camera so your subbies can see!! Like the double pocket in the middle section. I put a small memo pad in mine.💕🐬

Thanks so much Judy for the inspiration for this pocket! I love it so much! I’m happy you enjoyed this video! ❤️

I like the "mistake". It gave it more texture & added to the tuxedo feel. So pretty!

Such lovely pockets. Love the neutral color palette.

Lovely, Barbara, as always

Love all the pockets, might be nice to send out in happy mail too... Lovely 😊😊🧡💜💛

Stunning !!!!

I love this idea!!! It's a wonderful template even for book pages!!!

Love this pocket so much! Another way to use it is to glue back side to the page and you will have fun flips to open. Also I usually keep inside center for journaling, then it is less bulky and this is a kind of spot for secret journaling.

Delighted to have found yout channel and website today!

I love this, all of it, just as is! Here is also a thought about the hinge. The trifold can be hinged farther in on the page, you don't have to hinge it on the edge of the signature. Play with it and see what you think. And I think your boo boo with the bottom edge of the half fold writing squares look really cute peeking out. It makes it look like the tuxedo has a double lapel. Very snazzy! Thank you for another great video!💗

I'm rewatching your video. I already made several of these (using A4 paper for a 10*15cm journal) and I absolutely love them. I put them in the middle of the signature and then sewed the signature in the journal. You can make neutral ones and decorate once you know what you want to put inside... Thanks for the inspiration!

Bc i have been seeing johanna clough have been posting a couple of videos talking about her softcover journals, and i was really interested in that topic.But i Didn't really find much information by searching, and i thought commenting you about it,so you may help;But i think it will be so awesome if you do a video about it! ~loved your video about today 's topic,the end result turned out awesame!

If you fold your corner pockets in instead of cutting them off at the diagonal, it would give you a stronger pocket edge. Just a thought

Oooh, this is such a good idea! I'm using actual antique music, and it's already super thin. Having a reinforced edge will really help keep it from tearing, especially since it's a functional ite. Taking things out and putting them back in will take a toll. I think I'll also fold the top down and glue it, too.

I think you illustrated the making of this project better than the Rose lady....I’ve seen Angela’s, too, she explains the project well, too. Thanks for sharing..always enjoy your tutorials.....😻
