So cool! Can’t wait to try this! I got a sewing machine for my birthday and have been experimenting with journal sewing, so this might be a good challenge for me. I’m 73 and my goal since retirement has been to learn something new every day and you have taught me many ways to fill my pages. Thank you for taking time to show us the little details that make our crafting special and fun.❤

Happy belated birthday and the good thing about this one is that it’s tough to go wrong…. No mistakes! Thank you and happy creating.

Such a fun pocket, friend! Love it! It reminds me of my raggedy journal covers and I think it would be really cute to put a matching pocket in a journal with the raggedy cover. Great project! My project will air on Wednesday’s video. I’m going to do the #LittleBitsofLace2024 each Wednesday after my Margarete Miller Challenge. So excited about this! Love and hugs to you, dear Cori! ❤

Thank you and yes, if you look just a few videos back I share how I make that type of spine.

This is so adorable! I have to give it a try! Since Santa brought me a small beginners sewing machine, I have a very beginners question. 😂 When you first sewed the small pieces of lace on the card in lines, did you just sew all the way off the ends of the card? Or did you stop when you reached the end each time and back stitched a little? I ask because it looks as if it was sewn all the way each time with no back stitching. Not until the final, all the way around stitch. Sorry most people probably know this already 😂. Thanks! Hugs 🤗❤️

@CoriDahmen

For the sake of ease and speed I sewed all the way to the edges and a bit beyond. I knew I’d trim it down and sew along all the edges once the lace was adhered, which also captures the cut ends of the long-stitch threads. It saves a lot of time and thread that way. Happy creating!
