What a great idea!! Thank you for the tutorial 😊

Love your video's. You are a great instructor!

I love your tutorials! Thank you so much for sharing! Moms inspiring moms!

Very nice project . Definitely going to try . Great instructions.

Beautiful! I can't wait to make some! Thank you for taking the time to teach this project.

Now I know what everybody is getting for Christmas. I will add a fabric matching bookmark with a pocket for glasses and pen. So glad I found this. I was stressing so hard on what to make everyone ... Thank you do much. I subscribed

I like this more than the one with binding. I think I could make this one tidier. Your tutorials are great, Thankyou

Really helpful - I've now made 2 quilted book covers following the tutorial each time Thank you.

Such a great video. Thank you soo much for all the fetails!!!

Thank you for helping me find this tutorial!

This tutorial is very well done! Thank you. I'm going to make this for my daughters journal.

Great tutorial. Thank you for teaching!

Love your tutorial, great job!

Awesome tutorial! Thank you so much!

I would suggest adding a narrow fabric loop to hold a pen. Maybe take one more mini square, fold it in half, open it up and fold both sides into the fold, and then fold in half again before stitching along the fold. Insert this loop when sewing around the exterior edge.

Oh great idea!

Great tutorial, TFS!

Great tutorial! Thank you.

Gorgeous!

I love it... Its awesome and my daughter loves it too!!!😄😄

Ok so I made 2 of these today the first one was a minor fail but the second one is so stunning I don't want to give it away 😆. Thank you again for the tutorial

This is so cute!

Very lovely. Thanks.

LOVE how precise and neat the completed book cover turned out. Your video makes me want to learn how to operate a sewing machine so I make things customised to my needs and rely on purchasing something that does not work. I am impressed with the precision and steadiness you demonstrated. Being a painful perfectionist this was a a satisfying tutorial to watch for entertainment and to learn from. I don’t know anything about sewing machine or sewing related, but you this look extremely easy. I can use these covers for my expensive text books. I was search for book covers like the one you made on Amazon and etsy, and boy they are extremely expensive ranging from $25 to $50. Thank you, Many wishes and best regards to you and your family, From Edmonton AB,

I’ve made four of your other journal covers (with binding). Will try this next…

So cute! Ty!

Well done!

Thanks ♥️

great！

Love it 2 cute

Beautiful project 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 love these patchwork sooooo muchhh and can't wait to make myself one ❤️❤️❤️ thanks a bunch for teaching us 😚😚😚

When I make these, I add elastic on side to hold a pen or pencil.

Great tutorial. I just tried making one to cover my happy planner. Let's just say, it didn't work out and leave it at that. lol I'll try again though!

Sorry! Not sure which part didn't work, but maybe you need to give a little extra width due to the spiral rings.

Erica Arndt It has nothing to do with your directions, more with my sewing skills and measuring. It was a little big and too floppy. It might work when the planner is full and chunky though. 😀

Hey Erica! Another great idea! I wonder...what are the pros & cons of approaching this project as a QAYG ???

@erica_arndt

2 жыл бұрын

I think you could do a QAYG if you really wanted to, but I would probably sew the rows together first, otherwise you would have to stop your seams 1/4" from each end to add the new square each time. That sounds like too much work to me, so I think traditional piecing would be easier for this patchwork layout. So I probably wouldn't do QAYG unless you want to make it more scrappy like this potholder: kzread.info/dash/bejne/epqik5WEgsitc7g.html

Great video. I think I am missing the tutorial for the button...can you show me how to get to it?

How do you know what size it will be when you are planning out the pattern for the patchwork bit?

What was the measurement after you trimmed it? Thanks!

With something this small would you think it would be okay just to use straight pins to hold the batting in place?

Possibly, I tend to like wonder clips for binding because it's kind of bulky :)

How would you add a zip around for a bible cover/tote? I'm having a hard time finding a pattern to fit my bible that is 3" deep, 10" tall and 7" wide.

I know this video is super old but do you like that cut and press mat? I have limited space and am considering getting that in lieu of a full on ironing board, or is there a better option? I already have a normal self healing mat. TIA ❤️

Hi! I LOVE IT! I have a new ironing board now and love that one too, but the cut n press mat is great! Especially for quilting, it's a bit denser than regular ironing boards so I think it helps give you flatter seams. Here's my new DIY Ironing Board: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nX2mzKOiqMKclrA.html

Thank you very much for your video. And could your tell me how do your very nice ... bracelet Thank you Odile

Has anyone tried to use this for a 3 ring binder?

Can you please share how long it took you to make this? I am hoping to make them for my kiddos or one for myself if it takes a bit of time. What kind of sewing machine are you using in the video?

+Moe Butler This one took about 2.5 hours to complete, but I think it depends on if you sit down and do it all at one time, or if you're sewing between other activities in your life :) I use a JUKI G-210 and LOVE IT!

What size are the fabric squares you are using?

It depends on the size of the book you're covering. I used 40 squares in this tutorial.

What size ruler are you using, want to get one please?

Could you put an elastic and button on before you stitched the whole project together? I can't see why it wouldn't work but just thought I'd ask in case there is something I'm not thinking of.

Hi what batting do you use.
