The Beginner's Guide to Making a Fabric Book: Part #1: Book Structure | Learn how to Sew a Book | Sew With Me
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Today, I offer the instructions and procedures for creating a fabric book. I'll show how to create the book structure, the part that holds the book together using batting or cotton fabric. You can make the book in any size, with any number of pages, using the class instructions.
Create your own #fabricbook and join me for various techniques to create the pages in future videos.
Step (as shown in the video):
1. Make Cardboard Template for the book pages and spine.
2. Choose the fabric for the structure, batting, flannel, or other cotton fabric.
3. Cut out the fabric, as shown, with the desired number of pages, a cover, and a spine.
4. Gather the pages in pairs and fold them in half.
5. Stitch pairs together down the fold.
6. Stitch pages to the spine.
7. Stitch the spine to the cover.

Coming soon! I will create a video showing how to add a cover and spine to the existing structure. Stay tuned. Thanks for commenting.

Not for this year…too little time …. But I would like to make Christmas junk journal type fabric book for grandchild… not sure how to incorporate pages from Lille Golden book Into a fabric book ….

@DanielaMellen Жыл бұрын

That's a good question, how to combine paper with fabric.

@LisaLisa-zl9vu 6 ай бұрын

So at 5:18 when you sew the signatures to the spine, are you sewing them in sections to the spine beside one another 'stacked' or one signature stacked on top of the next ? I'm guessing sewing the signatures lined up beside one another within the spine lines? Sorry if it doesn't make sense! And you make the book and then stitch pages or is this only a demonstration but preferable to embellish pages and then assemble the book? I'm sooooooo tempted to make one.

@DanielaMellen 6 ай бұрын

The quick answer is YES! You had it correct on all counts. The signatures are lined up beside each other and each signature is sewn to the spine. (You can add multiple pages to a signature, if you want additional pages.) And YES, I prefer to stitch the pages and then assemble the book - but of course, there is no wrong way to do it. I like being able to stitch pages back to back, so that the knots, and inevitable tangled thread, doesn't show. But, then again, there is nothing wrong with showing your work, or glueing a felt background to the page if you like.

@suheeraahmed Жыл бұрын

What was the material you recommend

@DanielaMellen Жыл бұрын

I use material with some weight to it, like flannel, batting, or a thin quilt (to repurpose). You will attach the stitched pages to this structure.

@patriciapeterson5598 Жыл бұрын

I think you could have shown more of how to attach subsequent pages to the spine. It’s not clear to a true beginner

@DanielaMellen Жыл бұрын

There are other videos in this series on how to make this particular fabric book. I have other videos on making other fabric books, as well, that may help add additional pages.
