You make everything seems so easy! Especially since you do them perfectly. 😂 This really is an adorable journal. I love the size and I love the nine signatures. Hugs 🤗❤️

I love watching you work and like that you walk us through the process so minutely. I do have to remind myself that you weren't born knowing how to do this but have spent years learning. A year ago I'd never even heard of a 3-hole pamphlet stitch--I'm not perfect but improve with each journal. Thank you for being funny and serious at the same time.

I just discovered your videos and they unlocked a memory for me. When I was a kid (70s and 80s), I would draw my own lined notebook paper and then crumple it up tightly and then flatten it out so it looked old. I'd turn in my homework like that and my teacher would get so mad at me. I had completely forgotten about it. Decades later, in my 50s, I was identified as neurodivergent. Lol. Ya think?! Always loved paper and ephemera and will be making many themed lap books for future grandkids: The Botanist, The Archaeologist, The Geologist, The Astronomer, The Artist, The Zoologist, The Gear Head, The Traveler...

Wow! What an ingenious method! 🎉 I’ve tried to bind my own Watercolour paper, but its thickness makes the signatures very difficult to manage. However using multiple parallel holes means I could just have multiple skinny signatures. Thank you - thank you! 🙏🏼 I’m thrilled 😊

It sure never gets old to see you smithing books! Does not matter what kind, I love them all! Would you also show - yes, again - how you die your papers. I watched your older video, tried at home, but my papers don’t seem to gather as much color from the tea as yours do. I don’t want to put any coffee on my dye because the paper smells like cat pee when dried. I know a lot of people like the smell of coffee died paper, but for me, oh 🤢 it is cat pee smell indeed 😂😂😂

Hey Nic..thanks for this lovely, calming, inspiring video. I recently purchased a little book something like yours, and wondered how it was made. I want to make one now, but bigger, and with heavier paper so i can paint or sketch in it. I like how the paper lays flat in my purchased book, but it is thin, so only good for writing. Thanks to your simple but thorough instructions, i feel ready to do this! You are a good teacher. Thank you for generously sharing. ❤

Hey, Nik! Did you ever find that nice razor knife you lost a while back? If not, I think I know where it might be. Have you checked in the specimens box area of your 2023 lap book? You put one in there for the video... Maybe it's still there? Anyway, love your videos! Just found your channel a few weeks ago and want to make ALL THE THINGS! Unfortunately, I just had carpal tunnel surgery, so all I get to do is drool at the moment until everything is working again!

Hi Nic will be giving this a go no worries thank you for making it look so easy. Do you know what the faux leather product is called, as the faux leathers I have come across have a fabricy - feltly backing unlike the one you are using. I had a look on your amazon booksmithables but couldn't find it there. Cheers Judy

@carolinelabbott2451
@carolinelabbott2451 9 ай бұрын
Possibly. I've never tried it myself, but I was taught to sew curves using a paper template with no thread. The paper handled being punched with the sewing machine needle just fine. If you can get the thread tension right, it might work.

Great question! I suppose in certain circumstances you could. But, I think it might depend on how thick your papers and cover material are as well as how heavy duty your sewing machine is. 🤔
