I’ve been inspired again . I have made fabric.books before but each time I watch your channel I earn something new. Thank you. Chrissie. 💜🌸

Hi Chrissie, love, love, love your fabric book. LOve this and your style. It's so shabby with the old laces and trims. It's a great idea to use fabric napkins to made a book. You are so creative and your ideas are amazing. Thanks for sharing and inspirations. Big hugs Beate

Art serves the purpose of simply being. Your art work is lovely to behold.

How easy is your method of sewing the pages and concealing the backside! The quotes are inspirational so nice with the vintage photos!! Your handmade flowers ...a delight!

Okay Chrissie, you know I love your fabric books. At times we don't need to create something with a purpose. You know many of us love your creations and your PERFECT imperfections! Much love, Nery

Chrissie you sure have a gift for making fabric flowers. I see them in most of your videos and loved your tutorial on one style. Keep doing what you're doing. It's been 8 yes but i would LOVE to have you revisit how you put it together for us.

Thank you for explaining how 🤔 you you sewed each quarter to hide the threads. Your fabric book is beautiful,enjoying the process shows. I am learning to embrace imperfections.

Absolutely stunning. You really did a lovey job. Each page is a work of art.

Very beautiful fabric book Chrissie! It looks very vintage! Love the flowers and all the colors! TFS, hugs Jenny

Beautiful fabric book Chrissie! Very feminine and vintagy and love the flowers too. You cant even notice its a napkin.

It is 6 years later and I have the privilege of viewing each page of this lovely journal. Stunning.

Lovely fabric book, Chrissie. I really like the vintage tones you have used throughout. Hopefully, it won't gather dust lol ...you will be able to read those inspirational verses on each page. Well done for sewing everything on. I always glue mine, but I do hand sew the pages when joining them all together, & putting them into the spine of book. TFS

WOW!! You have done an absolutely beautiful job. I love how you do the words that must be painstakingly fiddly..... Can't wait to see what's next....TFS HUgs Shaz

SO ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! I love the bits of color and this is my dream Fabric Book!

Oh Chrissie, i LOVE your works and book always... Hugs and blessing from Chile :) Vilma XX

I absolutely love your tattered style. The combination of tattered fabrics unique layering is a style that speaks to the shabby chic that I so love. Thank you for sharing your tips in how tto sew the pages where it turns out perfect...I had the same concerns because I like to sew also. Many Thanks.

Chrissie you’re absolutely amazing such a talented amazing artist xxxx

I love this book, I have just found your channel. The reasons you gave for not starting are my very own too but I really want to make a book. I don't want it covered with expensive lace trims as you see in some videos. Your seem to have a meaning, I will be starting now you have inspired me. Thank you. Sue.

Fabulous! This gives me an idea as to how to do my first fabric/lace book. Thank you.

Everything you do is fabulous.

This is such a beautiful book, Chrissie, and I adore the way you've collaged all the fabric pieces and the color palette as well. You are most definitely not "slow"...I was stumped by that same issue as well (ie: sewing pages in)!

So pretty I love all the work you have put into this journal , I to have wondered how you don’t get stitching on the back thanks for your explanation xx

Stunning!

So very beautiful! I am going to be doing this in the future. Thank you for this fantastic tutorial! Xx

Wow Chrissie, this fabric book is stunning, love the colours of each page. I thank you for sharing your way round the construction of the book, l must say, your method of madness worked, l hope you don't mind me trying your idea, and of course credit you for it. Thank you for sharing.your idea. Hugs jude

Love love your book, would like to try one, You did a beautiful gorgeous job. Loretta

Lovely 💕

stunning

What a unique idea! You have done a wonderful job on it. You are truly inspirational and very creative.

Thanks to Kimi for sharing on G+ or I wouldn't have seen this?! I will be totally honest, I am not a sew-ist (or whatever the right word is) & not really into Shabby Chic, However when I saw your pic & because Kimi put a big WOW (lol), thought I would go outside of "my comfort zone" & watch. So glad I did! Your fabric book is beautiful! Vintage, textural - I love your felt flowers (how?) & the gorgeous images. The little pops of colour are just right to compliment the images. As to the sentiments, they are all words we 'should' live by & what you said about not being in it as a competition but because you enjoyed the process is spot on. I think we all get caught up in the whole 'comparing ourselves' etc thing & it's so not what we do our crafting for (at least not for me, she says sternly to herself, lol). Thank you for sharing your creation that I wouldn't begin to know how to do or have the patience for. Also, thank you for reminding me why I do creative things. Very very clever & as for a use? Does it need one? It will be a wonderful heir loom & something to admire!!

It's lovely, very clever how you put it together. I am making one now and I am sewing each decorated page separately and then sewing them into the book. I stitched the blank pages in accordion style and made it look like a finished book and I add each decorated page as I get them done. (Clear as mud as you say?) No pressure that way. I used a pink Victorian novel for the cover. Sometimes I just look through the finished pages and an idea comes to me for another one.

lovely, thank you for sharing!

Oh my eyes are bulging I have watched this twice now my goodness EXQUISITE work xxx

Oh Chrissie, i love it, you have to keep it, it is lovely,I am just addicted to them now, thinking of making a book case lol When i started my one i was pulling my hair out, i had a good few things hit the wall then the bin, but i kept going. Love it have a great weekend, Love Dede xxx

Beautiful, thanks for sharing

frist time i have seen your work..this is very feminine...i really love it..it looks like it takes a lot of patience and time..i am new to THE ART SIDE..learning different techniques..not sure if i have enough patience for this..SIMPLY LOVELY

Oh WOW!! Chrissie, those flowers are divine!!! Everything is just beautiful!! What a stunning dust collector you have created!! Just absolutely to die for!! TFS bnig hugs Kimi xx

Beautiful book:-)

I would love to see how you make your velvet flowers. Or if you know of a good tutorial i would be great-full if you would share.This is gorgeous, again I just love all your books and journals. tfs

Yes, gorgeous!!

GORGEOUS 💜GORGEOUS 💜GORGEOUS CHRISSIE, I 💜THIS,💜💜💜

Hi Irene, thank you for your lovely comment. Chrissie :)

Welcome to my channel Susan and thank you for spending a little bit of time with me in the Attic. I am so glad you enjoyed my book and that I was able to give you some inspiration. Good luck with your book. Chrissie :)

Hi Dede, thank you for your kind comment. I have been over to your channel and looked at your amazing fabric book too and hope you enjoyed making it as much as I enjoyed making mine. TFW Chrissie x

Just GORGEOUS, as is everything you create and if you can't figure out what to do with it, pls let me know, hee hee!! xoxoxo

I absolutely adore your fabric lace book. It's one of my favorites if not my #1 favorite book. I love the simplicity of it & all the details, including all of your fabric words & quotes. Can you please tell me how you did your spine & pages attaching to spine? Did you use the cardboard method or just fabric with felt sandwiched in? I want my book to open just like yours & I plan on creating a layout with two pages as well so I couldn't use the folding binding method. Anyways thank you for sharing your lovely book. I love it! Thank you in advance for any tips on the binding.

Absolutely stunning Chrissie, you figured it out perfectly, it's a true reflection of how talented you are with laces and threads! Gorgeous. I love the saying they are so perfect for each page. Did you stamp them directly onto the cloth? Patti

This is so lovely and sounds like one of the easier ways to make a fabric book. Did you sew one napkin when finished down the center and then the other and THEN sewed the two together or did you do the center stitching of both of them together? Does that make sense. I am going to try this very soon, just need to collect more laces and trims. Thanks for sharing.

oh u taught me something i did not know thanks so much

Delicious Chrissie., as always. I think it's a shame to use the linen for a base when your'e not going to see it. Did you have a particular reason for that rather than using something less precious as your base?

This is just exquisite!! I love these fabric books, I can't get enough of watching these videos. Just wondering... how you get the lady images onto fabric? Any possibility you could do a tutorial on it ? TFS

oh i love this so much linda

gorgeous and loving. you are so sweet .

p.s. I forgot to tell you my favorite pages were the last 2 :-)

I need vintage fabric bear panel

Hi Chrissie, very lovely fabric book honoring all things feminine & wise. Tfs Kathy from Boston. If you are on Face Book you might like to check out "Queen of Your Own Life " page. It has lots of vintage photos & sentiments similar to what you & I love. ((hugs))
