Now, if only my sewing teachers at school presented in the clear and calm manner that you did I may have progressed beyond where my sewing skills are at now! I've subscribed and am going to spend some time looking at your other videos. PS my sewing skills are ok, but could always do with some guidance such as I have just seen. I thoroughly enjoyed this...thank you.
@@applelover53 I'm about to use your expertise as I make my first notebook cover....wish me luck! And thanks for your sharing...I'm going to spend some time looking at the rest of what you have and I'm sure I will find something else there to do.
This tutorial was spot on, I really enjoyed your explanations and your voice is good to listen to, so I have subscribed and will watch some more, so thanks very much !!
Lovely, I wish I had patience and ability to use a machine, ( when I get past the feeding the needle etc) or even hand sewing, love these, they are really gorgeous, there’s probably a market for these for peeps like me, or those that just don’t have time.awesome xx❤️
Thanks so much Ashley, going to watch the non wadding video now, Just bought my very first sewing machine, so total novice here. Your video was extremely clear and easy to follow, even for me! LOL!
Very nice idea. I was wondering what you think of using pretty ribbon and lace sewn on a backing fabric? Thanks so much for all your hard work doing the videos.
Not sure if you'll see this, 4 yrs down the road, but 1st: Excellent tutorial! 2nd: how did you sew the strips together for the outer cover (all the purple prints)? They seem to be like a Venetian blind, over lapping lol. Do you have a video for that part? Thanks so much! :)
Hi Ashley, I loved your video. I made one right after watching the tutorial. I have one question. What would prevent the wadding from balling up if the cover is laundered? If the wadding is not actually being sewing down in the 1/4" seam?
You could add some quilting lines if you want more security, or add an extra stitch line all around the edge, for decoration and to hold the wadding in place. To be honest I was thinking about the covered being washed, but totally understand what you are saying.
Great tutorial, thanks! I'm making a padded book cover for my friend's daughter and was confused by some of the tutorials I've seen, but yours is very clear. I was thinking of doing some quilting lines, in which case the batting would need to be attached to the outer fabric. In that case I'm debating how to lay out the pieces for stitching. I think it is the same except the batting will be on the top rather than the bottom. Is that right?
Just to let you know that my project worked out beautifully thanks to your excellent instructions. My friends' vet student daughter loved her horse themed fabric padded notebook. I'll definitely be making more - thanks!
Great, mine were gifts too and they bother liked theirs. you can make them from scraps or personalise them as you did, and who doesn't need a notepad! glad you were able to follow my instructions, thank you.
Tote bag on my channel here ua-cam.com/video/TpZcnpeGkP4/v-deo.html, Book cover here ua-cam.com/video/APkQ9b1g4tY/v-deo.html, iPad case here ua-cam.com/video/UpIaRC4ztGs/v-deo.html, Double zip pocket cover here ua-cam.com/video/IKbDr6tLFgA/v-deo.html I have a janome playlist with all my sewing projects, ive made a makeup roll in the past but dont think i made a video, it would double as a crayon holder so maybe i will add it to my list of to do's
You are just Fantastic. Thank you going to watch them. Funny thing is I brought a scan n cut machine 3 years ago now and Been way to scared to use it. So saw your video's and have to brave it up and try to work mine without doing too much damage. Thanks again
All my videos are in playlist, so machine, canvas, shaped cards, beginners etc. The worst you can do is cut through your mat, and then just tape it up on the back with brown parcel tape. we've all done that you will see in some of my videos im still using a mat i got with my original machine thats 4 yrs old and all taped up on the back. have fun
No its held in place with spray adhesive and by the time its been stitched all round, turned right side out and top stitched its not going anywhere, that video is 7yrs old and the person i gifted it to, still uses it.
I'd like to cover my kids Bibles they are both different sizes. Can you tell the names of the underneath materials you used and how much bigger than the book you cut the material and what seem allowance you sewed it at? I'm new to sewing! Thanks
That project was made some time ago and was a gift so I have no idea how much bigger than the book it was. I think I would have mentioned something about it in the video. I think it was a standard size A5 (UK) notebook. I’m not sure what you mean by underneath materials, I think it would have either had wadding/batting or a fabric interfacing but again I am sure I would have said in the video. Thanks

Yes that sounds right
Quick reply, thanks :-). I'll go make it then.
Just sew it together with right sides of both fabrics together when assembling and it should be ok

Yes a great tutorial. Could you do some more of fabric crafts at some time. Thanks
What would you like to see please.
Tote bag or tablet wallets or maybe kids library bags or pencil rolls. Thank you so much

thank you great video .
Doesn’t the wadding move since it’s never really sewn down?
No its held in place with spray adhesive and by the time its been stitched all round, turned right side out and top stitched its not going anywhere, that video is 7yrs old and the person i gifted it to, still uses it.
I’ll try this
I would suggest adding a fabric loop to hold a pen.
Yes that’s a good idea
great video, wii definately try this out.

The notebook you covered was wired bound, would this also work for a disc bound notebook?
Sorry I don't know what you mean by a disc bound book, but it should work for any book
Thank you
I want to print this
