Oh my goodness Chrissie!! How beautiful! Your books are my favorites, and I've watched hours and hours from different ladies showing their fabric books! Thank you for sharing❤❤🤗
Thank you for explaining how you sized your pages. It did make sense. And, I would have never thought of doing that so the pages were even when the book was close. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks Leanne..it is nice and squishy. Once when I shared some little lace books I made a person commented that they were like 'rag dolls for big girls' and I thought that was a perfect description. Something comforting about holding them :)
@@chrissiecrosser ... oh that is a perfect description! BTW, I would still love to purchase another journal or snippet roll from you when you have some for sale ... just saying, lol.
Chrissie, I absolutely LOVE your work! I still look through mine, (the one you made me) quite often, it's so beautiful! it's like a little "HUG" from you any time I feel it. YOU are so beautiful my sweet friend. LUVnHUGZ, Rita Donnelly
Chrissie it is a beautiful book, I made a fabric & lace book with large pockets for keepsakes for my Mother in Law, I also added a writing journal which I had to take apart & add more pages for all the stories & memories. It would have been a WOPPER of a size so I made one main journal 11X 9ish & several folders to go with it. the large journal each page I decreased a 1/4 " so they would sit nicely together.. My Next one will be much smaller but still as pretty.
Love your book, very neat, like the idea of you small projects on each page,. I’m going to try to sew one page at a time like a bookbinding, thank you so much. Your book is beautiful.🩷
Just found your channel, what a beautiful book! I didn't think of that, wondering what to do with my tags too. I'm going to try your idea. Thank you for sharing x
Thank you Chrissie for sharing your process on making your fabric book. I understood you perfectly clear. Your book turned out so pretty! ❤️ Take care and be safe
Beautifully done. Thanks so much for sharing your technique, Chrissie and thanks too to Vera for asking. Your journals really showcases your beautiful tags. Hugs C xx
Carol you over here…. Can you believe Chrissie made a video to help me understand how this book was made? and i did it, 😉👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼when she did that i remembered you helping me many times with my doubts. there are still good people in the world, you two are an example of that.🥰🥰
Oh Vera, no need to thank me. It was my pleasure and it's fabulous to be able to share. I know you'd do the same for me. I'm thrilled you made your Chrissie fabric book. I've still to do mine but I'll more than likely do it when the Journal of Stitchery project is finished and I need to make a fabric book for that. Chrissie did a wonderful tutorial for us both. Hugs C xx
Thank you Chrissie. You made perfect sense describing how you created your book. Love your book. It looks so squishy. I’m gonna make a cover as well. Not sure what I’m gonna use it for but I have lots of ideas. Thank you very much.
Thank you so much for making the video, explaining it to me, I'll try to do it hope it works😉 and I have an aggravating difficulty, I don't know how to sew ☺️ so I don't have an inner memory, to understand certain things lol I only know how to sew straight , and while embroidering ☺️, thank you again, we need more human beings like this in the world.🥰🥰
I love all your creations just beautiful talent!..Can you please advise how you give the room to the book for 3D embellishments , my books have the big V look and not regular book look? Thank you
love it love it im all thumbs lol i cant cut or see anymore perfectly to make these my daughter who is a heart patient wants one i tried and it didnt come out good so i cant give it to her next week she is having an awards from 4th grade and i know she os getting awards she would be so happy if you can make her a smaller one thank you
Thanks for watching. I hope your daughters' awards goes well. I am sorry I would be unable to make one for her though as there is many, many months of work in this book
Today I stopped by to thank you once again for your kindness in teaching me how to make this book. It worked😄 I did it hahaha, it wasn't as beautiful as yours… but it solved my problem to organize the Tags, and I loved the final result. Thank you for the attention you gave me.🥰🥰🥰🥰
Hi Chrissie, I just watched your video and this book is amazing! I want to do one and I am so excited about it! Can you please tell me what the measurements of your book are?
Hi Vanessa, thank you for your comment and have fun making your book. The measurements of my book are 20cm or 8in across and 24cm or 9.5 inches down and it is about 8cm or 3.25 in thick.
Thank you for showing this. I have made 3 books for the various Anne Brooke challenges and wish I had seen this earlier, especially about "grading" the pages. Now I am working on 2 books, one for the Roxycreations challenge and another for my little art quilting group. Your work is beautiful.
Hello Susan I am happy to hear you found it helpful. I am doing the Roxy's challenge too. What method are you going to do for your book...Rachels concertina style or the one Sarah is doing? I decided to do Sarah's method for mine.
@@chrissiecrosser I was going to do the concertina style but my pages are becoming increasinly bigger. So I will do Sarah's style and save the concertina for the other book.
That all made perfect sense to me Chrissie , I just wished I liked sewing more, cause I have always wanted to try one of those fabric /lace books you make.❤
HI Chrissie, I loved hearing you say you were pretending ironing...lol...lol and was that an ironing cloth under...lol...lol...😂 I have to ask are you going to make a pouch for your fabric book? I have watched your Playlists for everything fabric you have ever made. I decided to try a Bible cover. I have had a piece of burlap forever with birds on it. I don't know if you ever have covered a school book with a paper bag?? I used that as a pattern. I then got a new pillow case edged in lace for the inside, I did not put anything in the pillow case to stuff it...I now know what to do for the filler after watching this you tube. I guess you could say I made just two huge pages. I have been having fun with a few pieces at a time of coffee stained lace. I do not want to cover the birds. I just took my dog out and 3 inches of snow large flakes. I could hear them hitting my parka. I know yes I did say parka. I had to use a blower to get all the snow of my supper furry dog. I guess that is why he did not drop his coat this year. He is a blue and white large sheltie. He is such a snow dog...lol I think the tag in the center is my favorite tag...if it would be possible to have just one favorite. I will have to watch some of your classic boho style playlists.. Laura
Hi Laura, thanks for watching. I felt a bit silly pretending I was ironing lol!! i wasn't planning on making a pouch for the book but perhaps that is a good idea..I may at some point as I could get quite dirty being white and at least the pouch could help it stay clean. I love that you made a Bible cover and are dyeing some lace..that's great. Did you hand sew it or machine sew it? It sounds so cold where you live but I bet it is super pretty. I loved when we got snow back in New Zealand where I lived there. We won't every get it here in the sub tropics but other places with cooler climates do get snow here in Australia. I bet your doggie loves the snow. Keep warm :)
@@chrissiecrosser so far only hand sew😀I think maybe now I could machine sew after it is stuffed. My dog blends in with the snow. It was a surprise snow. I looked it up on line and it said 100%chance of snow. lol I guess they changed that right after it started to snow...lol Laura🙄
Знаете, что я думаю, просматривая подобные ролики? Мне 48, большая часть жизни позади... Иногда накатывает грусть от того, что ты что-то не успел, где-то не реализовался, что-то упустил... Наши близкие порой от нас отворачиваются, дети становятся злыми и циничными, хотя ты старался вложить в них самое лучшее... В итоге полное разочарование и тоска... Да ещё на фоне этой войны планетного масштаба!!! Хочется среди всего этого мракобесия и полного непонимания найти островок любви, покоя и умиротворения! И такими точками опоры становятся маленькие радости вроде тех, что Вы приносите в своих репортажах. Это так греет душу... Я хочу примкнуть к Вашему таланту и научиться творить подобную красоту. Спасибо, что Вы и Вам подобные люди есть на нашей прекрасной и многострадальной планете! С любовью, из России, Ирина!🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
Do you have a blank book that don't have all that stuff in it. I want to know how to attach the pages to the cover. And how are the pieces you added on the pages. Are they glued on or sewn on... thank you
Oh my goodness Chrissie!! How beautiful! Your books are my favorites, and I've watched hours and hours from different ladies showing their fabric books! Thank you for sharing❤❤🤗
Thank you so much for taking time to watch and comment
I don't know how I missed this video. Thank you so much for sharing how to do this.

Thank you for explaining how you sized your pages. It did make sense. And, I would have never thought of doing that so the pages were even when the book was close. Thank you so much for sharing.
thank you for getting really close to the material which made it easy for me to see, I usually have to squint at other sites. beautiful.
I am happy you were able to see it well and thank you for taking time to comment and let me know. 🙂
Such a simple construction... and it looks so soft and squishy! Beautifully done Chrissie, thanks for sharing.
Thanks Leanne..it is nice and squishy. Once when I shared some little lace books I made a person commented that they were like 'rag dolls for big girls' and I thought that was a perfect description. Something comforting about holding them :)

Hello Rita, lovely to have a visit from you. I hope you are well as I haven't seen you on YT for a while. So happy you still like your little book x
@@chrissiecrosser i know hun I have been on a little rest because I had surgery on my hand. Waiting now for the surgery on my other hand now.
@@GmaReezScrapShack Oh no...that would make crafting almost impossible for you Rita. I do hope it is healing and sending you a gentle hug my friend. x

Great way to store the tags 🤩
Thank you ")
Do you have a blank book that don't have all that stuff in it. I want to know how to attach the pages to the cover. And how are the pieces you added on the pages. Are they glued on or sewn on... thank you
Carolyn, if you watch my video right through I do cover all that and no, I don't have a blank book
💟
😍
At what point do you decorate the pages??
The tags were made throughout the year and I made the book to put them in so after I made the book I pinned them all in
Are you going to show how to do the squares to put inside?????
Oh no! This was a year long stitch a long project I did a few years back.
Lovely work, but it's "sliver" not slither:)
Lol!!🪱
