I just love that watercolor butterfly fabric!!! So beautiful!
Love your fabric and it turned out great! Fabric is tricky to work with ! Love the corner, too! Can’t wait to see more! 😷🤗🥰❤️ thank you dear Barbara
I really like that you are sharing some options and not just the fabric and paper you actually choose, it sparks my imagination to see alternatives! I love your final choices and the book turned out lovely! 😍 Looking forward to the May planning!
You made it look so easy! The cover is beautiful and I can’t wait to see what else you come up with!!!!!🌸🌸
Thank you Angela! You can do it too! 😃❤️
I am so jealous of that fabric!!! Beautiful choice for the book.
That turned out great! You can also just tie it with a ribbon, instead of adding anything permanent.. Love it!!
This turned out so beautiful!! I love the tiny bit of lace poking out of the spine. And the metal corner protectors (?) look so good!! Can’t wait to watch this journal progress!!
The cover is beautiful you’d never know it was your first time
Lol glad I'm not the only one who buys things and forget why! Lovely cover😍💖
😂😂😂 thanks! ❤️
I love this cover ,
It looked very easy. However, you did a very professional job. It is perfect! WOW! Absolutely love it. Can’t wait to see the papers.
Aw, thanks so much Carol! ❤️
Wow 🤩 that fabric is gorgeous and I love the inside papers too.
This will be such a beautiful planner.
Hugs
Maud
Beautiful fabric cover. Wonderful job!💚💚💚
Beautiful! Love how you wrapped and finished the spine edge
I look forward everyday, to seeing what you are creating. I am never disappointed in what you do. Thanks for sharing your beautiful creative ideas with the world! ❤️ all the things you are doing!
Aaaaw, thank you for your kind words! ❤️☺️
The fabric you picked is beautiful! You did a great job covering your new planner 💕
Love it, for the closer you could also punch holes and use eyelets . That would look nice
Hi Barbara, you did a marvelous job adding fabric to a book. Love your choice of fabric and I agree with you orange isn’t one of my favorite colors either. Take care and stay safe. Hugs. Theresa
Thank you Theresa! ❤️
Barbara, this turned out so pretty. And that little detail of the lace at the top and bottom was just perfect addition. I’ve used book corners before and did have to add a touch of glue but they were smaller then the ones you used. Always enjoy your videos. TFS! ❤️
Thank you Pam! ☺️❤️
Hello Barbara, what a find today. I am busy with a journal for a newborn and was wondering how to do the cover. WELL, you heard my cries for help and VIOLA, you were covering your new book. Thank you soooo much, now I know what to do and how to do it. It seems quite an easy process, but with me, you never know!!!!!. Perhaps glueing the cat to the cover !!!! LOL. ANYHOOOOO, thank you again for the inspiration and encouragment, you are a STAR. I also love the other materials, especially the wine one, although also not a big drinker, the labels are very cute. Hope you are well and keeping safe, Blessings and hugs as always from Cape Town. Diana
Thank you Diana! I’m so happy the timing worked so well for you! Have fun making yours! ❤️
I haven't followed the making of a planner before; I would love to use a fabric to cover a book. I love love love this book cover, you made it look doable. As always Barbara, Thank you
Thanks Danuta! You can do it too! ❤️
This was so insanely helpful to me. I'm into embroidery and have been trying to figure out a method to cover journals with fabric I've done some on but it's been an absolute disaster until this video, so thank you so much. I'm so inspired!!! 💙
Yay! Have fun! 😊❤️
This is beautiful - I love that fabric!
Wow!!! How very lovely!!!!!
As always girlfriend,”You Rock.”❤️
Aaaaw ☺️❤️
Very well done but I expected nothing less. Just fabulous.
Aw, thanks Sheryl! ☺️❤️
Barbara this is wonderful!! The cover is gorgeous and I learned stuff, like covering the inside covers AND their facing pages and stuffing the fabric into the spine AND to put the crocheted lace in as well (in the color I voted for, I might add). 🗳😁👍
For various reasons I've not been BuJo-like I used to, and while it helped me greatly and I miss it I've kinda lost my enthusiasm for the way I did it in the previous years. I saw your prep video for April tho, and it was veerrrry appealing. I have some time yet to consider, maybe I'll join you for your new book.
Love you sweetheart, mom. Muah muah! 😘❤🌞🌵😘
Thanks mom! 😊 I’m happy you learned something new! ☺️ I would love it if you would give this a try! ❤️
Lovely remodel!😊❤
Adding the lace into the spine really adds to the look of this gorgeous cover. I appreciate you showing several of your options for fabric and paper and giving your reasons for choosing or not choosing each one. I like to know the thought that goes into choices being made because it helps me see things I may not have noticed on my own.
I think the fraying of the edges on your fabric is so very pretty, and covering it with the paper seems such a shame. I know you said this is your first fabric cover, but have you ever seen or heard of anyone putting the paper on the inside cover first and then gluing the outside fabric on top of it? I know it sounds strange, and I am sure there is a good reason why it is done the way it is, but I do love the look of that frayed edge so much. I may give it a try and see what happens.
Thanks Jean! I’m glad seeing the thought process was helpful. I have never seen putting the paper under the fabric. Let me know how yours turned out. I guess most people prefer the neater look of not seeing the fabric edges...
I loved the way you place the fabric cover on. The cardstock is so pretty too! The bookends totally made it perfect! Tfs🦋❤️
love that fabric picking the fabric is the hardest part for me but your choice is [erfect
Love this cover ! It’s very pretty! Bravo on a job well done!
Your cover is absolutely beautiful. I love the fabric and the corners. Thanks . Looking forward to seeing the rest of your journey.
Thank you Paulette! ❤️
You did a great job covering this book, the headbands are just a perfect detail, great job! I love the fabric choice too! ❤️
I have some denim so I may have to try this! Looks so easy when you do it! 💕🥰
Thanks Pam! You got this! 👍🏻😃❤️
Love all the fabric and the one you choose
Love how it turned out! Gorgeos fabric!!💖
I loved the cover so much..one can never go wrong with flowers..the theme, the lace and the texture all sums up to be absolutely enchanting and stunning!😊
Hope you have a peaceful day!😊🌸
I love how this turned out, Barbara! Hugs!
Looks like fun❣
The fabric choice is beautiful. 😘
Perfect, you seem to glide through new experiences in book making
If it was me, there are heaps of things that go wrong lol
Still I have made a Ephemera holder from start to finish fabric cover🤔 not bad
Thank you
🇦🇺💐🌸
That's beautiful, thanks for sharing.
So beautiful 😍 😍
Very beautiful and finely crafted 🌸
To sharpen scissors I sometimes cut aluminum foil and it works amazing!🤩
I use fabric scissors for everything. You can sharpen them super easy at home or professionally if you wanted to. I think you did a great job for your first fabric covered book! Looks lovely!
Thank you Hannah! ❤️
What a beautiful fabric! You did a great job!
I've a few books with fabric, but always after I took the pages out. I was sitting here thinking, how is she going to do this? :D and then you did it and it looks amazing. For the tie closure you could punch eyelets into the front and back and put sari silk ribbon through each side to tie together. Gives it room for expansion. I love everything. All kinds of papers and styles. Mostly vintage though. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! I appreciate the closure tip as well 😊
Once again a gorgeous cover. :-) Thanks für sharing!
Came out beautifully!
Barbara, your cover came out amazing! I love the colors and especially the butterflies! Hope you are doing well. Have a nice week! Hugs💕
P.S. Looking forward to your premiere, have booked an Uber to get me there!!!! LOL Blessings
Oh wow! You are amazing!!! Looking forward to seeing you there! ❤️☺️
Perfect, I’ve just received some upholstery fabrics today so will be doing this, tfs as always, love it x
Perfect! Have fun! 😃❤️
This cover is beautiful!!! You always inspire me. TFS😘
Love the fabric you chose
Try cutting a bunch of times into some aluminum foil, and make sure to go the whole length of the scissors -- I cut into the foil and then fold it and into it again and again and it sharpens the scissors. But make sure you get the whole blade. You could concentrate on the bottom half first, cutting into the foil, and then the top half, if that's easier. :)
Thanks so much for the tip! ❤️
That's so pretty. Thank you for sharing the video.
So pretty Barbara!!! On the edges near the binding if it looks luke it might fray where you cut it... just add a dab of fray check or Glue. You can never go wrong with butterflies 🦋💛🦋 such a spring like fabric. I think a pair if dollar scissors would have cut that fabric better.... lol.
Thank you Laura! I appreciate the tip as well! 👍🏻😊❤️
Aye...muy bonito!😍 love it. I was also eyeing the other textile. The wine🍷 one. I kept thinking that it can be cut up to make labels or toppers with frayed eges. 😊
Beautiful💖💓💝
LOVE this fabric...you did a beautiful job w/ the cover!! 🦋❤🦋
As always beautiful work! ❤️ it!
Just beautiful love the material you used..✂️✂️✂️
Your looks perfect. Thanks for sharing 😍🌴
Absolutely beautiful! I love your work!
I absolutely love your planners! I use a typical bullet journal right now but can't hold back being creative in it and she gets really chubby...lol! I am considering an altered book planner for my next one because of yours!! Thank you for the inspiration!
Your fabric choice is beautiful!! Tough choice as they are all so pretty!!
I love how you are never afraid to try something new! The lace and the metal book corners are a perfect addition!!
She turned out absolutely beautiful and she is going to be fun to work in!!
Great job, Barbara!!
And your pliers....so cute!!
Thanks so much Kerri! 🥰 I do hope you will try an altered book! It’s just so much more unique! Let me know! ❤️
@@49dragonflies It really is a unique way to create a daily planner!! I'm in the process of completing an altered journal but it is for all my favourite recipes and I'm loving how it is turning out! I can only imagine a planner being just as (if not more) satisfying!! Can't wait to see your May monthly printables!!
Guten Morgen, wieder toll gemacht. Was für ein wunderschöner Stoff. Bin gespannt, wie es weiter geht. LG von Rosita Danke
I have missed listening to you! You make it fun!! I love that. I am behind on watching so many videos! Catching up while cleaning today. Have a great day!💜💜
I’m happy you are back! 😃 I hope my videos made cleaning a bit more enjoyable! 😃❤️
Love it 😍
That really turned out great!! I love it❤️
Ooo....I want to do this! I'll be watching. 💗 TFS🤗
Awesome! 😊
That is beautiful! Gorgeous fabric and inside papers.
I have made a fabric covered book but I took the guts out so it was a bit easier. Nice tips for the spine 😊
Thank you so much for this video! I love your videos! I look forward to watching all of them.
Beautifully done. Love it. Xx
Love how the journal turned out. Great fabric choice.❤
Hola Barbara, sind die Cover, soooo schön geworden, warte gerne auf die Seiten. Frühling ist mit dir bei mir angekommen... LG, aus Spanien
Danke Maribel und liebe Grüße nach Spanien! ❤️
So pretty!!! Thank you for sharing!! I will definitely be using your video when doing my first fabric covered journal 💕 I love it!!
wow! that was beautiful!
Nice color choices. Love book corners.
Stunning, you did a great job
Great fabric for the cover! The one I did I used fabric for the insides as well. Not a great solution so I will use papers next time! Love the papers you chose to go inside. I wasn't sure when you first chose them but then they looked just perfect!
Das Cover ist super geworden! Gerade für deinen ersten Versuch, es mit Stoff zu bekleben - wow! Gratulation, ist sehr schön geworden und ich kann mir vorstellen, selbst längere to-do-Listen in diesen Planer einzufügen, wird einfach Spaß machen ;) Danke für den kleinen sneak peek, ich bin sehr gespannt auf deine neuen Seiten. Sie sehen toll aus! Hoffen wir, dass der Frühling dann auch endlich kommt - und bleibt! 💐😊 Gaaaaanz liebe Grüße nach Wien 💕
Danke Alexandra! Frühling wäre jetzt endlich sehr willkommen! GLG Barbara ❤️
Thanks Barbara - good information and you're so pleasant to listen to and watch.
Thanks so much! I’m going to get some fabric! 🤗💕🦋
And btw- this absolutely turned out great!!! I’m also just venturing into covering books with fabric! So you really inspired me and gave me hope that I wouldn’t totally ruin it!!! But my dilemma is papers for inside! And so many of those would go with my materials I have (unsure of which yet I’m using!) thank you for posting this!
Thanks! Just go for it. I’m sure it will turn out beautifully!
Looking forward to the May freebies!
How easy did you make that look, I'm definitely giving this a go thanks Barbara. Loved the lace at the top of the spine
Thanks! Have fun with this! 😃❤️
love love love
Lovely! I highly recommend the Tim holtz scissors - they’re good on paper and fabric.
Thank you! ❤️
Looks lovely! I will give it a try. Thank you for inspiration!!
Beautiful!
It's a beauty 😍🌹🦋
Turned out great!
Sehr schön. Das Video kommt mir grad recht.😃 LG Petra
