I only seen measurements for the stitching areas. Unless I missed your more detailed measurements such as the cover size also you used gelt for. i do not mean to criticize by unless I missed something a lot of detailed information has been left out. Most importantly a list of supplies and how much fabric you used to complete your entire book. I and others I believe would find this extremely useful. Plus the finished size of you book in width, length and height. There are very few textile/fabric books on the market. Most are bookbinding books for journals and such. Anymore detailed more specific information you can share on this post and update it since it was a few years ago and I am sure your skills, knowledge techniques and experience have advanced since this post. This directions are very high level. Can you get more into the nitty gritty steps if it is not too much trouble and also if you have the time and do not mind. I know I would greatly appreciate it tremendously. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2843320141607845584.post-78369135711985467902017-10-07T03:28:50.787+05:302017-10-07T03:28:50.787+05:30Fabrics, Beads, & Threads:

It has been years & years since I have embroidered and practicing the different stitches will be beneficial, creative, meditative, & loads of FUN! I will also ask the question; have you thought of doing YouTube videos to assist us stitchers that own slow, bad memory, tragically aged brains and are having trouble understanding some of your instructions. I'm sure your instructions are perfect, however, my brain is not defined as perfect and I need HELP, please. I love your blog also.

I have a few questions, did you make the pages using muslin? and did you use some interfacing on the back of each page? <br /><br />When you joined the pages together how did you do this? I am assuming you folded over the seam allowance but then what did you do to join via the blanket stitch? <br /><br />Thank you and I am in awe of your work. <br /><br />Jodi Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05032697176871256741noreply@blogger.com
