Tutorial: Handmade Daybook With A Sewn Spine

OK lovelies, finally here it is...

my tutorial on how to make your own Daybook using your sewing machine to bind the spine!

It is very easy to put together, but if you still have any questions, feel free to email me :-)

But first here's what you'll need:

  • Paper trimmer / scissors
  • Bone folder
  • Border punch
  • Circle cutter
  • Adhesive or double-sided tape
  • Paper clips or paper binders
  • Transparency (I used a 12" x 12" piece from Fancy Pants Designs)
  • At least 5 different pieces of double-sided patterned paper (I used The Sweetest Thing Collection by My Mind's Eye)
  • Doily, tag (and any other embellishment that you want)
  • Sewing machine / coordinating thread / heavy needle (100/16 sized needle)
Step 1:
