Hi creative friends! So I've got a huge crush on the Turn-of-the-Century Ledgers that I design earlier this week and decided to make more. When I did I discovered some fun enhancements and maybe a little caveat to avoid. I want to share these with you so you're armed when you make your own!
HERE'S THE ORIGINAL FULL TUTORIAL for making these fabulous tall ledgers. ruclips.net/video/WhXoIXtJrXk/видео.html
And here's the Baker's Ledger: ruclips.net/video/rzlA0iYjegI/видео.html

I love how your bread journal came out… Could you tell me where you got the paper that you used on the first pocket page? It's like a denim blue on the back and then a very delicate blue/green vine on the front. I've been to your Etsy shop, hoping that you sold that digital kit, but I can't find it. It is so beautiful. Thanks!

    I have the same sewing machine that you mentioned. I didn't know it could sew this many pages. If the seam gets wonky, put the signature under the foot, then lay down some washi tape as an edge guide - on the right-hand side - on your machine. Then, use that as a guide.

    I agree about not using a metal ruler with a rotary cutter. Invest in an acrylic ruler like quilters use. They come in many sizes, and make cutting perpendicular to the surface much easier. Also, try not to “saw” with the blade. Just start at the bottom and make one long cut pushing away from yourself. An acrylic ruler will make this so much easier. Love your instructions!
