    You are a very good teacher. I have seen many of your tutorials and you are so easy to understand because of your clear instructions . You don’t ramble on . Well done.

    • @alandacraft
      @alandacraft  6 лет назад

      We learned early on not to ramble on. You only have to go back to some of our early videos and see how we've changed. They even annoy me when I watch them as we just spoke too much.

      I dont mean to be so offtopic but does any of you know of a method to log back into an instagram account??
      I stupidly forgot the password. I love any tips you can offer me!

      @bronsondavion466 3 года назад

      @Koa Wallace thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now.
      Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

    • @bronsondavion466

    • @alandacraft

      We haven't tried using a hard cover, Amanda. It should still work for hard covers, I can't see why it wouldn't. We just happen to buy soft covered journals.

    • @alandacraft

      Most battings should work for this. You just don't want to go too thick otherwise it will be a little bit too bulky.

    would this cover work well with a made from scratch journal, maybe with a Coptic stitch spine and cover?

    • @alandacraft
      @alandacraft  6 лет назад +1

      I haven't tried it but I cant see why not Kerry. You would have to take your measurements allowing for any extra thickness. We have the methodology for measuring a journal on the website . Here is the link. www.alandacraft.com/2016/08/14/fabric-journal-book-covers/ Would love to know how it turns out.

    Why do you recommend only softcover journals? I have a hardback and was hoping to make a cover for it... Is there another method to making covers for hard journals?

    • @alandacraft
      @alandacraft  6 лет назад +2

      If your journal allows you to bend the covers backwards then you will be okay but if it doesn't then you will have a hard time trying to get the journal cover onto it.

      Sorry. We purchased the fabric from our local Spotlight store here in Australia.It was for a lap quilt we made a couple of years ago so I doubt it would still be available.

      The butterfly fabric is from our local Spotlight store here in Australia, but I doubt it is still available. And the fabric on the other journal is from the Moda Prints Charming range.

    Can I sew this by hand?

      I can't see why you couldn't hand sew it together, Jessica I use a machine because I’m not much of a hand sewer myself (rubbish at it actually). I do admire people who hand sew their projects.

    Can you do it with bibles?

      You certainly can Daniela. Just measure the bible as shown in the tutorial. Here is a link to the website where we have the full written instructions with photos. www.alandacraft.com/2016/08/14/fabric-journal-book-covers/

    Size of ribbon

    • @alandacraft
      @alandacraft  2 года назад

      There is no standard size to cut the ribbon. It depends on the size of your journal as to how long they need to be. Here is a link to the written tutorial www.alandacraft.com/2016/08/14/fabric-journal-book-covers/
