I used it to make a Ch...Thank you for the tutorial. I used it to make a Christmas gift for my stepsister who loves to draw, and it turned out pretty cute. I did want to mention a few parts of the directions I felt could use a bit more explanation.<br /><br />1. When you advise to fold the pocket piece to create a 7.25" by 7.5" piece, and then interface it, I was confused if I was supposed to apply the interfacing to the 7.25 or 7.5 side. I read through the rest of the tutorial and never really saw you make mention of the 7.25 or 7.5 side again, so I actually ended up just folding my pocket exactly in half, thinking this would be the safest thing to do. I don’t think this caused any issues, but I think the tutorial could use some explanation as to why the halves are different, and details as to how you should position the 7.25 side versus the 7.5 side. I feel like this contributed to part of my issue in #3?<br />2. I was pretty confused by which fabrics applied to which pattern pieces, since the front of your journal actually showed all three, but then the directions for the cover appeared to be just for one fabric. I actually wanted just one fabric for the outside, but since yours showed multiple, I had to read and re-read to see how to make the change to just one, before finally realizing the tutorial called for just one outside fabric. Maybe it would help to suggest how many fabrics should be used, and term them “Fabric A”, “Fabric B”, etc.? And maybe specify that you could piece together different fabrics to equal a pattern piece, which was what you did for the front of the journal, but wasn’t actually specified in the instructions? I ended up only using two fabrics, keeping my outside/pocket flap as Fabric A, and then my lining/large pocket piece as Fabric B, but it seriously took me forever to figure out for some reason.<br />3. Once I had filled my journal in with pencils and paper, it seemed that there wasn’t enough “middle” to actually fold the journal in half properly. What I mean is that my pocket turned out to be the same width as the part I put the paper in, so they could fold in half easily when they were empty. But once I put stuff in, I found I needed extra “middle” to create almost like a book spine so that when full, the book edges would still line up well. <br /><br />Anyway, I will say that I’m mostly an apparel sewist, not a crafter, so it's likely that these mistakes were just me screwing up, but thought I would share my thoughts in case others may be having the same issues. If any of this was confusing or you have other questions, you can email me at nicolemorgan86 AT gmail DOT com.Nicole from PudgeAndNico.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14275812104010636173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955910811975954924.post-45503403074801625662013-11-20T10:15:58.957-06:002013-11-20T10:15:58.957-06:00A great christmas gift for my grand kids..
