Can we just appreciate how well and beautifully she binds and create sketch books 🤌🏼✨

What a joy it would be for a watercolor artist to receive this beautiful, beautiful sketchbook. Thanks for bringing us along.

....binding the signatures directly into the cover spine.... thats amazing😮😮❤❤❤

It is so beautiful. I paint, and I really wish I could afford one of your unique creations. Your channel has deservedly grown so much in such short time. Congratulations. Your skills have truly reached soaring highs. You’ve worked so hard for it. I hope you continue to post. I was hooked to your channel from the beginning. Thank you for sharing.

Absolutely stunning work! Would you ever consider doing a close-up tutorial on the spine binding? I would love to try it. I enjoy bookbinding and always appreciate learning a new stitch. Thank you!🙋‍♀️❤️👏🧵🪡📚

Wow. A piece of art in itself. Amazing work.

Love your videos and especially your studio supervisor ❤

Τhank you! Clear, tidy, precise instruction, perfect timing, harmonious!

Una maravilla de Sketchbook, la encuadernación del lomo con la costura es espectacular, 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Can’t say enough about your channel. I’m an author. I use shaving brushes, hammer dies, pizza boxes. I’m just a beginner.

The angled stitching on the outside makes a really lovely addition to this cover bound book. So gorgeous. A couple of questions for you from a very novice bookbinder... did you design the stitch pattern yourself? Also, I noticed that you didn't guillotine these pages, were they trimmed before you started stitching or just left to fall where they may after stitching?

This was SOO Beautifully done!!!!👏👏

Another wonderful and beautiful job - I really like the quiet/no ad format. Once again I like to sketch and this book would make me somewhat nervous to actually use! Thanks for a good video.

aaah this is my dream vid! I'm finishing up my third book all because of your beautiful videos. the first was a soft felt shell with blanket stitch, then a larger scrapbook just like this (my first hardcover- ahh!) and now I'm completing a hardback journal. you are such an amazing teacher, I can't wait to read your book! edit: and that STITCHING PATTERN! I'm utterly in love!!! that has to be my next attempt

Absolutely STUNNING!!! This is my first time visiting your site and I'm so very impressed. Your work is outstanding and I can't wait to give this project a try. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. 🪡😊

Amazing and such beautiful craftsmanship. 🤩

I’m interested in when your book is to be released. I love watching you work and you have inspired me to be more reflective as I do my books.

Beautiful,meticulous work.👍🏾❤️

Muy hermoso ❤❤❤❤

Most excellent!

Lol. When you put down the bed for your dog and she laid down on it, I said, "Good girl!" as if she was my dog and right here in the room with me! 😅

I love these types of videos!! But I am curious, when it comes to the cover; how much space do you typically leave between the spine piece and the cover Panels?

Lovely work as always! Where is the painting paper from?

Love this spine design. Do you pierce all or some of the signatures while sewing? I saw you using an awl now and then.

hi i love your work. what kind of shipboard you use?

What kind of paper is it and where do you get it? Thanks!

Hi, where do you get the book board ? Lovely video

Hello, Can you please tell me where you got the metal strip you used to measure the gap between the cover board and the spine at minute 4:54?

This question is off topic, but is your dog a rescue?

won't the pages tear out/wear out easy with so little actual stitching holding them in?

What paper are you using?

That pickle threw me...

🤗🤗❤❤🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

For painting sketchbooks, you should wear gloves cos the oils from your hands will negatively impact the sketchbooks's ability to absorb painting and drawing mediums.

What an absolutely beautiful binding ❤

Have you ever used adhesive vinyl paper on a book cover? I picked some up today and tried it on a scrap of chip board. It went on really nice and smooth. No glue mess.

That is a really cool design! Very nice!

Wow, I never thought you could do a long stitch variation on a hardcover! That's so cool! Your sketchbook is so elegant and classy, I love it.

Very attractive!

Hello, your notebook is amazing, I love it. Can you tell me what type of paper you cut at 4:11, is it paper or fabric? I want to know the name? Pls ☺️

Have you try lay-flat book binding, that perfectly flat when opened? And for me i have try it and it's so good but really time consuming and some pages have little tape on it. And it's not perfect too because i want it to finish it early and because i want to start using it.

Votre présentation est efficace , et sobre . j’adore! ❤J’apprécie beaucoup la douceur de votre vidéo . On se retrouve un peu hors du temps et c’est très apaisant . Merci pour ce beau moment de partage . Ce serait parfait si on pouvait avoir plus d’informations sur le matériel que vous utilisez, je pense notamment à cette toile (verso et papier recto) que je ne connais pas . Merci pour tout

Giirl you're amazing i get inspired by your video and i learned more about binding books so i get started my project by your ideas so can i do my business with your inspiration videos?

I see you put an elastic band on your journals. Could you tell me where you get them?

Stunning, absolutely stunning… Karen Meltcher ☺️💜

I have always wondered if there is a reason why the cover cloth always goes over the spine clothe? I never see anyone do it the other way round.

Now THAT's what I'm talking about! Beautiful to see the stitching on the outside of a case bound book. ❤

Awesome work.

❤❤❤
