Most quilters I know have scrap collections. Since we tend to acquire fabric that we love and cherish, it can be difficult to throw out our leftover scraps. A great way to use up our leftovers and a fun scrap-busting project is making scrappy bindings! HERE ARE A FEW STRATEGIES TO HELP YOU DECI

Binding Basics Post #3 Above you'll find all the links to previous binding posts. Included in this Post - How to make a scrappy bias binding from leftover pre-cut strips Up next... how to bind curves! -- Have you ever needed to make a bias binding but you don't have enough fabric? I needed to make a bias binding but the only thing I had left that matched was a few jelly roll strips. Now if my project didn't have curves I could have just pieced them together, but since I needed a bias binding I had to come up with another solution. 1. Start by figuring out how many strips you'll need to make your binding. Determine the length of binding you'll need to go around your project. Then follow the formula below/ Binding Length / 40 = X X + 1 = # of strips you need. For my project I used 5 leftover jelly roll strips. 2. Sew the strips together with a 1/4" seam and press open. Offset each strip by approximately 2" to avoid waste in cutting. 3. Use the 45° angle on your ruler to trim the ends off of the strip set. If your ruler doesn't have a 45° angle you can use the marks on your cutting mat. 4. Turn the strip around and begin cutting your binding. I cut my strips at 2.25" wide. 5. Continue cutting along the entire strip. 6. Match the ends and sew them with a 1/4" seam. More details are in post #1. Press the seams open. Repeat to create one long strip. 7. Press the strip in half WST to finish the binding. 9. Roll the binding up until you are ready to use it. This method can also be used with leftover bias binding strips of any length. Make sure the scraps are the same width & piece the ends together as shown in step #6. If some strips are longer & you want a scrappier look, cut them into multiple pieces or create a small strip set as shown in step #2 Coming up next I'll show you how to apply this binding to inner and outer curves. © 2011-2022 Julie R.

What??? Tutorials! Tutorials are everywhere! Artists in Blogland has a monthly "Techniques on Tuesday" tutorial going on. The challenge over at Inspiration Avenue this week is to share a tutorial. Every Tuesday, Kristin Dudish has been doing a tutorial try-out and inviting others to try it too and link up. Carolyn Dube's Gelli Plate class is up and running with lots of great tutorials. So, I decided to do one as well. I love books! As you know, lately I've been loving altering old books. Recently I got a this book: and decided to try the simplest one - the X Book! This was so much fun, and easy to make. The instructions in Alisa's book are very clear and easy to follow, although I do recommend folding and cutting a blank sheet of paper before doing your project. To give you a sense of how user-friendly the book is, here is how Alisa portrays the folding and instructions: Best of all, the book is on sale right now at Amazon! You can see more on Alisa Golden's website and blog. (Here's another You Tube tutorial on the folding process, if you need some more guidance, and a "hands free" one with a slightly different take.) Of course, I had to add my own spin to it -- adding in journaling cards, inclusions and tags... Thank you for visiting! I read and treasure every comment and will answer any questions as quickly as I can. Linking to Paint Party Friday, Art Journal Everyday at Balzer Designs, and Creative Everyday. Hope to get around to visiting everyone this weekend!

In this video tutorial you can learn how to do a 4-hole Japanese binding. This is the basic traditional method of Japanese bookbinding ( or stab binding ). Stab bindings allow you to make books that are not possible with other bindings. For instance, in a pamphlet-stitch book, each leaf, or page, cannot have a different color. But in a stab-bound book , you can use scraps of different weights, textures and colors as long as they are the same size or can be cut to the same size. This is the perfect project for someone looking to try a scrapbook or family memento book!

I used scrap materials to make these books - everything was destined to be landfill (with two small exceptions). I used scraps of mat board to make the covers. The peach book has my handmade paper on the covers - which was made from paper scraps. For the blue book, I used a fabric remnant to make some book cloth for the cover (exception number one: the cloth was backed with mulberry paper and the mulberry paper was new). The paper used for the pages in these books, all came from the scrap box. So a lot of the pages have some printing or images on one side. The pages are a mix of some blank papers cut off from larger projects, graph paper and lined paper from old notebooks, as well as pieces cut from old maps, card stock scraps, old photocopies, misprints from the computer printer, notebook covers, paper cut down from large envelopes, etc. Both books are bound using an exposed chain stitch sewing - four needles for four rows of chain stitches. I believe this is the Ethiopian style of chain stitch (rather than Coptic, which is the one-needle style...please correct me if I'm wrong on this). I used two colours on the peach book to get the fun stripy thing happening (exception number two: the linen thread was new).
Bonjour à tous, Voici ma version de la reliure...l'utilisation des vis. Je les ai laissées visibles, parties intégrantes de la déco ultra clean, mais il existe aussi des techniques pour les cacher. voici quelques explications Pour réaliser les 2 parities de couverture, découpez 2 fois un carré de 12x12cm et un rectangle de 2x12, assemblez les en laissant 3mm entre les cartons pour qu'ils se plient facilement. entièrement recouvrez les entièrement de toile (recto et verso). Dans ce même tissu découpez 2 petits rectangles pliez les et collez les pour faire 2 languettes Réalisez les trous dans les cartons recouverts et dans les languettes pour passer les vis Assemblez le dos couverture, les vis et l'un des cotés de chaque languette coupez les papiers en rectangles de 12x16, pliés à 12 puis à 14 réalisez les trous dans les papiers pliés et passez les dans les vis posez le dessus de la couverture et fermez les vis et voici ..... le mini dans son intégralité. La couverture habillée d'une photo mosaïque pour changer un peu, de la mousse 3d pour donner du volume et le titre découpé dans de la mousse recouverte de papier, pour donner un effet relief vue du dessus....pour la structure et les pages où j'ai laissé une large place aux montages photos Voila, j'espère que cela vous plait, n'hésitez pas à laisser un petit com ;o) Belle journée
