You’ve got quite an operation. A one-man shop, perfectly equipped. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, this video is just awesome! That giant roll of paper with an even bigger cutter at the end, the way you spread the glue, that brush you wielded like a pro, the fabric stamp, and don't even get me started on that cutting machine... I loved it! Keep up the fantastic work, and best of luck with everything you're doing!
Wow, I am absolutely blown away by the level of detail and precision in your crafting process! Thank you so much for sharing this step-by-step tutorial on how to make a sewn fabric journal. Your meticulous approach is stunning to anyone who watches. Can't wait to try making one myself! Keep up the fantastic work
Very interesting to watch, it looks very cute😍
Totally love this video
What a ‘master class’, words aren’t enough to describe the level, quality and precision of your operation along with the accompanying tools to bring it all together. Keep up the excellent work.
❤❤❤
Perfect perfectionism.
Wow perfact
This video made me realise why my journals look extremely amateur - I have an exacto knife and thats it LOL. The tools you are using are so impressive! Youre very talented. Thank you for putting out this video.
It's never the tools, it's practice. You can do it
Gorgeously shot and edited. I think your press has seen better days!
For sure. One day I'll make time to make a new and stronger one. In the meantime it ain't pretty but it's doing the work just fine
I've never wanted to buy a little notebook so much! I loved this video tfs ♡
that was satisfying to watch.
Amazing
That's just a cool visual process! Ty
Wow ❤
Can't wait to get mine.
I love this!
So soothing!! Little Forest would be my order soon!
Wow, Your like inspector gadget !! 😮
I love all your cutting devices! You seem to have a new corner cutter now.
Yes I do! Got it on ebay after years of searching
Such a tidy little package. I love the envelope/folder the book goes in. And oof course, mad jealous of all the gear. How often do you have to replace blades?
Man, you´re an artist, what a beautiful work! Best regards from Brazil!
Thank you very much!
I'd love to see a list of the equipment you use in the video. What cutters are those for the fabric and paper? What's the price tag? How much square footage do you need just to house those items? Where did you get your packaging? What's the thing that cuts those rounded corners? Can you build your own press for the folded notebooks? I clearly have a LOT of questions about the behind-the-scenes stuff details.
I don't sell machinery, but have links to a lot of my equipment in the FAQ on my website dappernotes.com/pages/faq
😍
Amazing! I could watch this all day!! What does that little round press do at the end (at 6:17)? *Ü*
Such a smooth process. What kind of laser printer do you use and the cutter. Need to order one of your notebooks indeed.
☺️ There's links to my tools in the FAQ on my site dappernotes.com/pages/faq
I'm watching from another country. I like watching these kinds of videos. I liked yours too. I just couldn't understand what you used as green color. It looked like plastic nylon, I couldn't figure it out. Is it fabric?
bookcloth
Awesome tutorial. Where did you get that cutter???? please!!!

@@dappernotes Thank you!
Can I ask where you found your corner rounder? What brand it is?
it's a 100-year-old machine i got on ebay. but there's links to modern versions on the faq on my site
🤤
can you tell us what that green sheet is?. Is this paper or something else
It's called bookcloth. I glue fabric to bookcloth for a nice and durable notebook cover
What was the final step involving the pencil? 7:51
It may be indicating that the paper is dot grid.
@@marsbeads Thanks. I couldn't make out what it was.
@@MacMcCaskill 👍
