patchwork nr. 2: heavy-stitched covers of paper + user

beautiful weather today - with you, too? establish exactly the right day to fresh tulips at home anywhere to eat in the garden - and of course scrapping :-) here is my second paper-patchwork-project - a (approximately 11 cm x 16) OCTAVO NOTE-BOOK-shell:

first I did this a rectangular piece of paper and cut the squares (29 cm, width 16 cm length) for the pattern selected and glued on. In the example, not rectangles all the same size, I thought it may still seem a little "messy" (which applies to me * laughs * for the seams) then we went to sew - this I tried the thread tension of the stitch pattern before on a paper. it is correct if the lower thread is not taken with the top and if it places on the back side seams no thread tangle.

have a zigzag stitch with whom I once sewed all around the square and then the individual pieces of paper sewn together. the cut ends of the thread, I glued on the back (there do not cut too short). on the front side, I have the thread-end-each with a small drip attached uhu-craft glue, the transparent dry. that prevents the zigzag stick aufribbelt afterwards.

after all the threads are kept, the rectangle is cut again just laterally. after that I seam to the back sides of paper pasted over, which is then later the inside of the heavy-envelope.

then I folded the two sides outside to the inside (3.5 cm):

is then sewn back - this time with a straight stitch. it should not be the stitch length is too small, otherwise the paper holes so tight that at the border tear. so, just select a random length of about 3-5. seam is then sewn one at the top and bottom edges of the heavy envelope, so that the paper rebated edges being sewn.

now oktavhefthülle in principle is ready:

so it seals well and does not remain open, they are now pressed again - preferably overnight. the press (even bound books) is great, the cuttlebug: first, it is hard enough, and secondly, the weight is distributed evenly through the flat :-)
