Helpful blog, I’ve bought a boring desk diary this year, now off to cover it! Thank you 🙂

Hi Heather
I am really glad that you have found the blog useful. As I said to Judith in my reply to her, I would suggest for your first attempt that you buy a cheap diary. Don’t use your best fabric – use a cheap one first of all. Try following the instructions that I have given (if you can!!!) and if need be, watch a tutorial on YouTube for a bit of back up help.
I would really love to see your finished results Heather if you can post it onto the blog….but be warned, once you start covering books it becomes very addictive!
Regards, Jo x

Brilliant, not something I would have done in the past but you have had this task so simple, I should have a go.

Hi Judith
So glad that you liked the blog, and is now something you are willing to give a go. I would suggest for your first attempt that you buy a cheap diary (the ones from the shops where that you pay literally 99p or £1 for. Don’t use your best fabric – use a cheap one first of all. Try following the instructions that I have given (if you can!!!) and if need be, watch a tutorial on YouTube for a bit of back up help.
Let me know how you get on Judith,
Regards Jo x

Thank you for your kind words Sue……I am a Tilda freak. There are Tilda makes all around the flat!

I love to start by choosing the central fabric which can showcase nice large patterned design as you will need 10″ square of it. You can then use the same fabric…
