I bought that paper at Michael's this morning😂❤❤❤❤and I was wondering what to make with them and your video notification came in. Its a sign of the craft Gods😍😍😍😍😍. THANK YOU
If you want to organize your threads a little better, here's what I do: I take scrap squares of cardboard or heavy weight paperboard, cut two slits on opposite sides of the square, tuck one end into a slit, wrap the thread around it (around the not-cut sides) until it's all wound up, and then tuck the other end into the opposite slit. This keeps the thread from getting tangled up, and it's super easy to stack them and arrange them by color in a container. I have a little three-drawer holder for all my sewing stuff, and they sit upright so I can easily find whatever color I need, and I can arrange them by color in a pleasing little rainbow. The only downside is it can cause slight kinks in your thread, but if you stretch them out and relax them a little before use and don't wind them super tight, it shouldn't be too much of an issue. And thank you for the paper and binding recommendation! I love them both!
you can buy pre-made cards like this in the cross stitch section (at least in Australia). www.spotlightstores.com/sewing-fabrics/haberdashery/needles/birch-50-piece-plastic-floss-bobbins/BP80126693 same idea but less DIY!
I am also a bookmaker and I love this technique which is new to me. Thank you very much for this extremely well done instruction. I just finished making 7 books made in the shape of a paper doll, and completed with stamping (hand carved stamps), gelli printing, drawing, writing, and collage using hand made paper and more gelli prints, etc. for an upcoming juried show here. As soon as I recover I am planning to make this book. It is lovely.
A beautiful idea!!! I will also say here that I did your scallop shell water color book and gave it to a friend. It was great fun. I have five more I want to make. Thank you for the book binding ideas!!! I enjoy watching your videos and tutorials. I appreciate you and your art.
Thank you so much! I have learned so much watching your tutorials. I'm putting to use what I'm learning. I've made 2 books from this one video. I'm getting old and it's nice to see I can still learn something new and can make it actually turn out ok. I watch a lot of videos and am always wanting to learn new things. You make it very understandable. Thanks again.
really into the chain stitch, and i think you chose beautiful papers and patterns that compliment one another so it's not too busy/ the journal is truly one of a kind. great job !
I've done this using multiple stacks of signatures and lines of chain-stitching within a single cover making a fairly thick book that way. It looks nice when using a different color paper and matching thread per signature to make a rainbow effect. I was just thinking about you and your dad last night then saw this video listed today. I hope all is well.
If you only knew what a lifesaver this is for me. I cannot for the life of me sew in signatures in journals. They're always wonky. This is so cute and simple n fun. Thank you Jennifer
your instructional videos are really great and easy to follow. I have recently started bookbinding as a hobby and have learned so much from your videos. Thank you for making this great content for people to learn and enjoy!
So I didn't have any book repair tape, but I tried an alternative and it seems to be working! Use heat n bond ultra hold, like you're making book cloth, but don't iron paper onto the back side. Iron it directly onto the front and back, and wrap around and iron it onto itself like the tape sticks to itself. It takes being careful and some creative iron usage to get it to look nice, but it seems to work for me so far!
Interesting! Never saw this binding method before. And never made a Journal without cardboard for the spine for reinforcement. 🙃 learning so many new things through your channel.
Glad to see you back. I have never tried that tape, but have often thought about it. I am now working on a book/album to capture my husband's career since he will be retiring soon. This has given me food for thought about what I might do for a sub-book within the album.
Bravo! Another great video. Thank you. You make everything look so easy ... which means that you must spend a lot of time planning camera angles and deciding what to film and what not to include. Thank you for making such high quality tutorials. I appreciate it.
This is the video that hooked me so long ago on Sea Lemon. Sweet calm voice: "I do have a couple of skull related videos on my channel..."🤯 Thanks for all the great videos. Thanks to you every shoebox is a journal cover in waiting.
The stitch is very nice - it makes an attractive spine. I will be trying it soon. But more than that, your video is so pleasant to watch; it’s clean, concise, easily understood and the optics are perfect. Thank you! I just wish other video makers would follow your example.
Ok, love that book binding tape and the chain stitch binding is perfect for a stitcher like me! This was exhilarating to watch! Very inspiring, thank you so much. 💕
Made one today - thought it would be an idea to use mini-eyelets in the spine bookcloth to enhance a steampunk look. I wonder if some people might like charms or beads on some stitches? Thank you for uploading :)
This bookbinding method looks like it would also work to create hardcovers for paperback books that need some reviving. Just glue the old cover to the inside of the new cover. Thanks for all your videos, because of them I was able to create custom notebooks and sketchbooks for my friends and myself. I will have to try this technique in the near future.
I loved this stitch so much that after I received the products I ordered, that you recommended, I made two journals. Instead of gluing paper on the covers, I gessoed them and did some abstract kind of painting on them. Love how they turned out. Thank You for showing us this Mystic binding. :0)....would have shared a photo but couldn't figure out how. hehe
Hey Sea Lemon! I've recently gotten into bookbinding and your videos and I'm absolutely loving them. I was just wondering if it would be possible if you could do a video with European sized papers, or add in alternative sizes like using a4 paper? It's super hard for me to calculate my own sizes, but it's really difficult to get letter sized paper over here and importing from the US is getting quite expensive just for a hobby haha. Thank you so much for your videos!
Thank you for the tutorial! All the steps are crystal clear and you are doing an amazing job! I was just wondering if it is possible for a notebook to have more than one section using this technique.
Thanks for this! One thing I am trying to figure out is how to do composition books ... this looks awesome and I will try to keep you updated on how I am doing.
Maybe next time you can do all you did this time with one addition, instead of only using tape you could put a long thin cut of cardboard with rounded the edges with the tape
I really love all your videos! Keep them coming, even if you use the same binding multiple times. It's great to see the different ways stitches can be used. What is the purple mat/paper?
I haven’t made a book yet, but I enjoy watching your videos. And glad to see you back at making them. I would love to see other ways of using the repair tape in book making. Is it fairly strong tape?
have you ever thought about covering a book like a quilt style where you use all the little bits of paper you cut from other projects... like from the corners and trimming sides before you glue it? All of those random misshapen pieces of paper.. I think that could look interesting

Lol, talk about a coincidence 😂

We have the same paper addiction lol😂
Welcome back Jenn!!!
Can’t wait to try this binding style for myself
XOXOXOXOXO

i realize I'm quite off topic but does anybody know a good place to watch new movies online ?
@Landry Ayaan flixportal :D
@Marcel Markus thanks, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I appreciate it !
@Landry Ayaan you are welcome :)
I've ALWAYS wanted to know how to make a book like this - Thank you so much ♡♡♡♡
Also the book you made is *S T U N N I N G* I adore it
Your videos are informative and make sense, even to an 80-year-old bookbinding newbie. Thanks!!!
What a beautiful and easy binding method! Please more of this, thank you for showing!
If you only knew what a lifesaver this is for me. I cannot for the life of me sew in signatures in journals. They're always wonky. This is so cute and simple n fun. Thank you Jennifer
The journals look SO MAGICAL.

There is no such thing as a perfect youtuber-
*sees sea lemon *
I was wrong
She is defiantly a dazzling 💫 ❣️❣️
Ok, love that book binding tape and the chain stitch binding is perfect for a stitcher like me! This was exhilarating to watch! Very inspiring, thank you so much. 💕
Great idea using the rings to organize your thread 🧵. I might use that for my embroidery floss 👍🏼👍🏼. Good to see you posting videos 📚
I love your work, clean, simple and with style...greatings from Greece.
Awesome! You totally hooked me on bookbinding, and this is my favourite so far.
I was looking for something like this to finish the books I am making for my son's class. Thank you.
Awesome! I've wondered about how to make covers with smaller sheets of paper. Thanks for sharing!
I gotta love your DIYs. Your channel is like satisfying.
Oh God... bookmaking it's so relaxing!!
Omg I’m making a book and you are my savior
I have done most of your binding videos and i think this will be easy for me to do. Thanks for the guide!!
Lovely beautifully done as per your usual
I missed your videos!
thank you for another lovely bookbinding method. gonna try it for later :)
Made this with book cloth instead of the tape and it worked!
Just awesome. Next book I make will utilize this method of binding. Thank you.🇨🇦❤️🙏✌️
I LOVE YOUR CREATIVE ART Work THANKS! I think I will try to make one 4 my mom!
I really like the way you sewed in the signature. Never saw that before.
I just bought my first bookbinding kit yesterday! I'm so excited to make sketchbooks and traveler's Journal inserts!
It looks so pretty on the dark tape! Can't wait to try it. Thank you for sharing!
This is SO cute 😍😍 I may have to try this for my next project 🤔
I was hoping to find a new binding stitch and here it is. Thank you Jennifer...this is really pretty...hugs from Arizona...;)
You are an amazing teacher, thank you.
Made one today - thought it would be an idea to use mini-eyelets in the spine bookcloth to enhance a steampunk look. I wonder if some people might like charms or beads on some stitches? Thank you for uploading :)
So happy to see you on TH-cam! I'm gonna have to get my book making supplies out. After going to Michael's first!
These are very very cool. And I love how detailed you were. I may have to try this.

Thanks for all your videos, because of them I was able to create custom notebooks and sketchbooks for my friends and myself. I will have to try this technique in the near future.
appeals to the embroider in me...think this might work well with altered books, revamping the covers...tfs
Could you also do this with bookcloth instead of the book repair tape?
Hey so I just did make it with bookcloth. A little tricky to glue on the inside and keep it even but yeah it can be done and looks nice :)
I love everything about these books! I love skulls!
I loved this stitch so much that after I received the products I ordered, that you recommended, I made two journals. Instead of gluing paper on the covers, I gessoed them and did some abstract kind of painting on them. Love how they turned out.

I’m new to your channel, and I just want to say that your videos are very nice and calming. Also you’re so pretty ❤️
Can’t wait to get the scrapbooking paper 😍
That is a very clever idea! Thank you so much for sharing.
Ooh, those would work really well for a diy blackout journal!
I was wondering what to make for christmas gifts--thanks for the inspiration!
This is adorable! I have been resisting patterned paper... but after watching this I feel the *need* to swing by the craft store! 🥳
Gorgeous, well done, so well explained as well, thank you and happy Halloween x
Very nice. I love this stitch. Thanks for sharing, Jennifer.
*Wow! Great my friends*
YEEEES I AM HYPED for a new bookbinding method ❤
Really cool books, and book binding!
I like this binding. I'm pretty sure you can add more signatures to it.
Thank you for the tutorial! All the steps are crystal clear and you are doing an amazing job! I was just wondering if it is possible for a notebook to have more than one section using this technique.
You are wonderful!!!!!!! 😀😀😁
You make beautiful videos! Tfs
Great idea! And it’s awesome to see your face again. 😊
Its is great good work. Thanks for a lot of various informations
Such a great idea.
Perfect for Halloween!❤️
Great video. I can't wait to try this book binding method Thank you for the share.
That would be perfect for junk journals as it'd be easier to attach a tassel, charm, etc to a loop or 2.
Oh dear. Now I have to make a trip to Michael's.
YES!!! Love this binding method, I will also be trying this one!!!
i love this i just got into bookbinding so your videos are sooo helpful
Thanks for this! One thing I am trying to figure out is how to do composition books ... this looks awesome and I will try to keep you updated on how I am doing.
Nice technique and beautiful outcome!
Excellent and congratulations on 1M subscribers!
Maybe next time you can do all you did this time with one addition, instead of only using tape you could put a long thin cut of cardboard with rounded the edges with the tape
Omg I love your video as so much !!!
Love this. Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful day
Such a cute idea! I wasn't able to find this paper today, but I'm sure I can find some paper online somewhere. Thanks for the inspiration. 🧟♀️👻💀
Wow
Beautifully made videos
Love it!! Love that paper and I love the chain stitch!! 💖
Can other tapes be substituted for book repair tape? Like, duck tape maybe?
I really love all your videos! Keep them coming, even if you use the same binding multiple times. It's great to see the different ways stitches can be used.
What is the purple mat/paper?
I haven’t made a book yet, but I enjoy watching your videos. And glad to see you back at making them. I would love to see other ways of using the repair tape in book making. Is it fairly strong tape?
Yes it seems durable 👍
I would love to see more ways of making binding with the tape. If you have anymore ideas.
Thank you! Amazing Channel!!
Nice journals! Love that chainstitch look!
have you ever thought about covering a book like a quilt style where you use all the little bits of paper you cut from other projects... like from the corners and trimming sides before you glue it? All of those random misshapen pieces of paper.. I think that could look interesting
I love it!!! You have totally inspired me! I will tag you when I finish what I've got in mind...
This seems like an easy book to make. Mahalogozaimasu!
What can we use instead of the binding repair tape ? Is there an alternative ? I'de love to know !
I used fabric and double sided tape. Found some cute fabric with cactus on it
This is gorgeous
