Constructing
the soft book
A B
Stitch each additional design in the collection prior to starting
the construction of your soft book. Once that is complete,
gather your Front Cover block, Design #1, the 12” ribbon, and
a spine fabric strip.
C D
With a walking foot, use a straight stitch to sew a 1/2” seam,
joining the block, ribbon and spine together. Remove the pins as
you go.
E F
Once attached, the two blocks will look like this.
Begin with the Front Cover. Lay the ribbon, face down, across
the center of the block. The right ribbon tip should align with the
block edge. The left ribbon tip should hang off the block.
Next, lay the spine, face down, on top of the block and ribbon.
Align the right outer edge of the spine with the right outer edge of
the block. Pin the three layers in place.
Once sewn, your pieces should look like this, Next, repeat steps
B-C (not including the ribbon) to attach the spine to Design #1.
Repeat steps A-E for the remainder of the designs. You’ll want to
stitch the designs in 2 rows. We arranged ours like you see above.
Row 1: Front Cover, Designs 1 - 4, and Back Cover.
Row 2: Designs 5 - 10
Remember you will attach the 12” ribbon to the Front Cover. We
will get to the other ribbon later.
