there are more scraps in this one project than any other project
but they are small and make even smaller scraps
which doesn't do much to decrease the scrap stash
page 12 and 17 are stitched together leaving a 1.5 inch space at the top and bottom
this is called the tab
the same is done with pages 18 and 11
they are then stitched together - right sides together
corners are carefully trimmed, then it is turned right side out through the small slot
you now have a unit of four pages
the technique is called slot and tab
five of these units slip together to create the book - 3 slot units and two tab units
after a serious steam pressing I buttonhole stitch, with thrums, around the top and bottom tabs
if you want to try this Ann Wood's video is excellent
here are the units slotted together with one more set of four pages left to finish
Here are the links for everyone who joins ScrapHappy from time to time (they may not post every time, but their blogs are still worth looking at).
