So first you start with a pattern.
Back when I started doing these I would print my image, map the markings and use the measurements to create the image in the book.
Now we have software that does it for you, or even better pattern makers.
I am not great on computers so I sometimes now use a maker, I send her ideas and she makes the pattern for me (saving me around 4 hours with my old way of doing it).
From there we mark out the pattern, this one is over 500 pages with up to 12 marks per page.
This is a Cut and fold pattern, so next we fold the necessary.
From here we need to cut the rest of the marks. I use these funky little sewing scissors, makes life so much easier and less hand ache.
After you have done this for all 500 pages, you can see the results.
Watch this space for the final result. Maybe if this is liked I will do a video tutorial next time. X
