A folder made from scratch. Idea and design are fully mine. I was working in a horrible place and needed something with purely mine personality )))

Well done ! Such a lovely folder ! I love the way you did the button at the back, it goes so well with the polka dots.  How did you stick the polka dot fabric/paper so neatly ?

I want to give you a rate, but the system is not allowing me to do it.  I will come back later to give you a rate for this beautiful work :)

Hang in there in your work.  I know its cliché to say this, but tough people do tough it out and come up stronger.  Look forward to the end of the day when time is your own again, you can craft, stitch, make beautiful things !

thank you for your kind words.
About the paper (it was paper for scrapbooking). The base is the same as with any notebook/book - three carton cutouts for front, back and the spine. The orientation of dots on the paper was parallel to the sides of the paper, so I just lined the paper from the back (to know where to stick the carton later), and made those lines-edges parallel to the sides of the paper. It all sounds so complicated ))) so here: scrap-info.ru/myarticles/article_storyid_379.html, its in Russian, but just scroll to the pic #20 and you will see what I mean.
The bigger problem was that I had to use 2 pieces of paper. I just glued them together neatly, so that the dotsd match, and then did everything else. And orientated the carton in such a way that the glued place is on the spine and the back carton, so its really hard to notice.

As for work - Ive quit already, and very glad that I did!
