If you're pretty crafty a good guess might be 3 hours? Remember there's all the measuring and cutting of paper before the sewing - plus drying time for the painting and gluing of covers... It's hard to say.

I do make ...Hi Raina, so glad you like my tutorial!<br />I do make the cover a little bit larger than the pages, so that it helps to protect the edges of the pages. If you make the cover exactly the same size, that pages tend to stick out from the covers edge and then they get beat up with use. I centered the pages in the cover so that 1/8 of an inch overhangs above and 1/8 below the pages edges. If you center the holes in both the pages and the cover, the center hole will be the guide - there will just be a little more left over at the ends of the cover, vs the pages. So start with the center hole, and measure the same amount out from that point, on both pages and cover. Does that make sense?

Shouldn't the height of the cover be 4 inches, since the signatures are 4 inches tall? I don't know if that was a mistake or if you wanted 1/4 of an inch to stick out on the top and bottom. I'm confused because the hole-punching template seemed to fit perfectly on the spine.

I love learning new book binding methods for my art journals. It is a lot of work to put a video together and I wanted to thank you for sharing and giving such warm inspiration for us. I am excited to try your techniques as I love all the signatures you can fit into this idea...and the pockets too!

If you want to create pockets, then allow for an extra 4 inches at each end, with a total of 18 - 19 inches. I vary that, depending on how wide I want to have the pockets, or if I just want a folded flap, and don't sew it into a pocket. I'm not sure what you mean about how to make the spine - which aspect is confusing. To get the folds, you score the paper, measuring the center, and one inch to either side. You, as the creator, may decide just how many signatures you want to have - sometimes for a first book it's easier to make it less thick - but my stack of signatures added up to 2 inches. You will find the center of your cover and measure the depth of your signatures, and score the equal distance to either side of center, so for me that meant one inch on either side of center. Hope that makes sense!
