Dilemma Solved???

Oh, my. Again, back from quite the hiatus. Things have been a little busy with me. Sister-in-law staying with us for a bit takes up a lot of time that I could be using to make stuff, but that's ok, cuz my sister-in-law is fun :) (that and I have also not been doing so well...sick with an unpleasant cold, not to mention having just finished a 30 day diet)

Anyways, enough of my boring life outside crafting lol. I think I have solved a dilemma relating to soft book covers. A while ago, I had made a book cover with flimsy felt (and I think I made one with vinyl as well). It looked terrible...BUT...I think I have solved my dilemma.

Sitting here, bored out of my mind at this late hour (almost 11:30pm), surfing the internet...got me thinking on my book cover. As you all well know, I'm CONSTANTLY on the look out for THEE perfect book of shadows (and primarily what this blog consists of...my search). I had been surfing around allowing my mind to wander, and as it wandered, I think I stumbled upon a way to make my soft cover more sturdy, while remaining flexible.

While I do love the feel and weight that hard covers provide, I also love the look of soft covers. And I think I've fixed my problem, and it is oh so simple:

I JUST finished making this. I'm currently not at home, so I cannot put this "theory" into practice at the moment,, but I think it will work. 

I post this here so that anyone else who might also be curious on how to make their own cover can see how to do one. I promise that once I have tried this, I will post pictures to show any success or failure that my "theory" yields. 

In all honesty, I can't wait to see if it works. However, again, I must wait to do this, as not only am I not home, but I also have no super glue :( (story of my life lol). I really hope this works out....

Then again (another though just pops into my head)...I might not even need glue, I can just sew the extra overhang. Hmm...the creative gears continue to turn in my head. We will see what comes of this.
