Inserts for my new Faudori I'm working on.

Kathy Orta has a tutorial on how to make this unit on her YT channel. She makes hers a lot bigger, so you can store photos in it. Mine is only 6x4 inches to fit in my Fauxdori. The front has a side pocket.

 This is the journal card I added to the front pocket.

I added a pocket to the inside of the first layer. On the right you have 2 individual pockets.

On the backside of these 2 flip pockets, I decided to make a double pocket insert.

These are the inserts.

On the bottom flip pocket I added a clear pocket.

For the background I used some scraps and I sewed around it.

This is my tag for this pocket. An old business stamp from my Mom.

On the opposite side, we have another side pocket.

This is a zentangle tag I made, that fits perfect in there.

This is the front of a fold out envelope. I got the idea from Eva at Bohamian Crafting.

You can add a tag in the front part.

Or you can insert things on the inside, since the side is open.

Here you can see it better. And then you just fold it back up.

On the other side you have 3 small pockets. I made these tiny inserts with coffee stained paper. Then I just typed the words on them.

I haven't got any inserts for the back pockets yet.

This is the back page. I added a hinge to it, that made it possible for me to put in my book. I made a cover you just slide over the page, that gives you another pocket in the front.

My inserts.

                                               

On the back you will also have another pocket and a flip up with a tracing paper pockert. I like to fold over the pocket so I can add some goodies inside it. I just used old book pages to make that cover and sewed all around it.

This took me a bit, to get all the measurements right to fit my base. But it was well worth it.

Another Different Pocket.

I just stamped and stenciled with white ink all over my black cardstock.

Then I cut apart the front of the pocket and added a strip of my blue paper I painted. I then sewed tracing paper over it to hold everything in place.

This is the back.

I just made a tag and used up some of my scraps. I just sewed a tracing paper pocket on it. I got the idea from Gayle Agostinelli.

These are my inserts.

I just tied a #13 charm I had to the fabric.

These are fun to make. They will make a nice addition to my journal.

A Different Kind of Pocket.

Over at Paperpilea, she has a tutorial on how to wrap a booklet. I thought, why not make a pocket like that. This is what I came up with. The top part is tracing paper. I sewed the tracing paper to the base to keep it from warping.

I just stamped on the upper part of the tracing paper. I wanted to let my design underneath, to show through.

I made a tag for it, and used a puzzle piece as my hole strengthener.

This is the back of the pocket.

It turned out pretty good. Just a little different kind of pocket.

Envelope Booklet.

I got the idea from Patricia Viramontes, except I only used one envelope and one coin envelope in the back. This is the front of my envelope. I made mine with the EPB, then covered it in old book pages.

I cut my envelope tabs down a bit on the sides, so when you insert ephemera it's a bit easier.
On the right I just added a pocket with an acetate window.

Without the envelope insert.

This is a little envelope I made while back. It has a small tag, that fits in the shaker pocket, to keep the envelope flap closed.

When you fold it open again, you have another pocket in the center.

The inserts for the middle pocket.

Here I just made a faux filmstrip pocket. Underneath I used tracing paper folded in half, to keep the "goodies" inside. I also sewed around it, since it's easier then using glue on it.

Inserts for this pocket.

This is the back. Here I used a coin envelope, covered it, and cut the one side open. The 2 tags are holding it shut.

I made a file folder card as an insert.

This was a fun project. Thank you for the inspiration.
