An ideabook can be many things: a keepsake; a work of art; a source of inspiration; a method of organisation; a collection of memories; a way to store recipes or patterns; a genealogical journal; a wedding planner or just a peek inside the chaos and creativity of our own mind!

There is guidance on the materials and tools you need and detailed, step-by-step demonstrations showing the reader how to sew the pages, tie the end threads, bind the sections of paper together, glue the spine and create the cover.

There's then a large section devoted to various types of ideabook designed to inspire and enthuse the reader, including Christmas, Children's Cooking, Garden, Sewing and Travel Ideabooks.
