Prima My Sweet Slimline Accordion Folio Tutorial Part 2 for Throwback Thursday
Hello, Friends! I shared the first part of this Prima My Sweet Slimline Accordion Folio Tutorial with you in last week’s Throwback Thursday. Today I’m back to finish things up. Are you ready to get your craft on?
If you missed the first installment of this tutorial, you can get caught up by watching it here. This tutorial shows you how to build the folio base, line the pages, and decorate most of the inside pages.
Pop-Up Pages!
This week we have some really fun pop up pages to create! The first style of pop up page is this W-Fold mechanism. This one is so easy to make that even if you have never done a pop up element before, you’ll be successful on your first try.
The second style of pop up is this fun twist and pop mechanism. This is a little more work that the W-Fold. A few years back I figured out a way to greatly simplify the process, and that video is still one of my most viewed tutorials on my YouTube channel. I think you’re really going to enjoy adding it to a mini album base.
Cover Me!
Finally, we will build the collage style cover of the folio.
I had a very good time digging through my stash of charms, trims and embellishments. Hopefully you have some goodies stashed away that you can use to dress up your folio cover.
If you don’t have this paper collection in your stash, you can still have fun with this tutorial. Just substitute one of your favorite paper collections as you follow along with the step by step instructions.

Watching your tutorials reminded me of a dear friend. Her sewing projects over the years have always amazed me. She offered their Master’s tickets to us for ‘23. It’s always been on my husband’s bucket list. We haven’t seen each other in a long time. This project would make a great gift to her when we stay with her.
So charming and I
love sewing! The
scissors and bobbin
are adorable.

Oh wow Kathy, you have taken interactive to the next level! The sewing theme is superb and there are so many pages, pockets and images to touch and explore, the perfect folio indeed. The vintage paper collection with the kraft and pink card is a favourite. I am going to have to watch the tutorials again to take it all in. Thanks Kathy.
Kathy, this is absolutely one of my favorite creations ever! I am over the moon in love with this sewing themed folio. Everything about it is absolutely perfect. The paper collection is beautiful and your embellishments and inside surprises are just fabulous! Thank you so much for sharing! Hugs!
Love the sewing theme and the pop ups.
Lovely folio! Thank you for all the tips and tricks.
Like so many others, I, too, learned to sew from my Mom. While sewing isn’t as important in my life as it used to be, I’m still doing handwork projects to embellish and decorate. Love the doily on the cover!! This did turn out to be a lovely book!
Parent 2 of this folio tutorial doesn’t disappoint and I really enjoyed watching the folio come together. It’s an very unique gift and so much more than a card. Congratulations again on your 10 year anniversary!

Beautiful folio! I love all the flaps and the twist and pop you showed us how to make. Also have to mention the soothing music goes so well with this sewing theme! Thanks for the tutorial.
Beautiful card, makes me think of my dear momma, who taught me the love for sewing.
I love sewing ephemera – reminds me of my mom’s sewing so long ago! Beautiful cards as always!
