Super round cutter
I can’t sew so I don’t have any super sewing machines on my work desk, not like my talented friends, Penny and Franz!
But I have this industrial round cutter and it’s one of the best things I’ve bought for my business. I use it to round all the edges of my notebooks and postcards. And it’s great because you can do a stack in one go. I highly recommend it if you like ’rounding off’ things!
I am working late at night, making more Picnic slumber notebooks for Made On the Left. First I trim the covers to fit the inner pages, then round the edges and then bind them. Then I make labels to wrap around the book and pack them into a cello sleeve. This is what handmade is all about. 100% sweat and tears from me!
This is my second batch of Picnic slumber books as I sold out at Fremantle Market a couple of weeks ago. So if you’re in the neighbourhood, drop by Hyde Park Hotel on 25th July and 26th July for Made On the Left, 10am – 4pm. Lots of Perth designers and artists will be selling their handmade goods and there’s me of course! And these books yo!

That is one serious looking machine Helena! Your notebooks look so pretty stacked together like that by the way!

I dont like the sound of ‘Sweat & Tears’, but i Do like the sound of some bad ass equipment!!
Imagine our sewing machines and ur cutter taking off Transformers-style, fighting the evil guys.. like toasters and uhm, i dunno, epilators and stuff..

I love round cutters! I have one too but am not too happy with it so I might get another one eventually… What brand is yours and how many sheets can it cut at a time?

julie the round cutter can cut up to about 50 -100 sheets of paper. Possibly even more though I never tried that many. I got mine at Unicorn cutters from australia. I’d recommend it!
