FIRST FABRIC JOURNAL FINISHED...et al

 

Here are the last two pages I needed to put into my book.

I am not that thrilled with using hardcover book covers;

I am used to making my own fabric covers

and sewing them on the machine and adding

front and back pockets...

I think that I will use my old method for the upcoming

"Christmas and Winter" edition of these prompts...

***************************

Everything is now sewn in and the cover facings

fabrics glued down...with Aileene's Tacky Glue...

Here is the book:

Here it is closed...

And here follow all the pages..

It is so very different from this one

below:

And here is the

fabric cover I made a few years ago...

Here it is opened

and

(below)

closed

I used my Grand-mere's vintage button

for the closure...

I like the fold over flap and button tie closing here...

Here are the back front cover and 1st page...

I like the neat sewn look 

and the pocket...

In this series that I made--

I used my own hand cut watercolor papers,

water colored them,

and then used

images from magazines to 

decorate it...

And

Here is the final page...

this is a writing journal with some

fold out pages.  

***********************

It is quite a different look to the fabric one

I just finished...which is not a writing

journal but rather a folio of embroidery

vignettes...

**************************

I think I am so used to coming from a scrapbooking

book-making background that I am kind

of surprised by how this came out..

though i probably shouldn't have been...

😏

I may make some pockets for

journaling cards in the next group...

We shall see...

Thank you all for following this 

embroidery journey with me...
