I just love this Anna Marie Horner fabric for the cover of this journal! The inside is made of an Amy Butler design that is equally lovable. I hand sewed in six signatures of blank drawing paper. I don't know that I will add a patch to this one...I don't want to mess it up.
Six signatures of heavy drawing paper hand stitched into a cool journal. Vintage tree design fabric recovers an up-cycled book cover. A cute felt chipmunk patch is attached to the front. End pages are covered in a green leafy cotton fabric. So cute/cool! :)
Three mini notebooks made of stiffened felt with cotton fabric end pages and an apple felt patch attached to the front, which was hand stitched with heart by me. Paper is re-fillable 3x5 cards cut in half. These were made as gifts for my kids' school teachers.
Green and keen. Another mini notebook filled with 3x5 sized paper cut in half. I thought the stitching sorta looked like cactus spikes, true to the aloe plant, pretty cool. Raise your hand if you think it looks like a plant. (No it's not marijuana)
I just had to use this fabric again! I love baby blue and brown together! Another hand bound journal with seven signatures of heavy drawing paper sewn in. Felt quail picture attached to the front. So fun to make! I am obsessing over fabric now...never thought I would be one of those people. :) It's all good!
Swirly pink and orange fabric covers a ceramic letter "J". I attached and sealed my three girls' photos on the front. It looks really cool in real life.
Made of felt and hand stitched, this is an old fashioned telephone patch attached to a stiffened felt notebook with neat branch cotton fabric end pages. Paper size is 3x5 cards cut in half. One of a kind. :)
Hand stitched felt patch. It's supposed to be a lovely cloud couch, but no one can tell what it is...
A mini notebook made of recycled book covers. The image was too cool to re-cover, so I left it as is. Held together with a silver binder ring. Refillable.
I keep going back to this tree image, it's the third time I've made it with felt. This time I put it on a hand bound journal. I recovered a discarded book cover with green denim and sewed in about 70 pages of blank off-white writing/drawing paper.
Another hand bound book. Size is 3 1/2" x 6 1/2". Green stripey Upholstery fabric with sewn on photos of cactus we saw at the botanical gardens in Spokane. Made as a gift.
Upholstery covered recycled book cover carefully hand sewn with linen waxed thread. Includes seven signatures of heavy drawing paper. Material has a neat wavy pattern that reminded me of water so I sewed on a picture from our trip to the San Juan Islands in Washington. Very fun to touch!
A vintage map of Lake Erie and Niagara Falls sewn to gray felt and attached to a black corduroy covered recycled book cover. The corduroy is awesome! Really fun to handle. Paper is heavy duty for writing, carefully hand sewn into the journal in seven signatures. So fun to make!
A mini notebook. Paper size is 3x5 card cut in half. Yellow felt sewn into a star pattern then beaded and sealed. Black fabric for the end pages on stiffened felt cover with silver eyelet and binder ring. Original and one of a kind. :)
