Embroidery journals fabric books

People ask what I do with my slow stitched art, so I have prepared a video for you showing how to make a fabric book for your slow stitching. This is my favo...

I finally have been able to work on a fabic journal. I've been wanting to make one for some time now. It was so much fun and I just loved making it. It has several pages and pockets, each page has been embellished. It comes with a small covered notebook for writing notes or doing small drawings.

Best Craft Ideas For You

That one had only 5 double pages, and I'm already working on the 4th double page in the new one and there are still many past works to use. For now, I used the…

So, this journal didn't grow that big, after all. I really felt like wrapping it up, there was a strong sense of... fulfillment, so to say? All the works found their place inside the journal. I liked how they matched being paired up together and didn't want to drag it out anymore just to incorporate a couple of other old embroidery pieces that I didn't even have a vision for in this journal.

I wrote this whole post out this morning and as I typed the last word my computer crashed and, of course, I hadn’t been saving as I went along so here is my second try. You might want a cup of tea for this one. Last week I shared a little of my stitch journal on Instagram. It generated an awful l
