I am thrilled that you are willing to do these sewing book tutorials for us. I have my book and am ready to go! Today I will start securing the scraps. Good luck with your move. And thanks!
I'm going to search for my book and get all my bits together. Can't wait for this to start. I've always wanted to do one of these and this is the kick in the pants I've needed. Love your videos.
I'm so excited to follow along with this series. I avidly collect bits and pieces for my journal, and I'm looking to enhance what I already do in my journal. Thanks! :)
Can’t wait for this series. I love the idea of drawing girls with pieces of clothing images. I enjoy faces too or your creature. Maybe simple flowers to try. I love this concept of doing a few pages at a time. I get intimidated with 2 page spreads too.
Ugh, hope you have a relatively stress-free move! I just had a month-long move which consisted of getting rid of like 2/3 of my stuff, so I FEEL YOU :)
I hope your move went well. I'm looking forward to taking this journal journey with you and others. I've collected lots of bits and pieces and have an altered book; yay! Can't wait to see your next video.
Hey Courtney, I'm so glad you got this video up. I have a container of stuff to use and will get more. I'm excited to start adding photos and extra art work because this is something I haven't done. I still need to prep my book😁 too. Hope you get your studio set up quickly for your sanity.
This book is just beautiful Courtney....you have an amazingly unique eye for colour and shapes....I can't wait to start,,,,,wish you all the best for your move-exciting times! XOXO
I was lucky and found the same sewing book at a local thrift shop. I have started to put some paints and collage on some of the pages. I learned from you to not do the book in order and I have collected a cardboard box full of surprises scraps. I am more trying to learn how to do the girl faces, I am working wondering if you have done any video on how to do these girls. I want to learn how to create them and I am just trying to create my girls. Thanks for being willing to share.
I've FINALLY found someone I vibe with!!!! I thought I was doing it wrong.... I was "art shaming" myself bc I'm not the greatest artist in the fine drawing skill set; so I ripped out pics all the time... You're style & flow is beautiful & makes me feel so much better & super connected to you!!!! Thanks so VERY MUCH for sharing!!! 😘💕🐾
This is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing, you've inspired me to go back to an art journal I'd abandoned because I hated it. But now I know how to make it pretty. So thank you. And have fun moving.
ok im collecting...still kicking my self for paying so much for on line classes that left me no further in front with my art...God im so excited, i really feel like im actually going to learn something...i almost feel guilty i am accepting all this joy for nothing...Happy moving we shall await your return with an eagerness unparalleled.....:)
Awesome magazines! I'm tempted to start a subscription based on the ones you showed;) Great inspiration as always. Thank you for taking the time to do this series!
So pleased you are making more videos for this thank you so much. I would like to know how you incorporate your own photographs into your book. How you decide what photos to use. I have loads of family photographs and would really like to use them. Good luck with your move. :)
Love this! A bit late in your videos lol,funny today I was cutting things I liked out of my magazines! I have a huge pile of them! I love your style I've tried doing the hole spread thing and it just doesn't work for me! This is perfect for me!💜 Thanks Sooooo! Much for you're inspiration! And sharing and taking time in your busy life to share your artsy world 🌎 with UA-cam! Thank you again for sharing💜 Hugs 🤗
I just ordered my sewing book and won't have it for 10-13 days! I will be able to catch up though! Have already seen all the videos to date and am UBER excited to start!! Love your style and am a new subbie! ~ Deb
Oh sweet girl! Take care on your move and THANK YOU for taking the time to film and post this! I did have a question when you had time...do you prefer working on the glossier paper? I found an adorable doll house plans book, but the paper isn't that glossy this paper that looks like yours. I'm wondering if it will withstand my abuse. 😉
The older style paper is unusually robust! It's made a lot stronger than regular paper today which is why it's so good for Altered books. Glossier paper will perform a resist almost to some techniques as its got a coating on it, could have some quirky results though! If you're in love with it then use it! Xx C
I am so excited and can't wait for this to start! I adore your journaling style and am really looking forward to learning more how you build your pages. One quick question......will you be removing any of the pages in your book to free up some space to allow for the thickness from all of the additions of paper and bits that you will be adding in? Best of luck to you on your upcoming move! I hope it's stress-free and goes smoothly! :-)
Hey lovely! Watch the first video you see me removing paper! The link is in the description! I removed every other page so the spine doesn't break as we fill our books! Enjoy video one!!!!
+TheLittleInk Oh I missed that one! lol Thanks so much for your help and I'll check it out for sure! I am so behind with watching everyone's videos. There just isn't enough time in the day is there? lol Thanks again!
I work on single sheets 90% of the time but if I show you something that needs more layers I'll mention when I glue them together, the older paper seems to have a more robustness to it, it can withstand a lot more than paper now days! Hope that helps
You can grab both online, Frankie is an Aussie magazine so most newsagents carry it! Flow is harder to find as its from the Netherlands so some newsagents stock it but in small quantities, some order that online special.
OMG, such an beautiful and creative journal!! I would soooo love to make a sewing book like that!! Btw, Is that Australian version flow? Why do I think it's so much cuter than the French version?!lol... Thanks for the inspiration:D
Morning lovely this series is for sure going to continue my little humans just finished school holidays which means my filming stops! The went back yesterday so I will begin filming this week! Thanks for your patience
I've had a lot of messages and comments on when am I doing more am I still going, This was in no way meant to be bossy! And I'm sorry you feel that way, it's motivation to start collecting so when my next video comes out for it, you're all ready to go!

I might give this a try. I'm glad you are going to pace it out to a monthly or bi-monthly type of schedule. Best of luck with your move. :)
Yes I need to not overload myself or it becomes too much! And these books are alot of fun but also a lot of work to teach! Thanks for watching
Joepie, like this. And succes with packing.

cool cant wait to start....just a quick question do you glue pages together or just work on then as single sheets....
I work on single sheets 90% of the time but if I show you something that needs more layers I'll mention when I glue them together, the older paper seems to have a more robustness to it, it can withstand a lot more than paper now days! Hope that helps
One Question please where do we purchase the magazines you mentioned Flow and Frankie>? thank you.:)
You can grab both online, Frankie is an Aussie magazine so most newsagents carry it! Flow is harder to find as its from the Netherlands so some newsagents stock it but in small quantities, some order that online special.
OMG, such an beautiful and creative journal!! I would soooo love to make a sewing book like that!! Btw, Is that Australian version flow? Why do I think it's so much cuter than the French version?!lol... Thanks for the inspiration:D
Im too excited for this :)
Does anyone know if this series has continued since this video - maybe somewhere else? I keep checking back here, but nothing.
Morning lovely this series is for sure going to continue my little humans just finished school holidays which means my filming stops! The went back yesterday so I will begin filming this week! Thanks for your patience
Hi! Thanks for the update. Gotta enjoy those kiddos :). Looking forward to your videos and getting back into making my own art.
Noooo!!! Just threw away 2 years of old Flow magazines when I was in a de-cluttering mood! 😶
Kind of bossy.
I've had a lot of messages and comments on when am I doing more am I still going,
This was in no way meant to be bossy! And I'm sorry you feel that way, it's motivation to start collecting so when my next video comes out for it, you're all ready to go!
+Judith Meyer She's an instructor giving homework. I think she's great!!
Thankyou! I'm glad someone gets me!
+TheLittleInk I'm a new subbie and very excited for this series you are doing. Good luck with your move.
+Judith Meyer Courtney is so NOT bossy, your comment was laughable, sorry but true.
