    I made a journal from the same size envelope and I like that it gives you scope to add larger pieces of paper too. I really liked when you added the sewing pattern paper to mute the front. I’ll have to beg some of that from my sewing friends. Lovely tutorial making a great journal.

      I’d love to know where or what patterns you get the plain paper without lines at. Every single pattern I have has the pattern printed on it.

      @@JohannaClough And I was thinking, using the pinking shears or speciality edge scissors on some of those pieces of paper would make it look even more like a quilt cover...Am definitely going to try this; have a six year old granddaughter who thought my first journal effort for her didn't have "enough pages"...(meaning, enough big clear pages for her to draw/colour on). She wanted MORE PAPER. Lol.

    I love everything about this video I'm so glad I've found it! The journal is very nice, your voice is very pleasant, your explanations are great - not too much, not too little. There is no rushing nor speeding yet everything flows and everything is interesting - that is the balance hard to achieve. On top of that you didn't ruin the whole thing like so many others with a music, so the video is relaxing and enjoyable! Well done! Now I'm curious to see how you filled the journal... I hope to find that. I feel inspired, thank you x x x

    With your video you gave me a good idea. I made such a cover several times , but everytime the cover cracked and the parts of scraps were getting loose, even though I put glue over the cover when I was ready with my paper parts. But putting that tissue paper over the cover gifs the scraps of paper no chance to get loose. Thanks a lot for this idea.
