    Gayle, your hand stitched journal cover is beautiful and will be very special for the Mother's Day digital kit. Very pretty other fabrics as well for your covers.

    I really love them all. I am working on a Victorian journal, so I went on over to your friend and bought me a cover that I think will work out great. Thanks so much for the inspiration. Love all the work you do. Have a blessed day.

    Yes, I agree! The upholstery fabric cover you made from the kit will be perfect for your mixed media pages!!!
    Thanks for walking us through your process.
    Have a great day!

    Your thingamajiggy, rotary cutter, is extremely sharp. I know retracting the blade is a pain but if you ever cut yourself, it’s like a razor cut. A couple of my quilting friends learned the hard way & ended up at ER for stitches.
    The covers are all so pretty. Of course my favorite is the slow stitched one ❤️

    Thank you for this video on fabric covers. Your slow stitch one is to die for. I am so excited you are going to show us how to arrange the S/S. I have watched you make paper collages for years they are fantastic. I try to make mine look like yours but can’t,mine looks like trash blown against a fence. I got several slow stitch kits, I don’t why because I can’t arrange them either. All the covers are gorgeous.❤️🐇

    By the time I had cut a whole quilt out, pushing the button on the cutter to close it became second nature. It really has to become something you don’t even think about. I’m very glad that you are trying to remember because those rotary cutters are wicked tools. Your covers are so pretty. Love the slow stitch one! Hugs ❤

    Good morning Gayle! 💕 So glad you made these today! I haven’t made fabric over Manila envelope covers in ages. I tend to over think and over complicate journal making and always gravitate to hard cover, 3 to 5 signature, etc. for some reason. Need to give myself a good talking to. Mix it up a little! These are simple, quick, and lovely. Hope you are warm and well. 💕

      I’ve used watercolor paper from paintings that I did that turned out crappy. If someone someday dismantle someone in my journals they’re going to find a piece of a watercolor painting inside. Also Gayle made some videos where she used the Amazon bubble envelope inside, I’ve done that too. It’s a nice little crinkle.

    Good Morning Gayle! I have a silly question. Do you slow stitch your entire cover together, or is there regular sewing first to add peices to each other and then slow stitch around? Sorry. Just not sure. I bought my first sewing machine when I started following you. I am very much a beginner sewer. Thank You

    • @gayleagostinelli_ct
      @gayleagostinelli_ct  Рік тому

      Morning Kathi! You maybe can see in the video, the back of the slow stitch piece is a solid piece of cotton fabric. I lay out the design with all the fabrics, yo-yos, etc., then stitch them on by hand. Hope that makes sense. I do have some videos of doing the “fabric collaging” for slow stitch projects. You might find those if you search Gayle Agostinelli Slow Stitch. Hope that helps! ❤
