The fabric snippet roll is perfect for the jeans journal. Love how it turned out and love how trial and error can always resolve in the junk journal world!
So eine schöne Idee, deine Snippet Roll so zu nutzen! 👍 Ich liebe den Stoff, den du innen verwendet hast… habe da einen kleinen Vorrat von 😅! Ich bin super gespannt, wie es weitergeht 💚! Ich kenne das sehr gut mit dem Umüberlegen im Prozess. Wundervolles Cover! 😊 Liebe Grüße Nicole
Hi! Just wanted to let you know that buttonholes can be challenging so I use existing buttonholes on clothing to make my closures. The jeans jacket buttonholes would have been so cute!
You were so right! The fabric snippet roll was so cute on this Jeans Journal. Closers always get me too. I’m so nervous until I have a working closer. Lol. But this is so cute!! Love it. ♥️♥️♥️
Liebe Barbara! So ein tolles und goldiges Journalcover ist das geworden! Ich liebe die Snippetroll, die Du kreiert hast! Und Deine Fingernägel passen perfekt zu dem Farbschema! Danke für Deine tollen Videos! Ich mag es, dass Du den ganzen Prozess zeigst, der eben auch Mal nicht so läuft, wie wir uns das vorstellen. Liebe Grüße, Susanne.
Love these little jean journals, made one after your last video and my 18 year old great niece loved receiving it for her birthday. I lined the inside with fabric that belonged to her great grandmother that she never got to meet. ❤ Loving the new nail polish color :)
You had me laughing, but I still love it!! How about making a hidden spine when you're ready to sew in signatures? I also wanted to mention that sewing closures, like snaps or buttons, would go well with all the fabric. But I do like the adjustable closure, so it works no matter how chunky the book gets. You've really inspired me to get out my denim! Thanks for another fun video Barbara! ❤
I love how this turned out Barbara! Your collection of mini journals is adorable. ❤ thank you so much for sharing and inspiring. I know what I will be doing tomorrow!!! Baby jean journal! I might have gone with a couple of large snaps for the closure but the tie is very cute.
These little journals are so much fun! I missed the part where you gave the dimensions . Remind me please. The snippet roll looks great..and your chatter and laugh are lovely. Thanks for sharing this idea.
If you wanted to use buttons for a closure in the future, you could sew a button on each end an wrap twine in a figure 8 around the two buttons-like an envelope closure. I have a denim cove that I have not used because it was just too plain. Now I know what to do with it! Thanks for the inspiration.
Hi Barbara! ❤️ i feel very, very inspired! I will try one of my own! And you know, i like when things go wrong in your videos because i was the person who would throw things away... after your videos i don't cause you always fix things in a perfect way! ❤happy saturday!❤
I was so anxious when you were putting the little magnets on the wrong side XD I'm going to try this kind of cover, I tend to do either very simple or very complicated/loaded covers; this one feels a little in-between and could give a bit more balance to my collection as a whole. With only simple and complex ones, when my journals are on a shelf, the group looks a bit disconnected. I need these in-between covers.
pretty nail polish 😍. Lol I love old jeans for crafting. I was thinking last time it could be part of the closure! Great minds but I was thinking velcro or buttons. Um, those magnets should have managed through that fabric, they're strong enough. Don't think you turned them around🤔. I might test mine out later as I have those and stronger ones. Looks gorgeous as is anyway 😍. Tfs and have a great day 💖💖💖
I love this little journal. I think the reason the magnets didn't work is because you took them off the other magnets and glued them with the side that attracts up, but it should have been glued down because you were putting the wrong side of the fabric where you glued it facing the cover and the magnet needed to stick to the front of the fabric. Not sure if that makes sense.
Did you say the measurements of this journal? If not, would you mind letting me know? I love these little journals you’ve made…especially when you use jeans material. Have you ever thought of using a larger lobster/necklace clasp and a ring to hook to? Or sew on snaps? Buckles, ‘D’ rings…I’ve been researching journal closures for months and have many ideas to use without having to make buttonholes. Thank you so much for the lovely videos you make. Have a blessed day.
Thank you for the measurements. Oh my goodness, it looks so much smaller than that. I’ve been “distressing” an old torn pair of my husbands jeans…now I can make my own @49dragonflies inspired journal.
Thank you for reminding me about the idea you gave me some time ago! Going to track down that jeans top and make the binder cover with for Dephemerember. :) Inspiring and fun video! I like the 'chatty' bits too! 😊
Definitely doing this! Started ripping a kids jacket up that has a ruffle out of the jeans fabric. Suggestions for the ruffle?? So so so CUTE! Just ordered some TH fabric from Etsy to make my first snippet roll. Love the wavy stitch you used. Have to go look at NY machine! TFS!!! 😙 and hugs!
The day you start to edit “mistakes” out of your videos is the day you will probably lose viewers. We learn along with you! I appreciate how you let go of perfectionism and find alternative solutions, because there is always an alternative solution. I love these little journals.
LOL at myself as I never watch a whole tutorial through (nor, for that matter read all the instructions for a recipe- which could explain a few things about my cooking) before beginning and as a result wind up making the same “mistakes” you do! In this case I also sewed all the layers of the cover together before attaching the fabric snippet roll. However, my solution was to sew it on anyway along the front and back covers but add a pocket/tuck spot or belly band of the same width over where the the stitching would show on the inside. I did not sew it along the spine thinking the small gap would still allow me to slip a another piece of fabric under it to glue over the stitching for the signatures.
I was thinking of hooks 😊 but then I was trying to picture a snippet roll on clothing! 🩷 thanks Barbara. And about those magnets bring them to the front on the left piece. Hope this helps.
The reason your magnets didn't work is because you did end up gluing them in the wrong way round, unfortunately! You didn't "turn them around" and they ended up repelling each other, because you were gluing them to the other side of the strip. Actually the idea is very interesting and i hope you won't give up on it for a future project maybe, since it might work quite well!
I love those videos where you talk "nonsense" the most! 😂❤
😂😂😂❤️
Love how you “just” try things and most often succeed, you always inspire me not to be scared to do something new. Thank you😊
That’s awesome! ❤️
The fabric snippet roll is perfect for the jeans journal. Love how it turned out and love how trial and error can always resolve in the junk journal world!
I love how spontaneously you work, no fear just do what you love! You inspire me to just do it and not be afraid to make mistakes!

How not to do it! The best tutorials. This is how all of us do it. Barbara, as I've said before I love you more with each little mishap!
You were so right! The fabric snippet roll was so cute on this Jeans Journal. Closers always get me too. I’m so nervous until I have a working closer. Lol. But this is so cute!! Love it. ♥️♥️♥️
Love how your cover turned out using the snippet roll. Gorgeous. I love it.
You’re as adorable as those journals Barbara!!😄🫶🫶your little giggle makes me smile every time!!💞💞💞
Aaaaaw 🤭❤️
Loving those tiny journals. I'm stuck on doing these giant ones. I think the next needs to be one like this.
Cute little chunky guy! Can't wait to see how you finish it up. TFS🤗
Love that threesome of journals. And I love the size too.
Barbara, I love these little journals! We all make mistakes, and it’s good to see your thought process how to correct things. TFS! ❤
I just love watching your videos. Because you always say what’s on your mind. You just have to love it. Thank you for your creativity 😊
Aaaaw thank you! ☺️❤️
Yes! Inspired and charmed by your chuckling throughout this video. Very enjoyable. Can’t wait to get busy.
How adorable! Absolutely the cutest little journals. Love the fabric snippet roll over jean material. Hugs 🤗❤️
Beautiful cover❤ great idea to use snippet roll. Looks really boho and so much fun ❤
Love these denim journals and the snippet roll. Great idea!❤🦋🦋

What a special gift. Your great niece is very lucky! ❤️😊
Such a beautiful cover!!! I love how you persevere. Junk journaling is a lesson in how to come up with a creative solution
These are gorgeous!! 😍I love those snippet rolls!! Thank you for the inspiration!! ❤❤❤
So so cute, Barbara, I just love these little denim journals. Thank you 💕🌸

I love seeing mistakes and working through problems. Great job
I love these journal covers. They are so sweet and happy. I always look forward to your videos. Thanks so much! ❤
That was quite the journey you took us on! And I enjoyed every second. I love how the journal cover turned out❤
I love how this turned out Barbara! Your collection of mini journals is adorable. ❤ thank you so much for sharing and inspiring. I know what I will be doing tomorrow!!! Baby jean journal!
I might have gone with a couple of large snaps for the closure but the tie is very cute.
Ok now I have to make one. These little Jean journals are so sweet!! ❤
Love these journals!
Such a cute little journal. You always make me laugh. Thank you for these fantastic videos! ♥
I love your videos and your cute laugh!
All so cute, love these journals!
These little journals are so much fun! I missed the part where you gave the dimensions . Remind me please. The snippet roll looks great..and your chatter and laugh are lovely. Thanks for sharing this idea.
Thank you! The measurements of of the jeans material is approx: 14 x 9 1/2 inches or 36 x 24 cm.
If you wanted to use buttons for a closure in the future, you could sew a button on each end an wrap twine in a figure 8 around the two buttons-like an envelope closure. I have a denim cove that I have not used because it was just too plain. Now I know what to do with it! Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks for the fun button idea! 😃❤️
It’s a lovely cover maybe if you double stack the magnets they will work through tape and fabric?
Learning so mutch from your prosess 😍 Thank you for sharing 👏🙏 lots of love from arctic Norrway 🙌🌺🏵🌼🌻🌹
Turned out lovely 😍
Loving all these ideas
Looks supper cute! Thank you so much. Will definitely try to make one
I appreciate seeing how you solved all your issues. that's so helpful. be real!

Too bad the magnets didnt work out 🙈 love the clean look of it. The cover is SUPER cute in any case, curious what u will put in 😊
Love this ! Beautiful!

Adorable!
I like the tie closure you ended up with the best. It leaves more room for the journal to expand. What a beautiful cover!
Definitely inspired!
Fun, fun, fun!
so inspiring

Love this Brenda. Decide to try. I am fairly new to JJ. So happy with how it turned out

You are so welcome! Have fun with your Dephemerember cover! 😃❤️
Thanks so much for this video..... I created a large snippet for my art journal
Love love these journal sizes and they are so pretty, cute they fit in your hands so nice. Hello Barbara hope you have a wonderful day
So fun and inspiring!
I love the colors!
Love every tutorial of yours. Would Velcro work?
Thanks! It probably would but I’m not a fan of Velcro….
I love this!😊😊
I love this cute little journal sweetie ❤
So enjoyable, I love the cover, great job💕🇨🇦

Not NY - - "my" sewing machine. I only use zigzag and straight stitch.
I feel like the ruffle might be a bit much for such a small journal, but hard to say without seeing it…
@@49dragonflieshi Barbara, just wondering if the ruffle could be sewn to the bottom of the snippet roll or used as a tie closure.
@@judylarson6719 I guess it could. You will need to audition it 😃
Ist das eine schöne Idee, das ist wirklich wunderschön geworden und das werde ich sicher irgendwann mal ausprobieren 😍
Love it
Gorgeous 🤩🤩🤩
Great project! Thank you

would velcro dots work as a closure?
I think they would. I’m just not a big fan.
How long is your fabric snipet roll? It’s fabulous!
Thanks. Not sure how long, maybe half a meter after using the piece for the cover.
Love it! But what about snaps instead of magnets? Just a thought. You inspired me none the less… Magnets shmagnets!!!
😃 thank you! ❤️
I was thinking of hooks 😊 but then I was trying to picture a snippet roll on clothing! 🩷 thanks Barbara. And about those magnets bring them to the front on the left piece. Hope this helps.
