Fabric Journal Covers Mass Make!

[@valeriemartin3506]

I never knew to stop zig-zag stitching when the needle is on the left in order to have a nice stitched corner!!! Thanks for sharing!!! Your covers are going to be gorgeous! You are so creative! I'm very new to junk journaling and never would have thought to upcycle Amazon packaging for covers!!! Brilliant!

[@vickibusybee]

I LOVE the sound of the sewing machine. 💖🧵 I wish they had it on those calming videos to help you sleep 😴 I’m sure I would drop off to sleep so quickly. 🛌 Thanks for the video Gayle. 😘

[@kessell637]

I was literally saying, “Stop, Gayle, STOP!” on that cover you’re going to quilt. Wade looked at me and said, “You know she can’t hear you, right?” 😂 I love Kelly Rae Roberts’ art. So glad you let us know she has fabric!!! 💐

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

I think she heard you fortunately. 😉

[@saundrabusch4452]

I do that with a lot of videos 😂❤

[@jeanburns7263]

Gayle, I make quilts so I am sewing a lot. I love the sound of a sewing machine . I never could understand why some people complain when you sew. Beautiful journal covers: You always inspire me. Jean

[@coletteclark3528]

Hahaha Gayle - I was yelling " No don't glue that on yet if you're going to quilt the front" So glad you caught that. 😄

[@saundrabusch4452]

I drive my family nuts with saving junk mail and packaging to make my journals but then when they see them they are like aww how pretty is that 😂❤❤❤

[@sallybookbunny]

Gayle's jewels of wisdom: "Never get on the floor without a good plan on how to get up." Love it!!!

[@nancyjoclark5006]

The last three days I’ve tea dyed paper and fabric. Then I watched one of your previous cover videos. I made 10 covers, 5 of which I used Amazon packaging. It is fun to hear the popping. I sew on an old Singer Featherweight that has no zig zag. After sewing once around the cover, I did a wavy stitch line around the cover, criss crossing over the straight line of stitching.

[@juliemealy1882]

I was also saying, "No, no, you want to quilt that one". Did you hear me? I really enjoyed the video and seeing all of the different fabrics and how you chose the insides for all-and the pocket lace and fabric. Good video. Thanks, Gayle!

[@JacquelynQueen78]

Gm Ms Gayle. Really enjoy your cover making. It’s so inspiring. Makes me happy and want to get up and mass make for no apparent reason every single time. Have a happy day dear friend. Hugs and happy thoughts sent your way. TFS ❤🤗

[@sunsh1ne539]

I’m so motivated to get covers done! I have a lot of company during the summer months…and all the time, really, since we moved to the Lake but I’m excited to get some crafting time in! It’s a joy to have my people come and still have fun things when they leave. Thanks for sharing this!

[@DeniseS-6867]

Hello Gayle, loved the mass fabric cover makes, they are lovely. Yesterday Amazon delivered 2 packages and my hubby got them and brought them to me in the kitchen and when I saw the packaging (the white bubble mailers) I said 'Yes, yes finally I got some', to which my husband said 'isn't it my 2 vitamins?', so then had to explain, which just got a head shake. TFS

[@madcrafts]

They just don't understand

[@happymaker2243]

You are like a one-person factory cranking out all those covers. They are all beautiful.

[@madcrafts]

Just listening to you talk and see is so relaxing. And inspiring

[@heatherbuechelartistry]

I don't know what it is about your cover series but I always get inspired from watching them over and over :)

[@tapsfan2]

Good morning Gayle! Happy that you are part of my day❤️

[@maymewilkinson9093]

Oh, I love that pink slow stitch cover, it is beautiful!!!! Is going to be a gorgeous pink cover when finished!!!

[@joannedonovan9489]

Thanks for letting us watch you make these! Very pretty!!

[@belindaosgood]

You are amazing. To create so many covers in an hour. I think my "thinkery" gets too involved in crafting because it would take me half a day to do one. 🥴 Every single cover you made is just gorgeous. So many yummy fabrics!

[@margaretcomella3318]

Wow! Zoom-zoom! 😄👍❤ (I was one of them yelling stop! Haha. At least you caught it in time!)

[@pmaccrafts]

It's called "squirreled". 🤣🤣 You remember the cartoon with the dog that would never finish talking because a squirrel would run by and he'd take off? My sister does that a lot while shopping.

[@colleenmc8450]

I can watch you make covers all day. I have gone back through your cover videos before and just find these relaxing and creative.

[@freidagepner2370]

Really pretty fabrics. I didn’t know Kelly Raye had fabric. That’s exciting. These will be very pretty covers. Can’t wait to see how you dress them up❤️

[@superpearl9]

I could watch you make 100 more covers! I don't know why I love it so much 😃😆😁

[@FabJewelrytwofriends]

Hello Gayle. I just love watching your videos. I’m learning a lot everyday from you. Hugs

[@sallyhedges8335]

Love your comment about having a plan to get up! So true.

[@simonal-i7b]

Good morning Gayle🤗 I am playing around with the idea of a fabric journal cover...and guess who I turn to for inspiration😉? Thank you so much for all your wonderful videos and for always sharing your creativity with us. I really enjoy spending time with you❤ Hugs Simona

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Morning Simona! Thank you! ❤

[@deena-cn2kj]

Today after watching you make all those beautiful journal covers - youtube decided I should watch your Nov.23, 2018 video. I think you would laugh your socks off when you see it. Your discovery of none other than your much loved Art Glitter Glue. You had me laughing out loud !!! I use nothing but Art Glitter Glue on everything but fabric as you do. FYI I just started using Tombo Aqua Mono liquid Glue - It's a little more expensive but just love the bottle it comes in and the fact that it goes exactly where you want it without puddling or stringing all over the place. As I've told you before - I don't know what I'd do without you -you have kept me going when all I wanted to do was crawl back into bed and forget the world. Making journals is my reward for going to my studio every day. You are so appreciated ! Thank You - deena

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thank you so much, Deena! I started making videos in 2016 and I bet some of those first ones are pretty hilarious! 😂. I love that the one you watched was the discovery of Art Glitter Glue! 😂. Gosh, I don’t know what I’d do without that stuff! I have a bottle of Tombo too and use it when I’m going somewhere that I can’t take my AGG because it might spill. It’s good too. It’s funny what videos YT will recommend sometimes! Thanks for sharing the story, my friend! ❤️

[@chamelaroo4683]

Glad you "kept us a little long" because that last cover was gorgeous! It would have been a shame to miss it. All of the covers came out great. I am one of the ones that sometimes struggles with what to do for the cover

[@sharonskains5049]

I remain amazed at how much you accomplish in one video. I love all the covers, but the last one was my favorite. I am excited to see how you eventually fill them up with luscious things. You are so kind and generous to offer your time as a fund raiser for the YWCA. You do so many things that continue on to change lives and give hope. If cloning ever becomes a thing, you should certainly volunteer!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

😂. Thank you, dear Sharon! I’m not sure the world can handle more than one of me! 🤣❤️

[@charlean_sherrod]

Ooh, I love it when you mass make covers, it really inspires me. These are all so beautiful… big hugs sweet Gayle. 🌸💕🌸

[@BizzymomStudio]

Loved seeing someone else’s process. I use spray adhesive to adhere material, and I like to pink the edges. Very nice mass make❤️

[@nancivessells1909]

I love these cover videos. Forget times. I could watch your videos all day, I was telling you NO NO don't glue it yet!!!

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

It's so nice to batch make or mass make some covers to have on hand. You have lots of fun fabrics, too. I guess I can't say good morning. Thursdays are my out of the house days so it's nighttime now. I hope you had a great day. Love&hugs

[@lalagamma4452]

Good Afternoon Gayle! Nothing better than a make ahead session with you. 🐞

[@ereybethfigueroa1423]

I love watching you create

[@rduckster4727]

I absolutely love when you make covers, Gayle! It’s my favorite part of journal making...wish I were better at finishing a journal once I start one LOL

[@joanndankovchik4861]

Love all the covers Gayle, and still another great film!!! Am considering getting out my sewing machine, it’s new and quite a few years old. You are an absolute Inspirational mentor!! Have a great time at your retreat, as I am positive you will, and again Thank you!!!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thank you so much, Joann! ❤️

Hi! Gayle, Thank you for sharing. HAVE a WONDERFUL DAY. Hopefully you have a great day with Mike.❤

[@tinlizzie4444]

Wow!! These are beautiful journal covers Gayle!! The slow stitch piece is going to look so very pretty on the pink rose fabric!! I can hardly wait to see how you decorate them all!! Fun video today!! TFS!! Hugs, Liz:)

[@kayhammock]

Hi Gayle. These are going to be fabulous!!

[@nancypyter1511]

Really pretty journal covers Gayle! I have not made one with the bubble mailer yet. And love those fabric ones!

[@joannewachel2505]

I love the last one the best! Such gorgeous colors and I am a fan of bird nests.

[@kathw7020]

Hi Gayle, pretty covers. Scraps of batting, lay them side by side zig zag them together to make bigger pieces, funny how we use every scrap. Great video as always.

[@kelleysgirl1]

Girl I found your journal cover playlist a while back- I've watching many of them! Love watching you make them. :)

[@smurfie161]

Wonderful covers , thanks for the idea of bubble wrap , I normally use felt but will give this a try also

[@cindyinaz2357]

Good golly Miss Molly that is a bunch of covers. I love watching you create these Gayle. Hope you and Mike have a wonderful 4th of July weekend. Big hugs.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Same to you, dear Donna! ❤️

[@simoneschneider4333]

Gayle I watch you from New Zealand I watched Unbelievable, it was good. Laughed about your cheese hanging off the cracker. Years ago my ex boyfriend used to say THE CHEESE HAS SLID OFF THE CRACKERS, maybe it has changed over the years, cracked me up when he said it and I have used it since for when someone ain't quite right ha ha.

[@CrafD2me]

I love watching you put together your covers. So far when you make these types of covers the end up being one signature journals. I wonder how to use your method but somehow include a spine for a bigger journal result?

[@barbaragrow8482]

Morning Gayle!😀

[@vanessarussell7997]

Good morning, making covers ahead is fun. I been making them also. Have a blessed day.

[@cynthiabuck9517]

[@lesliecaldwell2101]

Hello Gayle ❤️ The covers are fabulous! I was trying to tell you not to glue the covers that you wanted to quilt. lol I'm so glad you could hear me through the TV.

[@ameliasarno1210]

[@Kassitiee]

💜 Ty Gayle!

[@carolynchatham6376]

I love doing cover to match the theme of inside of the journal.

[@deanad9825]

OMG I LOVE IT GAYLE!!!!!!

[@donadeam2313]

I love that you introduce us to new fabric artists. I explored some of Kelly Rae Roberts fabrics and they so bright and cheerful. They are just perfect for summertime digitals. I love your journal cover playlist. It covers more types of cover than I’ll ever make. 😊

[@darvadeemac3515]

Hi Gayle. Love ❤️ hearing the bubbles 🫧 popping. Always makes me giggle 🤭. Have a great day. Hugs 🤗 DarvaDee

Awesome journal covers Gayle, love the mass make session. I need to have that session with a couple of items this weekend. Have a awesome day🤗💜

Ooh, I have the same sew machine and I love it. Take a little while to get used to it. Love, love all the covers. Thank you for sharing the process. hugs.

[@deedeeedychance7757]

I Love all these covers. Can’t wait to see the focal points you put on them. I tried to decide my favorite but couldn’t do it.

[@jayneterry8701]

Hi Gayle, I kind of zoomed along this video , though I enjoyed it 😄 too. I'm looking for the fabric cover video where after you modge, tissue paper them and then let them dry 4 days. Thank you sincerely 🙏 ps Keep in mind to have fresh needles as you are sewing paper to fabric and the needle would dull faster with the paper. 💖

[@ladonnaloehrke]

I love the lace you sewed onto the first pink cover! :)

[@nanjohnson8186]

I fell in love with the Kelly Rae fabric and had to rush right on over and buy myself a bunch of it. Now I hope my husband doesn't get the mail the day it's delivered..hahaha. but seriously he doesn't mind so we're all good. Loved the video and your going to have some great journals❣️

[@kimberlyhoward7896]

All the covers turned out beautifully. When you finish all the stitching can you show them 😊? I hope you have a great luncheon 😁! Thank you for sharing, take care 🤗💕!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

They’ll be shown in future videos. 👍❤️

[@susanchamberlain9226]

Wow! That was an amazing amount of covers! Loved all the fabrics used. 👏😁💕

[@donitamoore8123]

Such beautiful fabrics and you whipped them up into covers in no time! I need to bite the bullet and get a couple fabric covers made. I struggle with covers and have been nervous making a fabric cover. I just need to do it! Thanks for the confidence builder! Have a blessed day!

[@mouseydeb3245]

Good afternoon Gayle! Watched and listened to part of this at work this morning, too many interruptions 😆, had to finish it when I got home. I love making covers and need to do a mass cover make to get my mojo going. It’s good to have a few spare covers at hand. Yours are great! 👍 Have a wonderful holiday weekend. 💕

[@deniseb-g3475]

Good morning Gayle 💜 The slow stitch piece is so fun, looking forward to seeing it put together. Your cover fabrics are so beautiful!

[@msbecky]

These were all so cute!!!!! But you about scared me to death, I was outside with the new puppy letting it play and I was watching you… about the time you started to put glue on the bubble wrap I turned to watch puppy, well the sound reminded me of rattlesnake rattle and I jumped up looking for one… then realized it was coming from the video, so I sat down and had huge lol….but it gave heart a good workout!!!🤣🤣🤣❤️💕❤️💕

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Whoa, sorry about that, Rebecca! 😂❤️

[@jenbackler5347]

I was watching saying ‘no Gayle! Don’t glue the back on!’ I am going to go look through your play list to see if there is one with the quilting. I love the look of that and would like to try myself! Have a great long weekend! We have tomorrow off for Canada day here. 🥰

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

What I do is just follow the lines of the pattern on the fabric. 👍❤️

[@joannoble4093]

I just tried my new machine, t he Singer Heavy Duty. So far so good. I guess my Stylist was a lemon. My best Singer was my grandma's treadle. If I could have gotten parts for it I'd still be using it.

Love all the different ideas, I still make my covers like these ever since I first watched your videos😃 My Patchwork sometimes gives me trouble with my bobbin and I thought it was just me🤔 Have a great weekend Gayle. ~Shary~

[@kathmcmillen3217]

Love your covers! Now I want to mass make some lol. I'm sure I wouldn't get 7 done in an hour but I will try my best. So happy you love your machine! I was lucky to score a Brother project runway machine. I loved it so much I bought another. I is for fabric only and the other for crafting. I'm not spoiled at all lol. Hugs.....

Good Morning Gayle! So happy your doing covers today, I have to sew material on the same Amazon packaging and I can follow your tutorial.. yay! I got a large bird and flower calendar from the thrift store a year ago and finally cut it down to journal covers, the calendar pages are a thick linen paper; nice and sturdy. Have a great crafting day!! 👍🌼🌼🌼

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Morning Pat! ❤️

[@tammywilliams5006]

Yeah, we were telling you😆😆. I can see that the quilted cover with the more solid backside would have been nice quilted before the pocket had been added, but would you have also quilted the patchwork cover through the backside as well being that the quilting wouldn't have lined up on both sides?

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Love you too, JoAnn! I think Alfie stays with us enough (because of the girls’ volleyball trips) that he misses us when he’s at home. I told Mike that I feel bad because Alfie always has someone to miss…us when he’s home and his family when he’s here. 😢. On the other hand, he’s always super excited whichever family he’s sees coming to pick him up! 😂. I appreciate you too, my loyal crafting buddy!! 🥰❤️
