Kooky Tutorial - SLOW STITCHING A JOURNAL WRAP - Part one

[@linepaquet931]

Thanks for the tutorial. I am like you, a lover of fabric and texture.

[@KoolKookyKreatures]

So pleased you enjoyed it :) 🥰

🎉🎉 It's 1 AM Sat morn and I truly want to forget sleeping and start gathering materials. I am SOOO excited to get started. But I suppose I should sleep. 😊. I enjoy your laughter and all the videos. Thank you.

[@KoolKookyKreatures]

I know that feeling well Ann! When I get excited to make something it takes an effort to not rush immediately into my studio and start grabbing out supplies! Sleep is important though 🥰. I’m so pleased that you are enjoying the channel ❤️

[@tracyleecornish5398]

I do Love your slow stitching felt wrap those colours! 😍😍🌻🌻❤❤🎨🎨 I plan to do one for my little Art Journal sketch book. Thank You for Sharing

[@KoolKookyKreatures]

Thank you Tracy :). Enjoy making 🥰

Hi Tori, I am so, so loving all your videos. I adore your journal wrap. I'm going to make myself an A5 size one and then I will make some smaller ones for Christmas presents. I've got so many gorgeous bits and bobs in my stash and I've made a large crumb quilted hobby bag. I embroidered on top the the patchwork and then added pretty notions. Each area of the bag tells a little story. After finishing this, it took me months to do, I had withdrawn symptoms from it. But guess what? I found your channel!!! You have given me such fantastic ideas and given my mind and fingers a new lease of life. Thank you so much for sharing your talent x

[@KoolKookyKreatures]

Diane - you are so welcome!! I’m happy that my videos have helped in some way! 🥰. Your crumb quilted bag sounds fabulous - I love that you have a story for each part! 🥰❤️

[@artyfartyannie]

Oooh the gorgeousness s making my mouth water Tori, definitely going to follow along with this one, I might just be able to find a couple of bits of fabric and one or two art journals to wrap! :)

Tori, wundaweb - it’s amazing for holding your squares/shapes down without pins, clips or tacking! It’s fab!!

[@KoolKookyKreatures]

I have some wundaweb but my pieces tend to be very small and so it would be more of a faff for me I think. Maybe on bigger pieces :) x

[@user-cl7ef5kn9g]

Wow those wraps are beautiful and the fabric and thread for the one you just started are amazing 😀 Exciting times ahead

[@KoolKookyKreatures]

Thank you so much - I’m really enjoying putting it together :) x

[@juststartingover2735]

Love this! This may be my first journal cover. Cant wait to get started. 🤗

[@KoolKookyKreatures]

So pleased you enjoyed it. Let me know how you get on with your journal cover 🥰

[@echozines]

Wow, I'm totally in love with your book covers! Thanks for sharing the process of how you make them! The inner fabric with the running stitches already looks amazing!

[@KoolKookyKreatures]

Thank you! 😊. The running stitch part of the inner is sooo relaxing. I was sat in the sunshine with a cup of tea and a podcast on - bliss! 🥰

[@echozines]

@@KoolKookyKreatures sounds like a perfect sunny day activity to me!

[@KoolKookyKreatures]

It certainly was 🥰

[@deanauvaart]

I love this! You've inspired me to slow stitch ;)

You are very welcome :). Happy stitching 🤗

[@cathyjenkins5985]

Thank you ❤️

[@suebrown3194]

I absolutely love the fabric and thread you used for your "inner" of this journal wrap! I need to go find a journal to wrap... 😉

[@KoolKookyKreatures]

Thank you so much - the fabric on the inner side is very “me” :) 🥰

[@GypsyinAus]

[@KoolKookyKreatures]

Thank you Mikelle and so pleased you enjoyed it 🥰🤗

[@Kayenne54]

Such beautiful wraps! And I really like the thread you used for the inner lining. Would you happen to know what it's called or some other identifying info? I saw it was the Anchor brand, but couldn't catch any other details.

[@KoolKookyKreatures]

Hi there! It is Anchor 1375 in a number 5 perle thread :) 🥰

[@Kayenne54]

@@KoolKookyKreatures Thank you!! Brilliant.

[@TheTruckingScribe]

I am having a hard time finding the right size needle. If I can get the thread threaded, the needle is dull or huge.

[@KoolKookyKreatures]

A sashiko needle or a chenille needle is probably the best to use as the eye is bigger but the needle is sharp and not dull. I suspect the large eye needle that you are trying is a darning needle with a blunt end. Hope that is helpful! ☺️

[@TheTruckingScribe]

@@KoolKookyKreatures Thank you! I am working on slow stitch toppers for junk journals. After watching one of your videos, I decided to try one. It’s been along time since I have done embroidery. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@KoolKookyKreatures]

@@TheTruckingScribe you are very welcome! If you have any other questions please don’t hesitate to pop them on here and I will get back to you ASAP :) happy stitching! 😊

[@rohanikamso9387]

Thanks for the awesome tutorial. Just a question, if I’m not getting a ripple effect - is it because my wadding isn’t thick enough or is it because I’m going right through the wadding when stitching or could it be both? I’m really new to stitching of any kind. Thanks

[@KoolKookyKreatures]

@rohanikamso9387 the ripple tends to come naturally as it is a running stitch going on one direction but don’t worry about it not being there. I’m sure your piece looks fabulous 🥰

[@hadiel6894]

Ciao,mi è piaciuto molto questo tutorial,dove posso trovare la seconda parte?(😢scusami ma sono anziana e non sono molto brava a trovare i video che mi interessano🤷‍♀️)spero che tu possa aiutarmi.Grazie❤

[@KoolKookyKreatures]

I think I saw that you have found this now :) ❤️

[@bunzerboy]

[@GypsyinAus]

Patience little grasshopper...kooky only posted this part an hour ago. we are sooooo lucky that Kooky is making this fabulous tutorial at all...part two is coming soon I’m sure...I’ve subscribed with all notifications so I don’t miss the next one. Im so excited about these videos. ❤

[@KoolKookyKreatures]

There will indeed be a second part very soon :)

[@KoolKookyKreatures]

Thank you Gypsy - I’m excited to get going with the “pretties” on this one :) 🥰

[@bunzerboy]

oh I am so sorry, I thought this was older. Well, I better get part one done. Many thanks

[@KoolKookyKreatures]

No worries :) Enjoy getting together all your bits and pieces. The inner stitching takes a bit of time but for me is so worth the effort :) 🥰
