Years ago there was a popular blanket called a "crazy quilt" which was made in a similiar manner; all size pieces of fabric were top stitched just like this. It probably was actually done this way by pioneer women to make blankets using up scraps. I like the idea of using what's on hand and not throwing things away. I grew up learning to be frugal and I'm still that way.

[@jeanneblondewomanstamping9788]

Would be very interested in a series on different ways of making journal covers. 🙏🙏🙏👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@barbaracabrera207]

Me too!

[@christinegray6819]

I love the patchwork ones, the blue in particular. I need to search for fabric!

[@junkjournalsbysarah]

Love these!!! If you're looking for another amazing show to watch together I have absolutely adored "call the midwife" it is my absolute favorite!! I haven't loved a show this much since Dowton Abby

[@ellym279]

I'm learning a lot. Thank you.😊

[@lenawarelius4195]

Great video for me as a newbee 😍👏😊🌞🌼🌻🌺🌹🤗 crafting along and haveing fun 🙏❤🤗

[@shrnybg]

I just love listening to you. I think you are absolutely adorable and I love your interaction with your baby girl. She has such a sweet voice. I have also found that making fabric journals is easier for me. I have a harder time with the paper ones. Ive also started to mass make embellishments. Seeing how you keep yours all together has helped me. Thank you so much for sharing your talents and your knowledge of journaling. The noise in the background is not bothering me at all. I do wish that I could become more comfortable with stitching

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Oh thank you so much Sharon, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your kindness. I am probably the opposite and need to get more comfortable working with fabric x

Love that you did fabric journals today... I feel you on the kitchen flooring project...my kitchen has been gutted since Nov. 3rd...and they and installing flooring in there and I am having my entryway, hallways and living room all patched, primered, and repainted to match the brand new kitchen. Complete chaos...

[@Wvnursey]

Thank you, Thank you, thank you! I have 1000 of those envelopes that my office was going to throw away and I brought them all home. Now I know what to do with them!!!

I enjoyed seeing these journal covers and would love to see a series on journal covers! Thank-you! 😃

[@shellybooth5208]

The green and white Toille!!! Be still my heart.

[@motherofdogs27]

If you have enough fabric, completely cover the envelope with the thick fabrics and then add your thinner fabrics on top. Removes the “dips” and further supports the idea of patchwork. You could also (if your sewing machine has them) use decorative stitching to give the illusion that it’s a crazy quilt. I have a LOT of fabric, so I see this in my future, for sure!

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you for the fantastic tips, have fun with your fabrics x

[@pennykitzmiller]

I love these. They are so beautiful. Very enjoyable.

[@DebbieZagarit]

Wonderful Tina. You can barely hear the banging. The blue diamond fabric looks like curtain or cushion material. Love this type of cover. Frankenpage style. Much love xxx

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you so much Debbie and for the feedback about the noise. Yes you’re right the blue fabric does look like cushion or curtain fabric, I really love it x

Do NOT watch Bridgestone with your young daughter. It starts “nicely” but becomes very “saucy”. Love the covers.

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you Lindsey, I have just watched the first episode so far, even that was pretty steamy!!! Lol x

[@terrilarue2031]

We did an entire new floor during the first 5 weeks of the pandemic here in America (Which we did) . Our kitchen was supposed to be next year - then my husband got an itch to start it. As soon as he started he got called back to work for 6 weeks!!! Our kitchen was a mess - but I did have my stove!!! I totally understand!!!!

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Oh my goodness, what a nightmare that must have been! I must admit my worst fear was that the lockdown restrictions would be tightened up again mid way through the job and that we would be stuck without our kitchen for weeks!!! Fingers crossed they are nearing the end x

[@Teresacraftshack]

I love this idea! It never occurred to me to use different kinds of fabric on a cover.

Hello Tina, WOW, what an awesome idea Just love the covers, especially the blue one with the lace insets and also the medieval one. Can't wait to see how you are going to do the journals to go with them. PLEASE, PLEASE, make a complete journal for us to see using one of the awesome covers. LOVED, LOVED, this video and a series of filling the covers will be AWESOME. Hope your floor works out well and the noise was no problem, we heard very little, and anyway, that is the noise of life. Have a wonderful day with your adorable daughter and as always, Blessings and hugs. Diana

Thank you so much Diana. I have been really lucky to have been gifted such beautiful fabrics, yes isn’t that medieval one just gorgeous?

Wow Tina the fabrics were all so beautiful! Sometimes I make a fabric cover with just the fabric if it is a think fabric. Have you done any like that? It’s a really soft journal. I used paper on the inside but mostly love doing an all fabric one...if you do one on video I will do one too following you! I am sure many of your followers would too. Just an idea...hope your kitchen floor came out beautiful. Xx ❤️ Btw..I love your fabric collage which inspired me to start one. I will do the cover then do some embellishments, then complete the journal. Thank you Tina! Xx

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Do you know I actually can't remember if I have done an all fabric cover or not! Lol. I think I did a Cinderella journal using only fabric for the cover, but I can't remember for sure. Too many journals!!!! I might have to give it another go (or first go quite possibly). It's so nice to have our kitchen back, thank you. Have fun with your collage cover x

[@kimw4324]

Love the fabric cover ideas! I have an embroidery machine and would love to figure out ways to use it on journal covers 🤔

[@ElainaRoberts]

A note for those who want to use lighter fabrics or silks and worry about glue bleed through - turn the fabric into book cloth. Get some of the double-sided iron-on bonding adhesive (HeatnBond is one brand). Iron the back of the fabric you want to use, then iron the other side onto tissue paper (like you pack gifts with). The fusing will hold the cloth to the paper, the paper will absorb the glue. Unless you go really really overboard, it shouldn't bleed through!

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you so much Elaina, what a fantastic tip x

[@ElainaRoberts]

@@shabbydabbydoodah I've used this method with thin silks and linen and it works beautifully. 😁

[@angelathoma-dogwoodpaperarts]

I really enjoyed watching the variety of covers being made. Such beautiful fabrics, makes me want to go shopping, but the numbers are too high for covid in this area, so I will be staying home a bit longer. However, nothing can stop me from doing a little shop online, lol. Love how you've added bits of lace sections to the cover. That is really gorgeous. I must get brave and try this. I am such a doily and old lace cloth hoarder.

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

I know what you mean about the numbers at the moment. It’s getting very worrying isn’t it? Shopping online is definitely best, hope you find some nice fabrics. I know what you mean about hoarding the doilies especially, as I very rarely find any so actually using them is really hard to make myself do, lol. Stay safe x
