This was a great tutorial, thank you for going over the stitching! I have so many old patterns and wasn’t sure what to make with them!! Thank you!

[@cindycarmichael9768]

Wow when I think of all the patterns, that I had since the 70's, that I could have kept and used! Who would oh thought! LOL Nice job and always cheerful video to watch. Thanks. 🤔👍😺👏

[@conniewilkins2128]

Thanks for showing us. That looks way easier then I thought it would be so I will have to try it. Thank you!

[@gloriaskipper1691]

Oh this ie exciting! Before I even get started! I have a ton of patterns and quite a few zippers so bring on the awareness!🤩

[@vickiemccubbin]

How fun! I have lots of old patterns (I used to sew all of my own clothes back in the day) and even have that Tim Holtz paper which I adore. Thanks for the fun ideas.

[@nancynorris9822]

So cute. I want to make a sewing theme journal . I used to be a seamstress and then I made loads of quilts. So I have lots of patterns and fabric on my stash! TFS 🤗

[@jensjunk5688]

This is SEW cute Jess! Sewing pattern journals are some of my favorite journals to make but I don’t think I’ve used the zippers in a fun way yet so I can’t wait to see how you use yours!! 🌷🌷🌷

[@susansheartstrings]

Darling journal using the sewing patterns! I was gifted a stack of sewing patterns and now after watching your wonderful tutorial I will try making some journals! Thank you so much for sharing! Hugs 💝

[@folkartgal1729]

I love this, thank you for your inspiring videos!

[@DeniseS-6867]

Hello Jessica, just love how you put together this sewing pattern envelope into a journal, it came out so pretty. TFS

[@05grandkids]

Love this video. Such a cute/clever idea for the sewing fans. Thank you..

[@amyhoffman4478]

Love this!!! Sparked some ideas for me!❤❤

[@susan2657]

I absolutely loved this journal came together really quick. I’ve been wanting to make one I didn’t know what to do with my pattern papers thank you so much.✂️✂️✂️

[@cathywhite6442]

Just brilliant. I've made one before but you have given me additional ideas thank you

[@diydecormorewithdeniselynn3676]

I'm currently working on a journal using vintage sewing notions & such...so fun! Thanks for sharing I'm inspired to add a few more things

[@binkiewillis8203]

What a cute journal!! I’m planning to make one with lots of goodies from my mom’s sewing stash. And the button cards! Thanks for sharing!

[@bettymetz3746]

Cute little project! I am looking for real vintage (1960’s) patterns to make a sewing journal right now. So far none of the prolific garage sales have had any😞. Blessings from Betty in Ohio.

[@sherrybarfield8446]

Great idea. I found these kind of patterns a couple of weeks ago 20 for $1.00! Happy girl!

[@kathleenalcalapapercrafts]

I thought using the sewing pattern envelope was a great idea. I have so many patterns now I know what I will try. TFS ❤️

[@Sheamarie]

Adorable, you always have so many cute ideas. Thank you for sharing.

[@martistarnes9062]

Very cute idea Jessica!! Thank you for another one!!

[@angelv527]

Super cute and quick tyfs 🌸

[@gedartcreations2869]

Lovely! Thank you for taking the time to share this with us💞

[@skullingtonfly]

Looks really nice 👏👏👏

[@priscillafriesen148]

I appreciate the video! I want to use the sewing machine in my journals, do you recommend a certain type or size of needle? Does sewing on paper dull the needle so that you would want to change it out before using it on clothing?

[@jayneterry8701]

I sew but hadn't thought of that! Maybe have a separate needle for your paper. Also Jess did use an awl first to poke the holes so that wouldn't effect the needle. 🙂 Hope that helps.

[@catherinedoherty2025]

How fun was that😻!

[@conniesmith9989]

Hi. Hello. Howdy. From Texas. Awesome. Thank you. More, please.

[@pathackler4606]

Treasure Books has a great zipper lesson.😊

[@susanmoses9413]

Love your videos

[@sherryvanderpool8644]

A fantastic journal

[@lorimontgomery3282]

For a zipper idea, Artymaze did a zipper pocket that was fun to make.

[@jamiemueller1881]

I scored dozens of old patterns at my Goodwill (few bucks for a few dozen). Love this idea! I was thinking I might combine your concept with Gayle A's idea of putting Amazon bubble packaging between the cover and inside paper. Love this little book and love all things sewing. This would make a great gift for someone who sews; he or she could use it to sketch pattern ideas, notes on projects, and put notions in pockets. Thanks for a great tutorial!

[@Bluebird_Legacy]

Love this!

[@fyrtalker]

This is wonderful! I’ve been wanting to make a journal with pictures of the quilts I’ve made and this would be perfect! Does sewing through the original pattern envelope cause it to rip?

[@lauriesmith372]

Love it!😻

[@alisonbell3475]

Loved this do you have more videos on the use of sewing machine? Also what type of needle and instrument do use for the spine sewing of the book. X

[@PennyHumphreys]

Loved this Thank you 🤗

[@kathleenroush2781]

Would giving it a thin coat of mod lodge type product help keep it from falling apart

[@leeanntazladystreasures1270]

You can make zipper tags with the zippers. I have made a few of those. Enjoyed your video!!!

[@priscillafriesen148]

Do you have any pictures of the tags? Or is there a video you got instructions for the tags?

[@leeanntazladystreasures1270]

@@priscillafriesen148 This is one of the videos that I watched, kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZLde5d4q9mqgKc . You can do a search on here for zipper tags and there are several videos.

[@anniegreenhalgh2417]

Great thanks 😊

[@wendyschmidt4339]

Super cute😊

[@donnameyers8497]

So cute ❤❤❤❤.

[@PennyHumphreys]

I know a lady doing a sewing journal paperlace and some deb 🤗🤗

[@janetpogue4970]

Great gift from one of your followers! I have my dress patterns from '69-'74. The commercial promo boxes I am not interested in seeing. They use wasteful packaging. The plastic is so polluting to manufacture and isn't biodegradable. Bummer!

[@susanzeiter3850]

What was the name of the thread you used to sew the signature?

[@crafterdeidra]

Wax thread

[@CA-cg3uf]

Cute, but as someone who sews, it killed me to watch you make that, lol

[@jayneterry8701]

Ah . I sew too but have so many patterns! Since I'm new to junk journaling I looked over my patterns and just pulled a few that I really liked but knew I would never sew ( out of style, size too small) So repurposing the cover of the pattern for a journaling cover I get to enjoy it that way!

[@karenkettering1725]

In the 70s!

[@lulujones2279]

I cringe, when l see vintage patterns, and buttons removed from perfect cards, to be used for projects. But, thats just me. 😢
