Oh my goodness. This is absolutely gorgeous. Just wow. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@Saacibo]

You are so welcome! Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching 😊❤️

[@antm64]

I am immediately intrigued by how you used dangle lace on the finished cover...very unique application. OO-oo-oo! 2nd cover, too! I would never have thought to use the dangles this way. Your machine has a very smooth operating sound. Thank you for taking the time to set your camera in a good position for us to see what you are doing...much appreciated! I have learned a ton of new things while watching your skilled hands work. Valuable video...much appreciated!!

[@Saacibo]

I’m so glad you found the video enjoyable and helpful. I use Brother Strong and Tough sewing machine. I turn the sound volume down during editing process. So it is a bit louder in real life, but too bad. I’m very happy with it. Thank you very much for watching and commenting 😊❤️

[@imagesbykim]

very beautiful, I enjoyed watching your process. Thank-you for sharing, have a very creative week!

[@Saacibo]

You're very welcome! I'm glad you like it. Thank you so much for watching 😊❤️

[@famprima]

Don't you just love, love, LOVE all the opportunities to use mixed media on junk journaling? Every creative nerve and crafty muscle is tickled!!

[@Saacibo]

I agree 100%! What a beautiful explanation, love that!

[@priscellachacon1952]

THANK YOU so much Dragana!! This tutorial was awesome and you definitely make it look so easy. I myself will need to go to goodwill and get some crocheted placemats or tablecloth.

[@Saacibo]

You're very welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you so much for watching 😊❤️

[@jeansimrose]

I love this cover! I have some eco dyed fabric that I’m going to use for a cover! ❣️

[@Saacibo]

It's a great idea to make journal covers with eco dyed fabrics, makes them really unique and special 😊❤️

[@TubeYouLena]

Oh, the final product is soooo rich, the whole project is so fun! I really like the design/arrangement on the cover and want to try to replicate it to some extent. On a smaller version, with materials I have and hand-stitching as sewing machines do not like me. I have only flat lace but I want the chunky one. I will probably visit some thrift stores to see if there are any items made with crocheted lace that I can cut out. I will look perhaps in tablecloth, bed throws and dresses/skirts sections of the stores. As for the work with brown paper bags, I have only two. But I can substitute those with perhaps 5 layers of newspapers. I already tried to make two projects with newspapers and loved the result (an origami pocket and paper bag ). After the base was done, I collaged pieces of fabric on the whole surface on the outside and used policy envelopes ‘buttons’ with brads and some twine for closures. Thanks for great inspirations, as usually!

[@Saacibo]

I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you so much for watching. Newspapers would work great for the cover. I love the sounds such covers make. I'm always on the lookout for the crochet laces and tablecloths with lace. Sometimes I go to the local flea market to get some. They're usually cheap if they have coffee stains, but I really don't mind. I'd stained them anyway. 😊❤️

[@rhondaclofer6038]

Lengthy, but worth it and beautiful. I will definitely give it a try.

[@craftingexperiments-StellaT]

[@Saacibo]

Thank you Karen ❤️😊

[@pjcim1960]

I just thought of a suggestion, after all the machine stitching, i can see it pulls in the fabric at different points. Heres my suggestion you could try maybe on a practice piece of stitched material, maybe lay or not, a thin cloth on top of ur stitched fabric, a press it , or another idea, maybe a light steaming this could possibly allow all the stitches, & sewn fabric to relax, and possibly to lay out a better proportional size, taking a measurement before you iron, than again after your iron/steam, i hope i was able to give you a suggestion, as for your covering , if your not able to understand me, let me know, and I'll try to figure out a better way to explain that method , good luck, let me know if that works out for you.

[@Saacibo]

Great tips! Thank you so much! I’ll keep that in mind for next time 😊❤️

[@kyranmacwood1278]

Wauw, wauw, wauwwwww for any aspect of this cover💙🐙💦
