It’s comments like yours that keep me going. Thank you.

Hi Julia, it's 2nd January 2024 and I've decided to set some life goals and use journals to keep track of my progress. I was so excited to see this video as it's inspired me to make covers for my journals. Thank you so much for sharing your method - I can't wait to choose some fabrics and get started ❤

Every time I watch your videos, I say " I have to do more mixed media paper projects" I love your work!

Julia, I love your projects because you are creative in your choices. The improved sweatshirts are my favorites. Can you give me reasons why I need to make those journal covers that are so cute. Do people use them anymore and what for. I think I’m missing out on something that others are fond of. Help me.

Hi Julia! Your journal covers are fantastic! They can be as plain or embellished as you like depending on the lucky recipient. I have a few orphan quilt blocks that didn't work out in a project that would be awesome as a journal cover with some embellishments. Thanks for sharing your creativity and the inspiration!

Hello again Julia, I have a few questions that I hope you will have the time to answer. 1. The inks you use, archival, do you have to heat set for them to be permanent on cloth? 2. The brushes used, how do you clean them? 3. Do you use the same brush for the different colors or? 4. What are your preferred ink colors that you use for almost everything? I ask because I would like to make the journals for a craft fair I have coming up. I have been using embroidery and sometimes I can't find the theme I want, so, stencils to the rescue! Thanks for your help in advance.

The archival inks are waterproof. I didn’t heat set mine. If I’m using a stencil, my favorite way is using the archival ink pads and oval makeup brushes. You should clean the brush before using a new color.

I tried to make this, but not knowing the size of the lining I'm really struggling 😅

@stitchesbyjulia

The lining size depends on your notebook size. The height is cut the same as your front and the width is cut an 1” shorter on each side.
