At first it pained me to know that you were going to cut up that perfect jean jacket! But when I saw the closures you made from the bottom band I knew it was worth it and I know that you will make beautiful use of the rest of that jacket. There are millions of jean jackets in the world, but only one jean journal cover creation by Barbara! Can't wait to see part 2!
Wow this is so cute, the flowers really made the design with the embossing. Love this Barbara
Love how this is looking Barbara... looking forward to seeing it come together.. Cheers for sharing...
Love love LOVE!!! Looking forward to seeing the finished piece!! So cool!
You never cease to amaze me with your creativeness- love this x
Love the look of this denim journal cover. Looking forward to the next part. Looks amazing.
Oh my goodness!! I am catching up on watching your videos and I can't describe how much I LOVE this cover - can't wait to see the rest of the journal!
Love the denim. A good while back I cut some denim jeans to make journal covers. They just did not look right…….and here today you have inspired me to return to my project and start working with them again🤗🤗🤗…… Thank you for sharing🥰
Morning Barbara, WOW, WOW WOW. Love, love the cover. You are so inspiring, imagine using old jeans like you have just done. GENIUS!!!!!! Stunning. Looking forward to the next episode of our adventure. Blessings and hugs as always from Cape Town. Diana
You are so unbelievably talented. I love your video's. Thank you!
I like your trying different options to see the effect and then choosing the look you want.
Oh my goodness Barbara! This is so cool! Love how the cover turned out! Looking forward to the rest!
Wow this is so cool 😍😍❤️❤️ I love how you put this together, love all the little details 😍😍 gorgeous can’t wait for the next part 😊😊 TFS 😘😘😘😘
I love this journal and can't wait to see the rest! The little roses are so cute, I must try this.
Wieder mal ein tolles Beispiel dafür, dass man alles zu Hause haben MUSS, um es irgendwann einmal zu benutzen. Wer embossed schon auf Stoff, nur du...grossartig!

I know right?? The fabric embossing was one of my favorite parts!
What a brilliant way to use that waistband from the jacket! Look forward to seeing how the pockets get used too.
So cool! Your creativity is so fun to watch!
I was expecting you to pull out your golden wax at anytime to edge the florals, leaves and butterfly 🤣 This is very cool and inspiring though!!!
Amazing! I have a bunch of old jeans I have been saving!! 🎉🎉
Totally LOVE this cover! A great way to use old jeans & the flowers & butterflies are really pretty!! Thx for sharing this idea! You’re very creative.
Ooh, first thing I see 👀 is denim 😁😁😁 I have some stashed away somewhere. Wow that's cheap! Lol I remember wearing the rips🙊. So many handy bits and pieces. I'm loving the sound! Oh WOW I just noticed your nail polish!! Cool 😎. What a lovely blue that is 😍 and spraying through stencils onto fabric works beautifully! Brilliant closure idea 💡. The embossing works great 👍 I've never done it on fabric. I love it and looking forward to seeing the rest! Tfs and have a great day 💖💖💖

Oh Wow!! This is so fun! My journal made from my Grandsons 2 shirts has these fabric Roses on it. They are so fun to make. Very addictive. Lol. He brought me in some more shirts and a couple pair of Levi’s too. They aren’t as cute as your fun finds but there’s so many cute things you can make from them. I love the Gold Pearls too. Good choice. Can’t wait to see this Journal take shape. Exciting!!♥️♥️♥️

Absolutely fabulous!!!! I love your cover and will definitely make my version of this. It makes me think of the sixties when I was a teenager.💗
😍 Oh, I love this so far! Beautiful! Years ago I did an art journal cover made from jeans, I hand cut a bunch of circles and made layered flowers out of them😊 It's still my favorite cover I've ever made LOL💕
Wow!! I just cut the legs off my husband's old jeans to use yesterday!! Thanks!!

So pretty, I love jeans. 10 years ago when I started crafting I also made several fabric flowers this way. Some are laying around now but Imloved to make them. Love the embossing, such a nice grungy idea! Have a nice weekend! Greetings Maia
So coincidentally, I am also working with a denim cover today. I love the stamping on the fabric
Beautiful Barbara. I am making a fabric journal for my mom and used a soft denim for the cover. I used the pocket on the front for a tuck spot. And now I am going to use your idea and make some little flowers and also do some embossing on it. Thanks for the inspiration once again.😻
Wow, this cover is stunning 🤩🤩🤩
Stunning work!❤your creative process is truly inspiring. Thank you from 🇨🇦
