My inspiration

I take A LOT of fabric. Quite a bit is vintage, with pastels and lots of lace. So I decided, it was time to put together a Shabby Chichi Vintage All Material Junk Periodical.

Lately, I have been using one-time books for the covers of my journals. I wanted to challenge myself to make a different blazon of journal. Firstly, looking for ideas on YouTube, I was inspired by ARTEmaze and how she put together her fabric book. At that place are iii parts to this YouTube tutorial and information technology was perfect for my claiming.

Rather than going through the complete procedure for making this journal, I am posting a flip through with a detailed clarification of each photo. I am in the process of doing a tutorial on how I made this on my YouTube channel.
