fabric journal

As promised in an earlier post I'm sharing images of my first fabric journal. I didn't want to go purchase a new notebook to write my poetry in so I decided I was making a journal. I chose three different fabrics from what I already had for the cover, backing and trim. Then I took out my thread and my free motion quilting foot and began stitching together my book. I decided to use typing paper as my filler instead of buying lined sheets for me to write on. A few days later I had me a very nice, personal journal for writing. Since I didn't use a any interface I had to have my husband bring home some lightweight but stiff plastic to use as a hard surface to write on. It's easily inserted inside and works nicely. Next time I'll try using the interface to see the difference, if any. Also, I may include a pen/ pencil holder and a folder. Possibilities are endless~
