You do such lovely leather work, Sarah, and your setups are so detailed and specific for your needs. I so appreciate that the time and care you take with these things, and that you are able to change what you use if it's just not working.
Thank you, Sally! Gotta make our setups work for us and not the other way around, amiright?😁
Your leather craft is amazing and ur lining is so good it didn’t fail at all 😀 I love the journal for children idea. Looking back, I find the simple entries the most interesting too. I find the more I record, the more overwhelming it is to look back on!
hey Sarah. I'm so glad to see more videos from you. I watch a lot f your older ones over and over haha. I make my own UNprofessional covers and I still do not really stitch. I'm so envious of your abilities and it looks like you can whip up a cover with stitching so quickly thank you fr your videos and take care! I am so sorry for your loss
I’m glad you make your own covers too! Honestly the practice and repetition really help hone those skills. Each project is a little better than the last. And don’t be decieved-it took lots of hours over 2 days just to make that clasp cover🫠
I love the leather folder and I think I learn more from mistakes then for someone doing it perfect. Your videos just relax me so much watching them. You make me want to use a passport size for just my thoughts, kind of, hard to describe. Love and light to you, your family and fur babies.
Thank you, Marsha! I totally agree about making mistakes, haha
Wow ur covers r always so beautiful!!!!! The prayer book cover with big clasp is beyond beautiful. U always have wonderful ideas.& so inspiring. 🐩🐩🐩🥰
Thank you so much, Terri!
I love your setups and your covers! So inspirational... and I love how practical you are about your planners and journals ❤
Thank you, Yelena!
Would you ever consider making/ selling those leather page boards with the pen loop ? I would love one ( or a few in assorted sizes) lol ) for my journals !!!
I considered selling in the past but I just don’t have the setup or time (we move a lot, etc.) to properly dedicate to it. If I make another I’ll try to film it so there’s at least a how-to out there!
@SouthShorePaper
I think of making such a pen loop page board out of cardstock and scrapbook paper. Maybe not as durable, but costomizable, easy and pretty.
Oh Sarah, that book is adorable! love your new leather creations; totally wish I had your talent and creativity. Thank you for being so sweet and inspirational. Love you girl. 🌹
Thank you so much, sweet Cynthia🙏🏼♥️
You do such beautiful leather work! You're so talented, Sarah. And I love the setup of your passport and your prayer journal.
Thank you so much, Katie♥️♥️
You make the most beautiful covers! 😍
Aw, I appreciate that!♥️♥️
Thank you so much, we all inspired each other. KEEP JOURNALING!
So true🙌🏼
I really enjoyed this video....well, all your videos really 🙃🙂. That bible cover is amazing, I love the "choonky" closure strap 💗. What a beauty!! Thank you for sharing.....please keep your amazing videos coming 😊
I really appreciate that, Petra!
I love the covers that you made, so nice.
Thank you, Tania!
Your leather cover is gorgeous!!!
Heyyy! Thanks for sharing. Blessings! 💗💕💕
Blessings to you too, Karen♥️
The leather folio that you’ve made is amazing and with floral design it is totally better than any others that I’ve seen.
Thank you! It was a challenge so I’m glad it turned out ok 😀
That TN cover is gorgeous!! Great job!
Thank you, Lynnette!
Love the clasp! And the naughty fountain pen! Thanks for sharing
Haha, thank you!
I just opened the description for that leather link and just saw my name! whaaattt?! Sarah, you are too sweet!!! 😍 Thank you!💜💜💜
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Welcome back to CZcams. I haven’t seen you in a while. I’m so glad your video was recommended again. I love your leather folder great job!! I have cork and have considered doing one out of my cork since I could sew it as I don’t know how to do leather crafting.
Thank you! Cork would be amazing. I should actually get my hands on cork one day.
Sarah, the covers you make are beautiful! Every time you share one of your creations, I am in awe. I LOVE the pen loop idea!! Clever!!! Take care of yourself and thank you for sharing. ❤️
Aw, thank you!🙏🏼
You do such an amazing job making your leather covers. I love all of the covers that you have made especially the passport.
Thank you so much!
oh my goodness! i feel like i’m always just behind you on setups! this year’s hobonichi weeks aren’t speaking to me, and i’m looking into getting a passport monthly insert and making my own calendar. (we shall see if it’s any good 🤣) you also got me hooked on medium twsbi ecos!
I hear you on the Hobonichi covers! I went way out of my norm because I found all the florals and botanicals uninspiring. I hope you enjoy passport!♥️
Thank you so much for sharing this set up in the past few videos! I also keep journals to my children but having separate journals became cumbersome. Having thin inserts in one TN makes it like having 1 journal. I have already ordered my inserts but I’m doing A6 size since I love to journal in that size. I never would have thought of this idea so thank you again! 💜💜💜I didn’t see the link to the elastic strings but maybe I missed it.
I absolutely love knowing that others are keeping journals to their kids. I can’t think of a more special gift to leave them! Oh and I added the link to the elastic-thank you for reminding me😊
oooo....LIKE your chunky tab there....nice work!
Thank you!!
Glad to see you back, hope you are doing well. Missed your videos.
Thank you♥️♥️. Hoping you are well, too!
Your leather work is amazing! Great idea on using the passport size inserts. I was feeling the same way with my daughter’s Hobo Weeks, but I couldn’t pinpoint my issue. I’ve been wanting to move my current Stalogy setup into my Hobo Weeks and the piece that was missing was my grand babies’ memories. Beautiful notebooks. TFS! ❤️🤗
I totally get it! I quit trying to overthink any issues and skip to changing things up until it all “clicks”. I’m not bonding with my standard size setup so I’ll be diving into my leather to create something else😅
I love your videos😊
Gazelane! Thank you 🙏🏼
Great video‼️ I also really enjoy making my own leather covers🥰 I really like your leather cover with the snap, looks fantastic‼️tfs continue to lean on God💜🙏🏽
There’s something so satisfying about crafting an object that can be used and is useful for a long time! Thank you♥️
My life has changed so much it's kinda weird, I went from scheduling to the tenth degree to having only a couple of things a week. Rethinking what to do for 2023... the passport might be an option. Thank you for always sharing your process.
Major shifts in life really throw us back to square one! I hope you enjoy the process of exploring all your new options♥️
Your leatherwork is just beautiful, Sarah! And I think the floral fabric liner turned out really well.
Thank you, Barbara! The glue seeped through the fabric and made it splotchy but the pattern is busy enough to camouflage it, so I made it work😅
@@sarahmartinezjournals Couldn't see a flaw at all!
Such beautiful covers! And such an awesome setup. It’s wonderful how you adjust to fit what works for you. That sticker release paper… I’ve been eyeing a passport sized one and I can’t commit yet because I don’t think I’ll use it either. It seems perfect, but I can’t figure out if it will be a good fit for me. I love that you’ve started using a couple fountain pens again, for purely selfish reasons. 😹 I want everyone to be a fountain pen user. But those vintage pens are so beautiful and the flex nib sounds so cool. I’ve just recently purchased my first 2 vintage pens and I can see a rabbit hole appearing in the distance. 😹 Thank you so much for sharing! 🧡😸🖋
The sticker release booklet is such a great idea but I have never been able to make the standard or passport one work long term yet😆. I’m so glad I got my vintage pens out! I didn’t realize how much I missed using a good fountain pen. I’m so excited you now have your own vintage pens! I really wish I could try them out before buying since they cost a pretty penny.
30 seconds in and I just have to say that your cover looks like a brownie 😋 TFS Sarah 💗
The most delicious brownie chunk!😍😄
Lovely setup! I like how you use this tn. It’s amazing that you made it yourself! Speaking of collaging, would you mind recommending some channels please?
Thank you! I have some channels linked in the description♥️
This tn is so special and unique, both the cover and the journals - but the journals touch my heart 😍 I do a visual person for my little boy, and he loves flipping through it.
AND that leather is stunning!!! 🙌 I am definitely going to check out that link, I can totally see myself rebinding s bible in this leather during the holidays! I would love to see that process of that folder and the clasp they came out so good, wayyyy better than BKs, tbh 🤭
I hope you post a video on that fabric pen case! I'm dying to buy one, is shipping too long?
How adorable that your son can interact with your journal for him!♥️ If you rebind a Bible you HAVE to share that. The pen case is supposed to ship Monday-so about a week from placing the order to it shipping. But we’ll see how long the shipping takes. I’m excited!
Please tell me your secret to cutting the curve on your clasp! 🤣 I am having a terrible time with mine. Do you sand it?
I’ve done the fabric lining before too. I used it on the first folio I made. It about gave me a nervous breakdown. Ha!🥴(I kid, but it had some hairy moments.) I love it though and plan to incorporate it on future projects as well.
So happy to see you posting again, Sarah. You have such a delicate and beautiful soul; I’ll be praying the rosary for you’re family. God bless! Oh, and you do an excellent job on your notebooks! 🤩
Thank you for the prayers, Elizabeth♥️♥️. I really wish I had a secret for cutting the curve. But a lot of it was me going through my pantry trying to find cans and jars with the right diameter. A strawberry jam jar won, haha. I placed it on the leather, held my breath and cut around it with an xacto knife. It was the worst. There are a few slightly choppy areas. For the backing piece that holds the snap, I glued it to the rounded piece and used the rounded piece as a guide cutting tiny pieces off the backing piece with my rotary cutter. That went ok. But I plan to sand the edge (it needs it bad!) and maybe burnish it.
You are so talented! I was thinking of asking you to make me a pocket size chunky clasp TN until you said it was horrendous to make. lol I love a chunky clasp. I enjoy your set-up! Take care.
Thank you! I’m too stubborn to buy the right tools for new projects so I was literally trying canned goods and jelly jars to get the right curvature for that clasp! It was my first time so even if I planned to sell, it needs a lot of refining😅
@@sarahmartinezjournals That is to funny. If you ever want to try and make me one, let me know! @angiepayne262
❤️❤️❤️
Hi Sarah, I’m really enjoying watching your videos! Would you mind sharing some of your favorite CZcams channels you watch for collage ideas?
Great question! Added the links to their channels in the description😊
I'm so glad you are making videos again! Did you film making that pen loop folder?
Thank you! I didn’t film the pen holder because I wasn’t making videos back then. But I’m thinking of making another one sometime so I’ll be sure to turn the camera on for that!
I like your journal cover. I make my own but have never tried stitching them. Do you use a regular sewing machine with a leather needle to sew it or do you have a special machine? I love the stitched look but have not ventured out to try doing the stitching. You do beautiful work!
I hand stitch my covers. Leather sewing machines are thousands of dollars! There are lots of CZcams tutorials on how to hand stitch leather. It’s way cheaper but takes more time.
Love this our styles, needs and wants change so why wouldn’t our planners too. I tried the weeks couldn’t get into it and I had bought a chic sparrow cover never used it what a waste right I didn’t like the waste either I should sell the cover!
Yes! I got rid of so many covers and realized if I don’t bond or connect with any cover (even ones I make) I need to get rid of it or alter it.
Hi Sarah! Maybe you can help me. I saw a video of someone doing a beautiful layout using Niconeco items. She was laying and layering the pieces on a page in her TN, I think...In any case, her work using Niconeco pieces, the placement of the items, was absolutely gorgeous. I am on my 2nd order and need some inspiration. Any idea of who you know in the CZcams world? I search your videos and didn't seem to find any.
I know these ladies use stuff from Niconeco: Carrots and Olives, Frenchy in Focus, Iambrownholic.
Enjoyed the new video! Bdw, where did you get your prayer book?
Thank you! My dad gifted this one to me. It covers Orthodox prayers and liturgy. Found it on Amazon though: amzn.to/3aGjOXH
It's SUCH a genius idea to just make to knots on the "conch" to hold it in place! 😍 I've got the big, round one from Nomado Store and I quite like the contrast of the gold brass and black leather but it bothers me TO DEATH that it's always moving around, HAVE TO TRY IT! 🙏🏼 I'd love to buy the BK Brass Heart BUT I THINK it's discontinued as well as the BK star?! 🌟🤔😔
BTW: The Leather is just GORGEOUS! 😟 Like EVERYTHING looks SO, SO BEAUTIFUL! ❤️ The folder, the pen loop... HAVE to check if you're on Instagram (NEED TO SEE MORE! 😅) and especially if you're selling your DIVINE leather goods! 🙏🏼 I'd love to buy something from you 🙏🏼
Oh yay! I’m so glad it was helpful😊. I don’t keep up with IG anymore-too much social media drives me crazy, haha. I don’t have plans to sell (just don’t have enough time to properly dedicate to that endeavor) but I never say never! Thank you so much for your sweet comment♥️
@@sarahmartinezjournals I totally understand your point about social media Sarah! Ohh and I wast just wondering if you're making your TNs / Leather Goods yourself bc I'd DEFINITELY be interested in buying! ❤️ Don't wanted to ask about about selling me this TN you've probably bought! 😅
I'm wondering if you wouldn't mind making a video showing how to substitute the clasp for the knot? I would like to do that. Thank you.
Do you mean adding a metal barb to the closure elastic in place of a knot? I don’t have anymore of the ball chain connectors that I used but if I get more, I’ll be sure to film it! I basically cut the elastic to size and put both ends in the ball chain connector and squeezed it closed with pliers.
@@sarahmartinezjournals thank you that is exactly what I meant! Very simple. But….what is a ball chain and does one just put that into the search on Amazon and order it? Thank you!
Would you have a link for the weekly passport inserts?, please..
The dated one I have is no longer in stock at most shops but here is the undated version: www.jetpens.com/TRAVELER-S-COMPANY-TRAVELER-S-notebook-Refill-007-Passport-Size-Free-Weekly-Planner/pd/13644
Love how both of these covers look Sarah!! Would you be open to potentially selling the leather page/pen holders? I would absolutely love one for my passport too :)
Thank you! I thought about selling a while ago, but I just don’t have the setup or time to do it right (we keep moving, etc.).
@@sarahmartinezjournals no worries! If you change your mind, I would be very interested!!
Your leather work is impeccable! Question. Does the fact that the pages don't lie flat, irritate you in anyway? Lovely TN, btw.
Thank you! Honestly, it would bother me if I was writing in it for a longer period of time. As it stands, I’m only in all 3 inserts for an average of 5 minutes total each day. If I’m doing longer journaling in a separate passport insert, I will take it out of this cover to write in it. Technically the inserts will lay flat if you bend them backwards at the spine but I don’t have the heart to do it often😅
@@sarahmartinezjournals thank you for your response 😊
What makes the leather look like that?
It’s the tanning process. I can’t remember exactly but during the process there’s a point when the leather shrinks causing the cracking.
There must be some rule somewhere stating that women's wallets and diaries/notebooks must be thicker than one inch 🤔
Haha! My wallet is thin. Balance. 😁
