- In this video I show my process for making a basic fabric covered journal cover. Part 2 of this series will show the sewing portion.
Supplies you will need:
heavy fabric for outside of cover
muslin or cotton fabric for inside cover
glue - fabric glue or very tacky glue
old paintbrush
cardboard
scissors
sewing machine with zigzag, thread
Not boring at all. Leo is just helping supervise. Well now there is nothing for me to worry about. I can do this. Thanks so very much Wendy.
Forget about the journal!! I want to see more of your wonderful kitty cat!! :-)
Very helpful,thank you.Yiota ,Greece
I've never made a fabric-covered journal cover, so this was very inspirational! Thank you, Wendy! xo
Wendy, this was such a generous insight into your specific process. I cherish my journal and was so mesmerized by the craftmanship. You make it look so easy. I have tons of old drapery samples laying around our office. The wheels in my mind are turning. Tfs.
Michelle Brown awesome, go for it Michelle! ❤️❤️
OMG what an awesome craft companion your cat is. Gorgeous cat, gorgeous journal.
Got to love Leo and his appearances! TFS, Wendy!
Thank you so much Wendy I really enjoyed your tutorial and seeing Leo 🐈 is a real bonus. And nothing you do is boring love 💕 love 💕 love 💕 watching and you’re truly an inspiration to us all xx Mags
kitty looks like a good helper
This is great! I am on a budget and don't have a sewing machine. I use tacky glue and then staple around it. But then use e6000 on top of the staples with ribbon to cover it up!
I have two Siamese kitties. I loved watching Leo and he is a gorgeous cat. Thanks for the tips.
Thanks for sharing your how to. Love how kind you are to your cat. We have a Yorkie...
Again, excellent help. Good archived reminder of the fundamentals. You're the best! Glad to have re-discovered it.
😊🦋🌻
I know you didn't mean to make us laugh during your video, but that BUDDY is a character! I cvan't wait to start making these.Thank you for your help.Your videos are so clear.Well done!
Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing!🙋🏻😍😘💜💕
Leo cracks me up. He just likes being on camera. lol
Gonna do this for sure. Love Leo, I have a Stewart loves to help and lend support as well. Moving on to part 2. Thanks much.
Thank you so much for your video Wendy!!!! It has really helped me and I feel a bit more confident now in making a fabric cover for a junk journal.😊
Thank you Wendy. I have no excuse now not to cover one of my journals. I am fairly new to this as ive said before but I learn quickly. Love your tutorials and easy step by step process. I also love the botanical theme of your journals. I have learnt so much from your tutorials and can now master a flip and tuck pages. As I said ive made a few but haven't finished or covered one as i' still gleaming ideas from you and your peers. I am also inspired by Junk journal junkies and I note all of the names mentioned and try follow up the information. Thank you again.
Thank you for this tutorial. You explain the process nicely. Loved it. Lee is too cute
I wanted to try out using fabric on covers but I dont know how I'll do it until I found you. This is really helpful. Thank you so much for sharing this!
Cha Atienza you are very welcome Cha! ❤️❤️
Hi Wendy, thank you for the tutorial, looking forward to the other videos.
Your journals are lovely! And your so lucky to have such an enthusiastic supervisor who always wants to help you work!
Something you might want to try if you haven't already... try adding a little bit of water into the glue. It will make that glue a little bit thinner and less tacky so you have slightly more time to apply the glue and it will apply more evenly. I hope that makes sense and helps someone.
Melissa Ann thanks for the tip Melissa Ann! ❤️
Thank you so much, Wendy I really love 💕 this......& Leo 🐈 too. xx Mags
I love Leo!!! I miss having kitties
Oh my goodness you kitty is being so adorable!!
Leo says, "you forgot to mention the cat hair when you gave the list of supplies." ha ha. He's adorable.
Hahahah I just love Leo! This is not boring. I often wonder if I'm boosting the best way to make my journals or if there's an easier/better way to do it so this was great to see!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! Your videos are very entertaining!

Leo wants to craft also 🥰
Just a question. Is the white material fabric or paper? Thanks for this tutorial.
Leo is awesome!! Great video tfs! New subscriber 😊x
thank you
Is there a Part 3? I was hoping you would show how to install pages in your beautiful book cover.
TFS! I love how this turned out. Do you sew it within that 1/8-1/4" or do you see along the edge catching the cardboard also? I did watch the second video but couldn't tell. Hope that made sense!
Hi Wendy great video, just watched it again, have made my cover, how do you then decorate the inside of the cover, do you put more fabric over the top of the linen or do you start by putting signatures in, these questions might seem silly, x
Hi !Hi mon chat est chez vous la couverture de l'album est trop belle merci jackie
When i talk on the phone, not very often, all my cats and the dog seem to head to me. I think they think, im talking to them. My cats do the same thing when i am recording and talking. Sometimes they talk back to me too.
Hi there can I ask did u use modge podge? And did it bleed thru the fabric
😮😮😮😮 thanks for this😍
Myryam you are so welcome Myryam ❤️
Hey again Wendy! Wanted to ask you when sewing does the glue gum up needle at all on you?? Have you ever tried sewing them dry and if so howd that work??? thanks
Debbie Ring hi Debbie, I haven't had any issues with the glue gumming up the needle. I do clean the sewing machine surface and wipe off the needle after each cover. I haven't sewn when the cover was completely dry but I have when it was partially dry (after an hour) and there was no problem. I hope that helps ❤️
Do u have to have a kitty supervisor
Fabric and spine hold me back. Scared which is totally stupid.
Camera *blurs to adjust* me *squints thinking it's just me* lmao, wow XD
Hi leo
How Fun! I just found you last night and can’t stop watching, thank you for sharing and your co-host 😻
Perla thanks so much and welcome! ❤️❤️❤️
