So happy I’ve found some of your earlier videos that I’ve not seen. Yay! New (to me) Pam to binge watch! 😆
Hi Pam. Very nice soft cover. TFS ❤ I use 3mm fun foam to sew between the two pieces of fabric to give the cover extra structure and I sew a 3inch (more or less) strip of cardstock to the fun foam to give the spine a bit of extra strength. 😊
I like the way you show how you self-correct and just keep going.
LOL, lots of self correction over here ;) Thanks :)
Я влюбилась в ваш канал, сохраняю все видео подряд, вы такая молодец, класссс🎉🧙🌺🌺🌺
Just found this one and wow! Pam you are measuring here! How you have grown! Lol! Love this one! And I have the perfect fabric for it!
What a cool Cover idea! Really like this! ❤
Love your videos!!
Always, always push away from yourself when cutting with a rotary cutter and close it when done. The blade is very sharp!
Thank you for this tip! I need to do better with this :)
Lovely project, Pam! Thank you! If you have any trouble punching fabric in any project, place paper on top and below the fabric and it cuts clean. I learned that trick from a friend and it's saved me many frustrations. :)
That's a super trick! Thanks for this! I learn so much from you guys! :0)
Yesterday I had to run into Walmart so I grabbed a pack of multi colored 12x18 felt sheets to make a squishy journal. I've made fabric journals before, just never used felt in them.
Luckily I grabbed a 12pk of felt because My youngest son and I will be making us each one now as we found out yesterday evening that our schools will be closed till April 10th!
He loves doing art at school. He has been in "G.T" (Gifted & Talented) classes and is also taking Pre-AP Math plus they started Latin and mythology in 2nd grade. Yup I'm totally not smarter than a 5th grader lol!
The school district will have online/virtual classes during this long break but only the basics unfortunately. We decided that making an Art/junk/writing journal during this crazy time will be the best way for him to continue enjoying art + have a place to write his feelings on what is going on in his perspective.
I'm telling you this because he is a very textile person which makes this the perfect project at the perfect time. Thank you so much for this video, and all the videos, giveaways, podcasts, & everything else you do!
This is may favorite post ever! :) Thanks for sharing this! :) Hi to you and your boy! :)
Absolutely Love.. I love to recycle fabrics from clothes, linens, old T shirts and so on. This would be a great addition to the many other ideas and crafts. Maybe make a matching journal to a blue jean denim bag. The creative juices are flowing.
You make me want to run back in and make another one right now! :)
I just found you today and oh my word, as a writer you’re everything!! I just got a new journal last night but have a bunch of old ones I’ve been wondering how to reinvent. LOVE all of your ideas, thank you so much for sharing!! You’re hysterical by the way haha, I’m binge watching.
Hi FineSignsAndSpirits! Welcome to the family! I am so excited for you on your new journey into junk journals! It's a very friendly community! Come on down the rabbit hole with the rest of us and have some fun! :)Thanks for watching! :) Pam :) !!
Thank you so much for this video and all your ideas instead of a food junkie I’m a Pam junkie lol
LOL, I am always so happy you are here! :)
Wow what a lovely idea Pam for a nice journal cover! Love it your such a great teacher with such good guidance tfs hugs from London Pam x
Hi K D!, Happy to share! :) Thanks for spending time with me! Pam :) !!
Keep doing you because you are amazing! Thank you for the fabric cover video.🤗
Hi Nicole Kerstiens! Big time blushing here! Thanks so much for your kind words! :) Pam :) !!
Pam I made one watching you ! I love your pattern ,it’s very pretty… you are amazing for me to be able to make one … it’s your instructions that made it possible! ❤️
Hi from PA! You r the greatest at explaining how tools work. I was intimidated with the crocodile till I watched you explain how it works. Putting it on my wish list. You r the best Pam! Hugs
Thank you so much for showing how to use the Cropodile! I found one in a thrift shop and need to learn how to use it!
You found gold in that there thrift shop Connie! :) Happy to help :)
You could always back your felt with a medium to heavy interfacing to give it a bit more structure. You just iron it on the felt.
Hi The Crafty Realtor! Fantastic idea! I love it!!! Thanks so much for sharing! :) Pam :) !!
Can you please explain what a medium to heavy interfacing is? I'm trying this today.
Pam, I'm just seeing this~So Thankful to You for Another Great Tutorial! Love your idea with the felt and Beautiful Cover Creation!
For soft journals, and to quell my repurposing nature, I repurpose a Padded Mailer. It gives it a nice padded feel and gives another use for.
I cover in fabric, don't sew it...and basically cheat my way through the entire process happily creating! Haha! :)
I love the fabric journals💕! I’ve never used felt inside- it looks perfect. Squish factor😊💕. Someone mentioned denim. I just saved out a pair of winter jeans - fleece lined. They have a broken zipper I don’t know how to fix. So time to make a journal or 2😊! Thank you for the tutorial and wonderful ideas! Take care and stay safe 💗🤗!
Denim will be perfect! :)
Fantastic covers. I was thinking that If you want a little bit more structure, you could use fusible web or pellon on the inside. I'm seamstress. My mom taught me to sew when I was in the 4th grade. She started me out in clothes for my dolls then gradually stepped up the precondition I could make my own clothes. Once I reconstructed a wool dress and sewed it tottally by hand. It was beautiful and everyone loved it.
When you have your cover fabric. Still folded just slide purchases into the fold and cut it in half making sure you hold the fabric right to keep your cut exactly in half. No unfolding the fabric and marking it with a pen ECT works for me every time.
Straight pins hold your fabrics together and you don't havec to worry about wheather the glue smooches hold it where you need it. The felt won't mistreat or move on you either.
I keep returning to this video while I build courage to try making this journal! You make it look easy. One tip- I have a rotary cutter with a pinking blade and I love using it instead of pinking shears. If you haven’t tried it, this Really saves an arthritic hand and is well worth the investment! Thx for explaining the crocodile too!
Hi Denise Kennemer! Wonderful tip! Thanks for sharing it with us! :)
PAM ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO, I HAVE TONS OF WALLPAPER GIFTED ME, A SPRITZ WITH WATER AND GLYCERINE MAKES THEM FEEL LIKE LEATHER. WISH I COULD SHARE SOMEHOW.
IM NOT A SEWER, FABRIC OUT, LOVE LACE TIE-IN AND PEN POCKET, JUST WONDERFUL ALTERNATIVES. EASY, SIMPLE, FUN.
💜 AND GOOD HEALTH CAMILLE AUSTRALIA
How cool is that! I must try this! I have some wallpaper around here somewhere :)
I love doing the glycerin water on brown paper bags. It does looks like leather and they always feel great. Most videos they use distress inks but I found that to be a huge mess so I used brown and blk shoe polish.
Thanks for the idea on using wallpaper!
Camille Fulton, I made myself a TN and used foiled card stock and backed with fabric. Went I used modpodge on the back do the card stock to adhere the fabric, it caused the foil card stock to take on the feel of leather as well. It was a pretty cool effect.
Hi Camille, can I buy some wallpaper from you? It is so expensive!
Really pretty books love them
This is a great idea. Can I say that you should never use the rotary cutter going to you. Always away from you I use to work in a quilt store so I have lots of fabric. Love this
Wow. Thanks for the tip about the rotary trimmer.
You are right, I really need to remember this! :)
Cut safely everyone! :)
carol hodges, a few years ago I was in goodwill and while in line, the woman behind me struck up a conversation we me, she told me she had a garage full of fabric that she had collected over the years and could no longer sew due to health reasons. She asked me if I would like to have it. I could not say no to that offer. She lived fairly close to me and when I got to her house, she really had a garage FULL of fabric! It took me 5 carloads to get most of it home and I had to go back 2 more times with my husbands truck to get it all. It was such an amazing gift! I feel like I had just been given a fabric store. Lol.
@@Jana-TheCraftyGambler Hi Crafty, i am like that old lady but "not your old lady"...lol Someday whatever supplies I am unable to have converted to art of some sort, I will gift to good people who need them and are needing to create. So happy you are here now. Make some beautiful covers and embellishments with some of that fabric. I hope you will find the joy and creative niche that fits you. I watched soooo many very informative videos before seeing the "one" by Pam. She laughed at herself from a place of levity and joy one only gets from a true love of an art and she was..."creating with reckless abandon". I was hooked and in a short time was exchanging ideas and compliments with other kind and creative people, learning a plethora of information, ideas and getting encouragememt to continue and i fell in love with the process. Pam is one of the people who seems to have a truly emotional connection with her art. So have fun and hope to hear from you again.
Oh my word! You come up with the best ideas! I’m going to re appropriate a cushion cover! Thank you!
So glad you like this idea! :) Supplies are everywhere!
Fantastic tutorial! I love your glue smuches! Lol. Thank you for sharing Pam ! Be well and safe my friend in these trying times . Xx 💞💞
Thanks so much 😊 Be well my crafty sister! :)
Gorgeous fabric, Pam. Love it💖
I started on the 2nd video, then came here.... Heading back to the other now
💗😄👍
LOL :) Have fun! :)
Great tutorial, Pam! TFS the inspiration!
Thanks so much!
I really want you to know I appreciate you 😊
Ooooh i like this x
Hi Pam, I absolutely love your videos!!! I always say dah 5 minutes in as you enlighten me of something I've been over thinking for years in journal making. For example when counting my pages, I'd count 25 pages, 25x2=50×2=100. You simply said 25x4, 100 pages. Dah!!! Thanks again!!! Hi Holly!🤗💖
Lovely as usual. Squish factor is important!
So true! :)
Thank you. You have SO MANY ideas!!
Hi Robin Here! I have a ton of ideas coming your way soon! Thanks for watching! :) Pam :) !!
Lol you are funny! This is great! Who knew it would be that easy! Not me! I'm scared to use the sewing machine!🤪😜
3 youtube videos later with that sewing machine and you will be a pro! :)
Lol. Half my problem is my machine doesn't have a permanent set up. I have to get it out of the spare bedroom wardrobe and then pack it all up. It a real killjoy!
Love your videos, they are always entertaining and informative! For the rotary cutter, you will have more control and it will cut better if you push away from you rather than pull toward you. Hope this is helpful!
Thanks Susan! :) Thats helpful! :)
YOU DO AMAZING WORK PAM-SUCH A LOVELY COVER-I LOVE YOUR KITS-I BOUGHT A BIRD ONE-WAITING ON MY INK-LOL-TFS-HUGS/BLESSINGS
Have fun! Thank you so much Karen! :)
FYI: The "FABRIC" people told me to start the cut, at the edge closest to me and always cut away from me "and my major arterial anatomy" because of safety and because it allows much better control and constant pressure.
Thanks for this tip! Much appreciated! :)
Pam, I think you are psychic. I was just thinking that I needed to look for a video that showed how to make a fabric cover, and poof, there it was. I don't have large pieces of felt, but I do have an old quilted mattress cover. I'm going to give this a try!
Hi Rhonda Calderone! That's awesome! Pam :) !!
I’m getting anxiety watching this cause it’s scaring me lol you show everything so well.
Hello Pam, guess what? I watched the second part before this one but it doesn't matter as you explain everything so well in your own special language lol. Think I'd like to make one with a leather cover (my husband was an upholsterer before he retired) as it will make a great squishy but long lasting book - no fraying!! x
LOL, it happens :) That one is going to feel so good in the hand! :) I have contemplated buying old leather coats and cutting them up to do this! You have re-inspired me! :) Have fun! :) Please keep me posted don how it goes!
Oh my goodness.. you keep making videos about exactly what I'm looking for... ha! The Paper Outpost is the best. :D Stay safe out there fellow crafters
Hi Gökotta! Thanks! Big air smooches to you! :) Yes, stay safe and healthy! :) Pam :) !!
I like that, you know I'll have to make one, don't cha? I'm getting ready to do a video for group on the revealing of my little "Pixie" J.J. she's 2 & 3/4" × 3 & 3/4" mini. She's so cute.. I'm so excited to share her💕
Yippee! :) Woot! Woot! :)
Thank you for the "crop-a-dile" tutorial. I bought one and it seemed formidable! 😁
Happy to help...it intimidated the heck out of me when I first got it but slowly realized that this monster of a beast could become my best friend :)
Hi pamaroo, it been slightly hectic here with horrid virus, n I'm behind in your vids , I think this is your last one you did if not let me know please, this one is so much easier than others.im making it hard for my self, I'm not inking at all so I'm washi taping everywhere you would ink, pluses extra areas so I think that why iv still not finish 1st signature, n still waiting on del iuveries n my son to do more orders , hope you well, love to you xxx
Hi Alanna! No worries, Relax and pace yourself. These are crazy times and we all have a lot on our plates right now. Be kind to yourself and kniw that my videos wait for you and are on your schedule :) No rush :) Just enjoy as you have time :) Happy to hear you like this easy technique! There is only 1 more video out. Here it is :) czcams.com/video/IRGmOVt2Sjc/video.html
How would you make it if you don't sew?
Always use rotary cutter away from yourself
Thanks for the reminder! :)
Can you use plain fabric or does it have to be something heavy duty like apholstry fabric?
Great news! You can use almost all kinds of fabric! You can use cotton.s muslin, quilting fabric, linens clothes, bedding ( laundered of course!) You can layer the fabrics! There are endless possibilities!! :)
I mark linea with chalk on fabric
Thanks for that tip Susan! I always appreciate sewing tips! I am a total novice!
I'm in your world lol xxx crafty sis
Yes , yes you are Alanna! And I like that! :)
@@ThePaperOutpost I love it more right back at you, having watch 2nd part yet, lost my mojo a bit, worry the virus, I want you n all your family to please stay safe n healthy as.ah just a ? What kind of paper n size can I coffee n tea dye , iv never done it, my son going to help me, I watch a short 5 min vid on how too so the oven it is.do I buy papers as I dont have any on hand except left over fish n chip papers, what size do I cut down to please , I'm sorry if I'm asking stupid pesty ?S how do you get the lackey n patterned look.i do sooo appreciate your answers n replays, hadn't sent photos yet as haven't had hair cut got a tad low but I will n some of the journal I'm making.xxxx alanna
Hmmm me thinks that pin had a double life as a glue bottle stopper 😆
LOL, me thinks you are right;)
I would tie the bow on the outside of the cover verses inside....seems to cumbersome inside
That's an excellent point! I always learn so much from you guys! :)
what happens if you dont have a sewing machine? does it still work?
You could glue 3 pieces of fabric together. it would still work. I might switch out the felt to maybe a denim in the middle, you will get better adherence :) I will show you another way to do this without a sewing machine with a different technique but its better demonstrated on video. Stay tuned!
thank you
❤️
Thanks dear Trish! :)
How do you make a fabric journal if you don't know how to sew?
Did you know your ruler is one inch wide? Also please use a thick quilting ruler with the rotary cutter, your fingers are so close to that very sharp blade and the cutter can jump up onto the ruler and your fingers so easily. Another safety feature is to cut away from your body with the rotary cutter.
Thanks for all the tips! :)
Great video Pam! TFS❣️🐇💚🌻💜🐞💛🕉️💙🦋🐌 #SheInspiresMe
Thanks so much
