I like to see you sew. It's so calm .. When I sew is like the movie Fast and furious
Lol I'm with you there. I end up with the knots and bunches of thread everywhere and can never get my tension right. I think my sewing machine doesn't like me!
😆 🤣
Boy that material is all so pretty Gayle! I’ve loved watching you make these covers. The sound reminded me of my Gramma’s home. She was a prize quilted and won many, many first place ribbons at the old craft fairs in her town. I haven’t been a sewer but my hubby bought me a machine, so I’ll give it a go. It should bring some wild laughter from the both of us into our home 😂
The cover with the upholstery fabric and blue I was in love with. Yes I am binge watching some Gayle. 😍
Gayle, this is a great video. Thank you for giving us so much of your time. I’m a new journal maker and I’m finding myself binging all of your past videos. ❤❤❤
Yummy yummy yummy I got love in my tummy! Those fabrics are so scrumptious! Love these covers. My children always knew not to use the scissors that had the ribbon on them because those were mom’s fabric scissors. If you used those you might be grounded for life!
Gayle, I just want you to know what a wonderful person and your channel has meant to me, a lot. In this world we will have trouble, you and your channel are my go to when I need a friend. I have learned so very much from your shows. I have made my family all a journals with your help thank you.
How fun watching you make journal covers! So pretty! I especially love the quilted one! It reminds me of the depression quilts my Mom and Great Grandmother made tother from their old dresses and curtains during the depression. I cherish them so much! Love it sis! Great job!!! 🤗💖🤗
Thanks for sharing the making of your lovely journal covers. When I see you working away with your sewing machine and talking to it, I feel I should try to make friends with mine again. Thanks Gayle.🇨🇦
You can read minds. I was wondering if you stitched thru the envelope, and you told us you did. Thank you for this great tutorial.
Watching you Gayle is never like watching paint to dry. your vids are always so informative and I love watching your channel. You brighten up my day, hugs xxxx
Hi Gayle ... This video played.. and .. I love your nails.😉.... and this video is a keeper .. making covers is my least favourite thing.. ..you always make it look so easy... my favorite thing about making journals is the shopping... so I'll have "more to choose from " wish me luck for when I try this one out for the first time ! 💜
Hello Gayle!
Wow these are fabulous covers and yes I love mass making as well because once I drag stuff out I just want to keep going. I enjoyed watching your process and keeping talking to your sewing machine it does help. Lol! Take care!
Thank you for another AMAZING feature of my fabrics!! My sister Jennifer and I get all giddy when you share them or the stencils! It's such a treat to watch you create with them. I LOVE what you've been making, those covers rock! I hope the new year brings you much peace and comfort. You bring so much delight to the lives of others, you deserve only the best.
Thank you so much, Cathe! Wishing you and yours a Happy New Year! 🎉❤️. Big hugs to you and Jennifer!! Thanks so much for sharing your incredible talent with all of us! 🥰❤️
We moved a little over a year ago and I haven't been able to find my GOOD scissors. Well......I was going through a box the other day and low and behold---there was my good sewing scissors!!! So glad I found them.....
Those are going to be so pretty
So lovely Gayle! My current project is making sewing journals and using old quilts as covers. I have always collected them too, in fact when our daughter and son-in-law had their barn wedding several years ago, I had enough quilts to cover straw bales for seating! It was beautiful.🥰🧵🪡
Oh that sounds lovely! ❤️
I also understand how hard it is to not see your sweet little Bucky. We haven’t seen 2 of our grandchildren in over a year. :( Praying things will turn around this year.🙏❤️🇨🇦
Beautiful covers! Need to pull my fabric out. TYFS 👍❄️❄️❄️
You're a great teacher...one of the best in show-n-tell!! All these covers are beautiful...TFS!! 💖😊🤗
Ohhh Gayle... I could watch you craft all day lol!!! But it really doesn’t help my productivity!!! I LOVE the new covers you made and the ones you have planned and I cannot wait to see them transform into beautifully created journals!!! Thank you so much for always sharing your craft!!! Big hugs, Sharon 🌷💕
I LOVE the covers! You are so right to have a whole bunch of covers ready to go when the inspiration strikes.
The covers are beautiful. My favorite is the quilt cover. Such pretty colors. Thank you for sharing 🤗
Love the last one, that quilted cover is beautiful
I like how you did the cover Gayle, the envelope gives it some support which I like,
I’m gonna try that next time,
Right now I’m doing one with a soft spine,
Gee! Never enough hours in the day is there! 🤪
Thanks Gayle you always teach me something new every time I watch!
Hugs. Maggie. ❤️🤗🇨🇦❤️
I’m late to the party but Gayle - these are scrumptious covers. And I wanted to know how so here you are. You get such beautiful fabrics. I tried to get the Cathy Holden here in the U.K. but the price was prohibitive and there no selection. I will have another. Look though as they are gorgeous. And the upholstery fabric was beautiful. I love listening to you. Such joy, such fun. Much love from England 🥰
Wonderful! Excited about these!
Sooooo thankful that you have shared these covers with us 🥰
Love these journal covers. Tfs your process Gail. 💞🤗🇨🇦💕
I learned how how to make my envelope covers watching your videos. Thanks for sharing!😍🌴
These are beautiful. ❤️❤️❤️
Very pretty journal covers..... love the quilted one. Thanks for the tutorial, hugs from Texas 🤗
I’m glad Christmas is over. I’m liking the variety of videos. Happy new year Gayle
I just love this way of building your covers! So much easier than what I have been doing all this time hahaha! Thanks for sharing. You are such a beautiful soul.
Beautiful covers! Excited to see them all come together!
These are going to turn out so pretty 💕! Thank you for having us along with you💗🤗!
Hi Gayle! This is my second or third time watching this video, but I guess I never read the comments or commented before. Now I have learned to read the comments, and I comment myself also. This was a great tutorial on making this type of journal cover. You make it seem as if it is easy to do! I love your fabric covers, and the fabrics in this video are gorgeous! I look forward to seeing these covers become completed journals in the future! Thank you very much for making this video! When I make my first journal I will use one of your "Gayle's way" techniques for the fabric cover! TFS Hugs, Samantha
Absolutely Gorgeous. Love them all
These are so very beautiful...love old quilts too.
Hi Gayle, I know gone a long time here. Glad to get started up here again. You are my first stop today. :)
Welcome back, my friend! ❤️
I am such a tactile person... you just want to touch those yummy textures of fabric! I was in my happy place with you Gayle!
The colors in that quilt are wonderful!
What a marvelous video. I love and enjoy sewing. These are so gorgeous.
Incredible fabrics!
I love when you do these covers ❤️ Makes me want to try one someday soon 🥰
Loved watching your Journal video. Thank you for generously sharing your skills and ideas. Sarah (Australia)
Thank you for showing this. I'm a total newbie to stitching covers so seeing you break it down is so helpful.
Your eye for beautiful things are amazing. I can't wait to see you build this journal. Love & hugs -Michell
You did such a great job! I love the needle point like one. I know now how to make thick covers. Thank you!
This video is awesome, and just at the perfect time, my friend was just asking how to make fabric covers. Me too...great video for us both. Hugs 🤗
Beautiful covers, I start pulling fabrics tomorrow.

So glad you did this tutorial. I have been wanting to see a process to give me inspiration.
Gayle these are beautiful covers! Love them!
Beautiful covers! I talk to my sewing machine too & I named mine as well... Miss Calibash. Crazy woman, I know!
Lots of beautiful covers there Gayle. 🌷
I love the sound and feel ( I imagine) of those covers using the manilla envelope. Beautiful, Gayle! --Adria
Beautiful covers Gayle. Love the pink and teal quilt piece. This was a nice refresher video. Thanks for sharing.
The covers are stunning. It really doesn’t take too long to do the covers. I agree it is so much quicker to do multiples at one time🌺🌸💝
I L❤️VE making journal covers
Good morning. Love the covers. Thanks fir sharing. Have a blessed and wonderful day.
LOvely! I love antique quilts! I just got a new one for Christmas from an amazing friend of mine..I can't cut it up so it is going on my bed...so beautiful! xo tfs!
I need to get my fabrics out. Thanks for sharing!
Boy! Those covers are absolutely gorgeous! The first one with the pocket is stunning! I can hardly wait to see your creation process!🥰🥰👍
That material is beautiful and that journal is going to just turn out beautiful and I want to tell you you've got to get yourself some scissor sharpeners save you a lot of headaches anyway you have a good night thank you for letting us watch
Good morning my friend. Your timing is often perfect. I need to make a few covers and though I’ve seen this just,trouser times, having it come along at the right time is great! 🤗😁💕
Love all these covers, Gayle. The tapestry type fabric is just lovely. And I love old quilts, so just love the quilt made into a cover. Can't wait to see you use these! Hugs! Sue
Great information! Love, love the quilted cover! ❤️ As a quilter, I'm partial to the 20s-30s fabrics! TFS.
Such beautiful fabric
i can say without a doubt that this video has solved my fabric cover technique problems for good - yay yay yay yay ✨✨✨✨✨✨😁😊
Always enjoy watching your cover videos! Love how you just boldly cut into your fabrics 💜 I always am afraid I’ll make a mistake... Happy & Blessed New Year!
Was so glad to see your fabric cover process. It is basically how I do mine so this was good affirmation. I haven't tried the padding yet so I am excited to try that. Thanks for sharing!♥️
I love the quilted covers and now I have a use for the large piece of felt I have that I was given from my husband... I will just use it as batting in a cover under some cotton fabric I have. Galye, thank you for th inspiration and ideas. Have a wonderful day... I just wish we were not in lock down so I could go to the fabric store but I will have to make due with what I have on hand. :)
What beautiful covers! I had been looking at tutorials about fabric covers and this is by far the best one! Thank you so much Gayle!
Soooooooo Beautiful 🥰🐞❄️☃️🌨️
Gayle, another wonderful video. Enjoy your day. Hugs 🤗
Your friend Cindy from a small town in Northern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
❤️❤️❤️
GdA! I love making journal covers too!! Envelopes are my favorites but, I'm really starting to enjoy the readers digest books! Love watching you! Have a wonderful, safe, healthy and blessed week! Peace & Blessings!
I used to work in a quilt shop. So much fun!
Good tutorial. Learning a lot.
Love all your fabric covers you showed here!! The 2nd to last one is really quite nice....looks like a cross stitch piece!! The last one is my favorite though as it has most of the colors I love!! Can't wait to see these completed!! Great video Gayle!! TFS!! Hugs, Liz:)
I love these
Your a great inspiration. Thank you for this video to making covers
great video Gayle, I'm new and learned a lot from you.
Hi! I was holding my breath when you sewed through the two thicknesses 😁, so so pretty, that upholstery is gorgeous, so is the quilt one! More fabulous journals to come.... Have a nice day!
Happy new year,Gayle! Absolutely love these covers, what a great idea !
Happy New Year! 🎉❤️
Thanks for showing us 😊
All these covers turned out beautiful!! You've inspired me to go thru my quilt collection and see what I might be able to use. I too have collected quilts for too many years to count! 😂 When we moved I ordered a bunch of archival acid free boxes and acid free tissue paper to pack up my quilts. So funny, my daughter asked this weekend what I was going to do with them. She let me store them in her house and I think she wants her closet space back!! Thanks Gayle for showing how you make these covers. You always make it look so easy!! 💜
This a great idea, I just love it! I’ve made several journal covers with file folders, but it’s nice to have another option. The fabric is so cool, I’m going to check out the website. I talk to and encourage my machine too 😉 😊
Good morning Gayle ☃️❤️
Needed this thank you❤
Great tutorial Gayle! It's funny, I'm a quilter as well and always talk to my sewing machine! I think us quilters are like that! It's our "baby"!
I love your ideas and your journal are so beautiful
Thank you for this Gayle! Just in time as I will be attempting my first fabric cover and I was scared! You make it look easy and now I feel confident I can do it! I LOVE that Cathe Holden fabric! I have been scouring sites in Canada trying to find some now. Sold out on all the sites I have found so far...will just keeping on looking!
Good morning! Thanks for sharing! Blessings for the day sweet lady!💕
Morning Tanna! ❤️
Thank you Gayle
Good morning Gayle 🤗
I love that needlepoint fabric.
Morning Denise! 😘❤️
You make it so easy to follow your lead. TFS
Beautiful covers! I love the fabrics by Cathy Holden - such yummy eye candy.
❤️
Love the fabric, I would photo copy it and use the elements to decorate the inside ;-)
Have you thought about using a rotary cutter & a ruler to cut your fabric. You already have the right cutting mat. Cutting would be quicker & always straight. FYI. It is such beautiful fabric
Thank you for sharing!
