Besides being incredibly practical, your videos are extremely soothing. Often while watching tutorials I grow impatient and adjust the speed to "get on with it." I never do that with yours. I just love watching you create. I especially like your closure for this journal.

I LOVE this. I've also been spring cleaning lately and wondering how to be sustainable when disposing of the items i no longer use. I was literally telling my partner YESTERDAY: "dang, I wish I could turn these old tees into something..."
THANK you!

You clever girl! I love this project! At first I thought the design was embroidered. The stamping on the fabric turned out amazing. I love your minimalistic style. Simple, but gorgeous.

Thank you for sharing this tutorial! It’s what I’ve been looking for. Most tutorials I see about making my own TN cover always requires a purchase but with this process, I can use what I have right now. You also explained every step clearly that a beginner like me can feel confident of making this. I can’t wait to make my own 😊

I want to make a journal for a friend. I think I will use this technique. I have some nice green t-shirt material I can use.

As below, a truly relaxing video to watch. May I ask what kind of ink you used for the stamping? Thanks.

What is chipboard? Is it just cardboard? Is that why the cereal box would make a decent alternative? Thanks for sharing your upcycling idea :)

[Elliaa_]

any alternative for mod podge? I can't find any fabric adhesive that I can use, what about glue from a glue gun?
