Stitch Journal from an old book

IMPORTANT I am so sorry for the low volume on this video, it was recorded before I bought a new microphone. Please turn your sound up if you would like to hear me. 🥰

This is a little stitch journal I made from an old book to fill with slow stitch pieces. I'll show it again when it's stuffed to bursting with stitched cloth.

Tip me if you would like to support my work

I can only imagine your Aunt Lily being so impressed with your Lily journal. So many details aka memories. Clearly she a tremendous impact on your life and in an amazing away in my opinion. XO

An exquisite journal, Kathryn. "Not much escapes eco-print in this house!" 😂

It turned out beautifully! I look forward to seeing your stiched meditative pieces in it too.

my mom would have been so impressed and inspired by you!

[janescott]

Beautiful! I would love to see it again with your stitched pieces in place. Thank you

Ha! I aim and strive and strongly on purpose make alligator mouths! The more mouth the more better!

Your eco dying is so elegant, the nicest I’ve seen.

I love a sketchbook with an alligator mouth. Just found you and loving what you are doing.

[jayneelinor]

Lovely book! Combines some of the things I love, stitching, eco dying and book making.

Alligator mouth 😅😅. You learn something new every day. I have several with alligator mouths, fab!! ❤

Thank you for this video! I came across your channel as a random suggestion in YouTube (I'm looking for ways and ideas in crafting without the fancy-schmancy tools) and just these handful of videos, at the time of writing, have already given me many ah-ha! moments for bunches of ideas I couldn't bring together. I really enjoy the casualness and simplicity. You seem like a cool lady I'd love to have as a teacher. 😁

This particular video hit home for me. As an artist lost in the crazy flows of life I've been stuck in my head and realised I should journal and "meditate" somehow. Nothing stays with me or sticks. I hate the forced writing even if its isn't supposed to be. Even sketching nothing really comes.
This idea of a stitch journal and being able to recall memories through touch, smell, just looking at collections of insignificant things makes so much sense to me! Thanks again! Now ill be off scouring the environment for a long lost book ❤

Oooh I like it when the alligator mouth happens too 😀

[debbiesavage]

I like the alligator mouth, too.
Lovely book.❤

[SunshineDawn]

I love this so much! Thank you for sharing 🥰Looking forward to watching more of you and your lovely hand made items ❤❤

[MicheleKamprath]

I love the journal and the idea of a removable wrap to enclose the journal in.

[theresasuttle]

I love this journal you’ve made and if I ever get my art room unpacked (one year of renovation in ‘new’ home, one more year of just surviving the move and some ‘life’ that happens to us all) Maybe this year!!

Hi k3n. Youtube made me discover your channel a few days ago. I first saw your interesting video on making the Japanese Rice Bag. And then (of course) I saw some more, on hand made journals, slow stitching, and so on ... I like doing such things too (all kinds of hand crafts and painting, etc.). So I subscribed and will start following you (also your Instagram).
You already inspired me to start tea-dying some fabric, from which I want to make such a Japanese type of (project) bag. I think I'll decorate it with some 'slow stitching' too. And maybe once I'll make a kind of book to put my vintage textile things in (now they fill a plastic box). But of course I'm 'busy' with some knitting, crochet and sewing projects now ...

gorgeous!
now I want to eco-print, I need more
🤣

I absolutely Love everything you create Katherine!!! Will you be showing us a tiny bit of how to eco dye, just a simple way to give us a mini “how to “? I will keep visiting your channel here and search all you’ve already posted to see if I’ve missed anything about it.
