Loved this so much ! Thanks for sharing. What a beautiful journal and tribute for your mom and the love she and your dad shared. A beautiful journal. You are a very special daughter to make such a beautiful journal for your mom❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for your kind words, Julie! So happy you enjoyed this. I’m blessed to have such loving and special mom and dad. Thanks for watching! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🤗
I was gifted a trunk full of upholstery sample books. I can’t wait to try this with all my new fabrics. I bet the sheers will make beautiful flaps. Thx for the inspiration 🙏
Oh that is awesome...what a great gift. I have a few of those and they are so great. Your right the sheers would make fabulous flaps. I hope you have a wonderful time! Thanks so much ❤️❤️
OMG You Did It!!! I am SO happy right now! 4 months ago when you posted a video of your walk through of your gorgeous fabric Tim Holtz Abandoned journal me along with MANY of your subscribers had requested for you to show us how you made it! You said you would and I even went and bought his fabric and it was finally delivered a couple weeks ago. Then I just now see you posted this video!!! I am literally doing a happy dance in my craft room right now! You are so talented and I will be happy if my attempt to follow this tutorial has my fabric journal turn out half as good as yours! *** Also your fabric journal for your mom is the most precious gift and I know she will cherish every page and photo in it! Loved it!!! THANK YOU SUZY!!!!!!!!

Suzy, This is wonderful! I loved watching your process to build the book! I love how everything is easily stitched together and how the windows are created with the pop of color behind! After watching this I feel like I could make one!! Thank you for all your inspiration and sharing your talent with us! xo
Hi Paula! I’m so happy you enjoyed this! I have no doubt you could make one and I know it would be absolutely stunning!!! Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement it means so much! xo ❤️😘
Suzy, what fun, beautiful books you've made. Really liked that blue and white, with the sweet photo of your parents! I love giving friends something hand made that you, yourself, are over the moon about!! Your mom will swoon! ;)
Hello Lynn, thank you so much! ❤️🤗 I’m partial to that one too... I agree, handmade gifts are the best especially the ones we are crazy about!!! I think you’re right...she will swoon 🥰 tomorrow I’m giving it to her 😉 have a wonderful weekend M 🌸
Suzy, you know I love your work so much, and it's such a joy, and a gift, to see you talk us through your method. The folders are so beautiful, squishy and lovely to hold. I've already started making one inspired by your wonderful projects. The Tim Holtz fabrics are absolutely gorgeous - so rich and almost look like velvet on screen. Thank you so much for sharing your technique. 😍 x
Hello Julijana! You always say the sweetest things and I appreciate that! ...love the squishy part 🥰 they really are! I’m so happy you enjoyed my tutorial and I can’t wait to see what you create. I know it will be FABULOUS, be sure to tag me 😉❤️ oh, and I agree, Tim’s fabrics are the best!
I love that this wonderful tutorial with Tim's fabrics popped up right after Tim's live on Sprays. I adore your little fabric books. I have been doing some paper mini books and really need to try these in fabric. I love anything TH. I also love the fancy stitches on my embroidery machine so I hope to marry the two. Hummmm I wonder if anyone is digitizing any of Tim's designs. I like your style and love your voice. Thank you for sharing your talents. Happy spring.
Thank you so much! So glad my video popped up. Wasn’t Tim’s live amazing?! Your idea of doing some embroidery stitching on Tim’s fabric is a great one. Have fun making! ❤️
I had no idea TH had fabrics! I recently purchased his plain cotton mini journal but never knew he had any other fabric items. Love what you’ve done here. Thank you very much!
Fat quarter shop has his fabrics and I ordered 1/2 yard each of many of my favorites because they have good shipping rates and prices. Hope it's ok to say that Suzy. They have the solids and the one she used for her last journal in stock.
Suzy I got so excited when I saw your video. What great project! I already have some of Tim’s fabric now I can make this. Thanks so much for sharing 😍🌴
Oh yay! I’m so happy you enjoyed it! I hope you have a wonderful time making and so awesome you can use your Tim fabric 🤩 thank you so much for your sweet comment and for watching! ❤️🌸

Thank you so much for taking the time to share a tutorial with us Suzy. I adore your little fabric journals. I am obsessed with everything by Tim Holtz and have a few of his beautiful fabrics, so I think I need to give it a go! I think your mom is going to love that pretty folio.

Oh Suzy.......l absolutely LOVE these 🧡.....such a cute idea......thankyou sooo much for sharing your amazing talent with us.......I'm always excited to see your name pop up 😁😄🤗🤗🤗....😘😘😘😘😘😘🤩
I enjoyed learning your method for this cover. I have some fabric that will be perfect. Thank you for sharing how you made yours. I’m thinking of using craft tex for the inside of the journal cover instead of batting. Do you thing that would work?
I’m so happy you enjoyed it and hope you have a fun time making. Absolutely you could use craft Tex...love that stuff. Because you can sew craft Tex I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. Of course it would be a little more like a flexible hard cover but would be totally awesome! What a fun idea! Thanks so much for watching and have fun making! ❤️
I just found your channel and i am so glad that i did!! Could you please tell me what kind of batting you are using? I am only familiar with the kind that comes in the big bag and is more like for stuffing pillows!
Hello and welcome! I buy my batting that comes on a bolt or roll . It measures maybe 1/4 inch thick. Joann’s carries a nice selection. It does come in bags too but I found it’s more economical by the yard. TFW! ❤️
This is so super cute!!! I can’t wait to play around and try making some! 🥰😍 TFS! One question, for the pouch it’s just 3 fabrics right? No batting?? Just want to make sure..
Thanks so much! ❤️😊 yes, pouch is three fabrics plus batting. The flap is three fabrics without batting. At least the way I do it...you can mix it up and do it however you want. It’s all about playing and having fun! ❤️
Cute.. what's the purpose of a book like this ? is there any purpose at all or is it just to make it?. Is it just the process really and then of course to have and love it but do they actually do anything with them?
Do you have a tutorial on how you would add journals to this fabric cover. When you say add journals do you mean add signatures? This is really fun I want to try it
You could certainly add signatures to the cover. I can’t remember what I said, lol, but I probably meant add a few small journals to the pockets 😉 I hope you have fun making one for yourself ♥️
Hello Suzy! I hope you are doing well. I was a bit concerned when I saw you haven't posted any new videos in several months. Just know I miss you and seeing your amazing talents on here! Best wishes! ~Michelle
Hello Michelle! What a lovely message. I am doing well, thank you so much for checking on me. I am more active on Instagram and I would love to see you there. And good news, I will have a video here very soon so stay tuned. Thanks again and take good care. ❤️ Suzy
