@sonialynnstation9905 4 года назад

Wow! Watching this has been an adventure! How do you keep all of your supplies at your finger tips! You have so so so much! ❤️❤️❤️

@jatzygirl3120 Год назад

Morning Gayle. I'm really happy to see you make this cover. It's spine is so wide. Lots of filling up the signatures.

@jkelley431 3 года назад

I love watching your process!!! Thank you!

@sunnysmilesstudio4115 3 года назад

I love, love, LOVE this cover, Gayle! What great creativity you put into it!

@juneribbons5196 4 года назад

I love the paper choice for this journal. It does match the little book. Maybe little tiny screws in place of the brads would have worked.

@quiltingjen 6 лет назад

Oh Gayle I just love your chattering whilst working. I am so glad I am not the only one who does that whilst working away. Love your videos.

Gayle, I always always enjoy your videos! Thanks for taking us alone on the journey! Blessings, Mary

What type of sewing machine needle do you use for sewing on the cover, please?

Ready to start making this. Thank you, Gayle

@MissDaisyParsley 6 лет назад

So beautiful! I am thinking of getting my Christmas journal started as well before it gets too busy!

@juliechambers849 5 лет назад

just a tip, put a baby wipe on top of your Inkagold, it keeps it moist, hope this helps

@mrscrystalbuck 5 лет назад

It started out very nice. Then u put the doilie on there and that name plate. If u want to use the name plate u should try the spine. I may edit this after u have it completed. Lol

@tfntexas 6 лет назад

What a great beginning...glad you’re doing a series on this beautiful journal!

@bertieboatright1206 6 лет назад

I have an old belt with a great buckle it would look good on the spine .

@marlenejones6266 4 года назад

What a great idea...hmmm makes me think of other ways to use things like buckles etc. Thanks so much

Where are you, Lori? ❤️ Montana too!

@kathylambert-uz1vs Месяц назад

This is a beautiful memory book!! What kind of sewing machine do you have? It's amazing. Thanks again ❤❤❤

@gayleagostinelli_ct Месяц назад

I have a Singer Stylist sewing machine. ❤

@tanjarains3394 6 лет назад

Gayle, does Fabri-Tac hold up to metal as well as E-6000? I’m new to using it. I really love this cover; I especially love the dimension on the front. Looking forward to the rest of the series!

@gayleagostinelli_ct 6 лет назад

Tanja, we will see! I’ll check it out before sending it to my customer. E6000 really does hold better than anything else. ❤️

@judyoger 6 лет назад

You know burlap ribbon was all the rage a couple of years ago. For a man that might be great with this wonderful creation. And twine. I love Montana. Lo Lo and Butte and Missoula, truly gods country. What kind of sewing machine do you use?

@gayleagostinelli_ct 6 лет назад

Judy Oger my sewing machine is a Singer Patchwork. ❤️

@kandyhernandez-quijano1067 6 лет назад

Ohhh a Christmas journal. Inhave been waiting all day for one of your tutorials. Haha!!! Your brighten my day!

@crochetingmemorieswithcj6408 6 лет назад

Another great episode. Just an idea that you could put a coffee cup on your desk so you can put your glue in it upside down.

@gayleagostinelli_ct 6 лет назад

CJ, yes! I actually do that with my Aileens glue. The FabriTac is tricky because if it's upside down, it flows out too fast. Actually really good to lay it on its side, but I never remember to do that! Thanks for watching, my friend! Hugs! ❤️

@jetwasik1648 6 лет назад

Hi Gayle. It’s was an awesome video. What size needle do you use when sewing this type of cover? The cover is beautiful!

@gayleagostinelli_ct 6 лет назад

Jet Wasik I use a needle for heavier fabrics, not sure the size. ❤️

@susanriis8984 6 лет назад

Great video! I learned a lot. Now I am on to Part 2. 😎

@AFREEME22 6 лет назад

Could you do a video to show how you prepare the Fabric paper to make book covers?

@gayleagostinelli_ct 6 лет назад

AFREEME I already have one, darlin'! There's a tutorial on my channel on making fabric paper. I'm not sure of the exact name, but if you search my channel for tutorial-fabric paper, you should find it. ❤️

@tuthillg 6 лет назад

Ho, ho, ho! We're getting in the Christmas spirit now! You are inspiring me to get busy on a Christmas journal. Loving that you are doing a series. I just finished one with Carol Tinson (SewCarol) and just have the cover to finish up on my 1930s journal. TFS, Gayle!

@beachngypsy746 5 лет назад

what type and size needle do you use in your sewing machine to make the cover? Is it the same for when you sew onto paper?

@gayleagostinelli_ct 5 лет назад

I use a #16 needle. Yes I go from paper to fabric and back again! ❤️

@gloriabarletta2491 6 лет назад

@efi235 6 лет назад

Gayle you are so sweet!:) I love watching your vids and tuts. I am so lucky that I find you (and Artymaze). It's not only the amazing quality of the work you do but also your attitude and the whole experience you give us when you build a project. You are the best. Thank you for sharing:) keep up the good work. Cheers.

@mspaula0509 5 лет назад

So that "Fabric-Fix" works on all types of materials? Good to know.

@gayleagostinelli_ct 5 лет назад

Paula A FabriTac or Fabrifix (seems like the same stuff to me!) is great! Definitely my go to glue! ❤️

@2ndChanceCrafting 6 лет назад

I started my 6 Christmas LGB Journals this week also, I will craft along with you. Cheese its ha? Now I am hungry! (BTW-everytime I rip material it goes crooked! Is their a trick to it?) :) O! I did 6 spines with glue today. Like I needed a metal scrub brush to get it off!! lol I just placed my first order with Tattered Dream, looking forward to my order.

@gayleagostinelli_ct 6 лет назад

Hi Robin! The only trick to tearing straight is the first little cut...it needs to be straight, then the tear will follow the weave of the thread. So excited for you to get your ATD order! You're going to have so much fun playing with your stuff! ❤️

@2ndChanceCrafting 6 лет назад

I see! I was just cutting it anyway which way and ripping. Makes sense. Thanks!

@sylviasmith5443 5 лет назад

What kind of brown paper mat is that you’re using on you work surface? I see a lot of crafters use it, but no one ever comments on it.

@gayleagostinelli_ct 5 лет назад

Sylvia, it’s a Ranger brand (Tim Holtz’s brand) Craft Mat. I got mine at Joanns. ❤️

@jeannecorsby-hale1009 5 лет назад

What kind of needle do you use on that thick of board and stitch length. This is so much fun!! Thank you!

@gayleagostinelli_ct 5 лет назад

Jeanne Corsby-Hale I use a #16 needle. It sews with no problem!! ❤️

@TheHippieGypsy 6 лет назад

@pamelal210 6 лет назад

Hi Gayle! I'm re-watching this series as I'm going to be creating a journal and will be following along with yours. Really enjoyed this -thank you! My question is: Do you usually decorate/embellish your front cover at the beginning (after covering it with the fabric or paper)? I'm always worried that I will do something to ruin it (spill something on it or get it caught on something and the embellishments rip or fall off, etc), or that too much handling throughout the creation and assembly of the rest of the journal will make it look too "worn". I'm not talking about MAKING the cover - more about embellishing and decorating it. What's your preference - and why? Thanks! ~Pam

@gayleagostinelli_ct 6 лет назад

Boy, this a hard one! I do the cover at different times depending on when the inspiration strikes me. Sometimes I just don’t know what I want to put on it until I’m well into making the journal, but sometimes I make and decorate the cover first. I know that is so wishy washy, but hope it gives you some creative freedom to just do what feels right with a particular journal. ❤️

@pamelal210 6 лет назад

Thanks, Gayle. Right now, I really DON'T know how I want to decorate it - but now I'm not worried about it anymore. :-D That's great advice and it really resonated with me - because although I have a general idea and theme in mind, I've never been one to plan out every single detail, placement, flower, tag, etc. I've made lots of mini albums, but this will be my first journal and I'm a wee bit nervous about it. Anyway, thanks - and if you guys ever get out to Vegas during your travels we could have lunch. 😊

@jenniferrichards-craftings9341 6 лет назад

Oh my gosh this is do beautiful! I love the Blue Fern paper you chose...perfection! Can't wait for your next epidode! TFS

@genamomma 6 лет назад

Very nice Gayle! I'm loving the book plate positioned there. I have to tell you that I messed up on a cover I was working on yesterday, and I'm out of the colored cardstock I need for it, so I am so glad that I saw this video, because you inspired me to use fabric instead! Thank you for sharing and I'm excited to watch the rest of your series. 💖👍

@roseanndeighan5872 6 лет назад

Great series of JJ 😍

@sandy_521lakestreet 6 лет назад

Do you use a special needle in your machine to go through the cardboard and cloth? Sandy

@gayleagostinelli_ct 6 лет назад

Nope, Sandy, just a normal needle. My sewing machine is a trooper!! I put it through so much! 😁❤️

@gailstubbings8606 6 лет назад

Gayle can't wait for this Christmas series enjoyed so much learning about the front cover huni i am excited for the next stage xxx

@jessjtadesigns 6 лет назад

Goodie!! This will help me, and I'm making one along with you, Gayle!🙏💖👏 thank you so much!

@fabriclaceinkpapermicheles8251 6 лет назад

I love the way you stop and think things through before just rushing into just gluing things down! Lol - nothing like the way I do it! I'm looking forward to crafting along with you while you work on this journal.

@jessicamason8733 6 лет назад

What kind of scissors are those you cut the box with? and where did you get them ?

@gayleagostinelli_ct 6 лет назад

Jessica, they are Fiskars heavy duty scissors that I purchased from Joanns. ❤️

@debragrady9565 6 лет назад

Gayle, your work is beautiful! I really enjoy watching your videos and really appreciate all the detail you share with us. It’s so helpful to learn these techniques. I am especially interested in this Christmas journal process. I am attempting to pull together photos of the Christmases of my life so far (which will be a very large journal!). Thanks for all the great projects and techniques you provide. Feels like I’m sitting in your craft room with you 😊.

@milliemcgillivray9276 4 года назад

So beautiful. I love it!

@DebbyLong777 6 лет назад

I am getting so addicted to watching you. I have to tell you, browsing and learning more about JJ, I am comparing everyone’s work to your gorgeous work and your flair and details. ❤️

@sandy_521lakestreet 6 лет назад

SO excited, I just emptied half of my craft room so I could bring in all of my Christmas stuff for my DD! Cannot wait to craft with you! WHO_HOO! I am SO ready for the holidays!!!! Sandy

@sumayajc 6 лет назад

@mrsgigi8363 6 лет назад

This project is going to be really fun to follow. It’s always a bit harder with a journal for a man. TFS!!

@sarahanlon9768 6 лет назад

Hi Gayle - First I want to thank you for your awesome videos. When you showed the cereal box as the base for your book - I HAD to let you know that you are using an acid based product and it is NOT archival. It will not stand up to the test of time..... may save you money now but it will bring heartache later when it doesn't last by discoloring and rotting - thought you'd want to know.

@gayleagostinelli_ct 6 лет назад

Sara Hanlon thank you for the info. I don’t advertise my journals as archival. I make them to be enjoyed for as long as they can be...that depends on the user. If they are stored in the sun or they get wet, they are not going to last as long...the list goes on. I have journals from others made in this manner and they are just fine. I really do appreciate your concern, but honestly...it’s a Junk Journal. I’m more concerned with repurposing than it lasting for generations. Look at the book that I put on the cover...it’s a mess after two generations. I think if books of any kind are treated gently and with respect, they will last long enough to please their owner. Again, thanks for your thoughts and thanks for listening to mine. ❤️

@sarahanlon9768 6 лет назад

Gayle Agostinelli Everything you wrote is correct. Some artists don't think about archival. Keep on keeping on!😍

@kayhammock 6 лет назад

Hi Gayle. I've been bouncing back and forth watching the progress on your Christmas journal and it is so cool. I love how you Incorporated the book cover on to the cover of the journal. ☮️

@junebamburg1704 6 лет назад

Beautiful! You are so daring with your patterns and colors and they always look great. I am learning so much from your videos, now if I could stop watching long enough to do a project. Thank you for your teaching.

@TexJudy 6 лет назад

So happy to see another tutorial series. I've already watched this once, but just had to come back and watch again and then get caught up on this project. Thanks bunches!

@JamieLOVEUMOREJOURNALS 6 лет назад

Loving this.

@e.knight9526 6 лет назад

TFS!! Do you use a special needle on your sewing machine to sew the fabric to the cardboard? I'm afraid I would break mine.

@gayleagostinelli_ct 6 лет назад

Elizabeth, I used a number 16 needle. I use it for everything! 😄❤️

@e.knight9526 6 лет назад

Gayle Agostinelli Thanks Gayle!

@gilledmonds4201 6 лет назад

Glad to know that there are other people who have difficulty finding specific embellishment, particularly ones that were seen just a few days ago! Love the journal so far. Thanks for the tutorial.

@sharoncarroll8892 6 лет назад

You could also use some grosgrain ribbon for a man ; stripes or checks . ? Thin flannel ; just a narrow mini strip . You might consider getting a drimel drill for situations like the thick chip board .

@rosbarkla9741 6 лет назад

Hi Gayle-Love the cover. I am so looking forward to watching the journal all come together.

@lindyhawthorne2164 5 лет назад

Im up to part 6 and loving and learning every moment. I missed the name of the beautiful paper pad kit you used ??. I would love to try to f ind it in Australia for my first JJ.

@janetmiller7577 6 лет назад

Absolutely love this Gayle 😍Love Christmas journals. I'm looking forward to going along with you as you make this journal. Thank you so much for letting us share in your creativity process.😊🌸💕

@maiotm 6 лет назад

Gayle, what size sewing machine needle did you use for the fabric covered chip board? Thanks so much in advance!

@gayleagostinelli_ct 6 лет назад

Theresa, just my normal for heavier fabrics. Think it’s a size 16. 😁❤️

@maiotm 6 лет назад

Thanks Gayle! MUCH obliged for your quick response, AND for your wonderFUL videos! Learning tones from you !! ;-D

@charlenemays481 6 лет назад

I enjoyed this so much. I like your thoughts , talking it through I do the same thing lol. I'm working along with you on this. I got some great fabric at the senior citizens center the other day will be perfect for a Christmas journal. Thanks for doing this! ! : ) )

What size needle and stitch width do you use?

@gayleagostinelli_ct 6 лет назад

AmourFabriQues sheesh, Salena, I don’t even know. My needle is for heavier fabrics and the stitch is just whatever the factory setting is on my machine. 😬❤️. Hope all is well and your move is going well. 😘

@tracysmith1284 6 лет назад

Cheez it boxes work the best for all kinds of things but the instant spine is awesome for sure. I have made several jornals this way. Thank you for the tutorial 💞💐

@mkt39slp18 6 лет назад

I love that you are doing this. I am excited too. I watch all your videos. Thanks for so much insperation.

@lottiefaith6935 6 лет назад

It's so interesting watching you make a journal from scratch. That lace is the perfect touch on the inner spine, not feminine at all and the tea stain makes it lean more toward masculine. I love the way you incorporated the old cover of the book and the red gingham behind it brings out the red in the cover. I love the crocheted lace on the front coming to a point. The way you put the name plate on it almost looks like an old fashion ornament. : )

@debbieevans4813 4 года назад
