… the next swap!
The idea is to make an A5/A6 sized diary/journal or notebook. Rather the cover of it and include the diary etc inside.
There are all sorts of mediums for this- this is my diary to help keep my various sewing projects organised and in some sort of order (would help if I used it properly!) This one has a cross-stiched cover and is from the talented Dawn. (See her shop here.)
The possibilities are endless you can scrapbook, sew, knit and more!
But to get you started..
Notebook Folder tutorial from Riley Blake Designs and a Journal Cover tutorial from Bloom and Blossom.
Rules: Sorry but there is a need!
Medium: As long as you make it yourself it can be in any medium either sewn with fabrics, patchwork, knitted, crocheted, crossstitched, felted, scrapbooked….
Entrants: UK only! I think it’s best due to posting restrictions/costs
