- A little tutorial showing how I would make a no sew journal from a vintage book. This is super easy and a great way for a beginner to start making journals. I'm sure there are many methods, this is just my approach to it.
In this video we prepare the pages and decorate the cover.
I have been using a journal like this for my Margarete Miller 5 prompt challenge.
My playlist for that challenge:

I loved the story about the lady sweeping her garden. I truely come for the stories. The crafting is just a bonus. 😂 😂 😂
Oh dear she’s too funny! Bet she wasn’t out today it’s really cold! Thank you so much 😊
Yes, great fun. And I get lots of ideas !
There will be no flapping about....lol that just makes me smile. I’m thankful for so many people still doing videos and making beautiful items.
Thank you so much!
Lovely, lovely, lovely Rachel. Both your work and you. Bonnies idea about tearing out the middle of the signatures has worked really well. Thank you for sharing your time with us, if we all stick together and be positive we’ll get through this. We can do it ladies, oh and gentleman if any are watching. 💕💕💕💕💕
Thank you so much!
I was drooling over your stack of stitching UFOs! I have similar stacks, but mine are all crazy bright colors. Yours are lovely. I was just stitching along with you for the entire hour. Thanks for keeping me company!
Oooh I’d love to see yours! Thank you so much 😊
Me too. Your stories keep me going. I’m poking along with a Margarete challenge at the moment but taking good note of this lovely book. Even dug out my little case of collected laces but I still have lacecutphobia. It’s a thing .
Thank you so much 😊
Waffle on Rachel...I truly enjoy spending time with you. I love hearing Lulu in the background and the life that children bring to a home. I am retired so just my husband and I and it can get really quiet around here. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent, family and stories. Say ‘Hi’ to Mrs. Sweeper from Canada 🤣😂. Hugs and blessings, 😊❤️
Hahaha 🤣 she needs to stay inside! Thank you so much 😊
And you are keeping us company as well. Thank you. You know we love your waffling.
Maybe the old lady is lonely but if she’s a grump no wonder she’s lonely.
I saw a younger person in the window upsatirs so I don't think she's alone probably just scared!
Your idea about retaining the little inside strip of each page you tear is a good one. I tried using a book and tore the pages all the way out and the book fell apart. I had weakened the structure of the binding. Your idea is genius. I hope you and yours stay safe in the midst of this pandemic.
Thank you so much!
Your videos are a bright spot in the day. Love the stories and hearing Lulu in the background. It’s like hanging out with friends. Tomorrow night, 4 of my girlfriends and I are doing a Zoom video chat, because we can’t get together. It’s a new way of living.
That's a great idea! Thank you so much!
Hi Rachel I love this idea. I'm working on a book with pockets driving me crazy with all the pockets. I like this idea better. Love the slow stich fabric on the cover. I want to do another book your style. Love it.
Thank you so much 😊
This video has made my day/night. Not only do I love watching and listening to you, dear, but Slow Stitching.... Yay!! I have just started and I love it. Prior to slow stitching I had only ever sewed on buttons.... Haha!! Never knew I would like doing it so much. ❤
It’s very relaxing! Thank you so much 😊
I’m on the other side of the world and you are definitely keeping me company. This is your charity work...to keep us all company. 😃 Each day I hope you have a video for me to watch. Thank you. Love your mum’s slow stitching, so beautiful.
I will do it with pleasure! Thank you so much 😊
Love the stories. It's nice to know that in this time the world seems United in trying the slow the virus that we can share stories and art safely.
Thank you so much 😊
When the news outside is so negative and a downer it is so refreshing being able to sit at my computer and watch your videos as your craft and tell stories, for these moments I get lost in your creating and forget the woes outside my door. Thank You Rachel for all you share. You are priceless and precious! Love the fabric piece your Mom made, I am a textile lady and like being able to use fabrics in journal making!
I hope you are well and safe! Thank you so much 😊
Ooo! I'm so excited to see you make a book that has pages ripped out! Yay! I love your (Jessie)collage book and I wasn't sure how to do it. So thank you! I adore your Mum's slow stitching too. How wonderful❣ And as always, I enjoy your stories. You always give me a smile or a laugh. We all need a bit of a giggle to get us thru these uncertain times. Thank you for being here Rachel. Many blessings...
I hope you are well, safe and crafting away! Thank you so much!
@@roxycreations679 Thank you Rachel! Doing fine, just stir crazy🤪 Continued health to you as well!
The hardware is very awesome. I have very very many of them, because I painted furniture before I found paper crafting so finally I now what to do with them. 👏👏😀👍
Perfect! Thank you so much 😊
So enjoyed this video, listening to you ,your stories and life in general is a delight. It’s great that you have such a special relationship with your mum. I was only 25 when she passed and I’m 62 now. I miss her terribly. Sending you much love from Melbourne ❤️
I am so sorry Rita! I can't imagine! Thank you so much!
I love seeing you think through the choices, so please waffle along! New subscriber but oh such a junk journal lover. Complete beginner but just did a challenge with some other journal makers to do a collage base swap. And learning how to watercolor and doodle! You inspired me to make my first altered book and will start it today! Thank you!
Thank you so much!
I love the slow stitching ....this journal is so pretty
Thank you so much 😊
I love listening to you process the creation aloud. It makes us feel more involved in the design...lol
Thank you so much 😊
Love to see the mix of your mom's work and yours,turned out beautiful!!! I'm a stitcher at heart.❤ Loved the story of the lady sweeping!!! You are sure keeping all of entertained, thank you Rachel!!!🌺🌼🌸🦋
Thank you so much 😊
It’s so pretty and your stitching is so neat. I was taught needlework by a nun, you would ave been her favourite unlike me whose fabric became such a mess because she made me keep unpicking it.
Oh dear, I wasn’t so good at school but improved with age😂! Thank you so much 😊
Beautiful cover Rachel. Love it. I agree about the lady in the garden. Fear can be a terrible thing and maybe she feels like if people are walking past her home they will spread the virus to her, hence the mask. May God bless her and give her courage in the face of this ordeal. God's blessings to you and yours as well.
I think your right. They have totally banned it now so we won't see her for a while! Thank you so much!
@@roxycreations679 Be well and stay safe.
I enjoy watching you because you are real. Having everything organized isn't real life. Ignore those that try to tell you how to do your crafting. If they don't like what they see they can turn you off.
Thank you so much!
Funny story about the lady. We used to call it giving someone the Stink eye! Lol!! Your Mom/Mum does beautiful slow stitching projects. 😊 I hope everyone stays well and safe. Sending long distance hugs from Jamestown, California
Thank you so much!
good one Rachel, love your Mum's slow stitching.
Thank you so much 😊
Hi Rachel, it's already looking beautiful. Your stitching is so straight too. I love hearing your stories, keep them coming it's keeping me sane I'm from the UK and things are getting pretty bad here. Thank you, Sending hugs. Xxx
Thank you so much 😊
Really enjoying watching and listening to you while you craft and wish I knew about your TH-cam channel while it was lockdown. I was so grateful that I have a craft room full of crafting goodies in that scary 3 months we weren't even aloud to went for walks the first 9 months. My crafting make it less stressful. Since then I keep my craft room full of stock. 🤗
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing the funny stories...we need some humor in these times!!! Your stitching is so neat!!!!
Thank you so much 😊
The story about the lady in the garden, hilarious. Gorgeous cover, Rachel.
Thank you so much 😊
I’m behind on watching your videos because I just discovered you about a month ago., I literally laughed out loud “hairy eye ball”. Omg I haven’t heard that expression in many many many years. I wish I would have been aware of you sooner, such great company you are and I love your stories. 🤣🤣🤣. Loving this series your doing.
Hahaha it's a funny one! Thank you so much!
Your mothers work is beautiful! Makes your journal extra special, you can write all about her and include some pics in this journal!
Thank you so much 😊
Such a lot of work! If the book has signatures, you can find the threads in the middle of each one and pull off the double page - removing as many as you want from the middle of each sig. Clear as mud, right? But that way there is no ripping and gluing until you are ready to decorate. Always enjoy your work and chats, Rachel.
Will have to try another one and do a better job with the pages. Thank you so much 😊
Just tried this method and it works extremely well. Thanks Bonnie, great suggestion. 👍🏻😁💐💕
22:12 “I don’t know why I’m doing this...”
That’s me every time I try crafting! 😁
Hahaha isn't that the truth!
I am so charmed by the little piece your mom made! It's so sweet!
Thank you so much 😊
"Crafting with Rachel"..... I love it!
Thank you so much 😊
I'm on another MOON... MOON RIVER WIDER THAN THE SEA... I THINK YOU ARE A DOLL RACHEL:) YOU KEEP US ALL GOING AND KEEP MY MIND "CALM"
Thank you so much!
Oh my goodness Rachel, love the fabric pieces you and your mom have made! They are so beautiful! I would have a hard time deciding too.
I really like the idea of your hands starting the journal and another pair finishing it....🙂
Thank you so much!
Rachel, I'm behind a day or so. We've been officially quarantined as well. I love the cover of this journal! It's just beautiful! I'm so glad that you're still at it! Keeps me motivated to make journals too. Love your waffling as well. You keep me smiling with your stories! Thanks for all you do! Love your family!! Stay healthy and keep creating! You inspire us all!!
I hope you are well and stay safe! You have a crafty time in quarantine! Thank you so much!
I look forward to your posts and say a little prayer every day for your health and the health of your family! We’ve heard such high numbers of those affected in Italy and the first thing I check is if you have a video so I know you are safe! Stay healthy!
Thank you so much!
The first time I saw this crafty irina was showing how to. Stay safe and keep sharing
Oh i must find her video! There’s always room for improvement! Thank you so much 😊
I to love to hear your stories and watch you slow stitch your videos are wonderful
Thank you so much!
Thank you for such inspiring ideas during the craziness outside. Glad you and your family are safe. Your compassion and understanding for the elderly sweeping woman was very insightful. Being alone and elderly must be additionally stressful. Thank you for the idea of using hardware on our projects.
Thank you so much 😊
RACHEL, pay no mind to the people who don't like it that you aren't organized, and or change your mind. You are an extremely talented and creative person, your finished projects are beautiful, and i think your adaptability is amazing. I do not need every minute filled with fascinating, speedy, well-thought out content. I enjoy watching you work and hearing you chat, interspersed with discussions with Lulu. I just spent an hour with my Australian friend, who is living in Italy with her Italian husband and young adult daughter. It has now been a year that we have been dealing with COVID-19, so I want to wish you, your family and friends good health, safety and continued good life. Alice in SC USA.
I can't believe what has happened in the last year! Who knew??? Thank you so much!
🧚♀️Hello Rachel, I’ve gone into your archives and found this wonderful tutorial for making a journal from an old book!
Loved the process and and seeing the beautiful cover piece from Juju that you used…. You have such a talented Mum who obviously taught you girls how to sew and gave you an appreciation for old fabrics etc when you were young. Tomorrow I’ll watch Part 2. Thank you so much for these wonderful tutorials!😘
Thank you so much 😊
Less is more on a larger scale, Rachel. Love it bunches, Carol.
Loved it all Rachel!!! Especially all your hardware!!! Brilliant idea, must look for some. Your explanation of slow stitching was spot on. Too many people are using the term for embroidery and things. Can’t wait to see the next step!!! Stay safe and well xxx
Yes it seems to incorporate everything but I don’t think that was it’s essence initially. Thank you so much 😊
So many projects to try and this is one of them! Yours is shaping up so beautifully.
It’s fun! Thank you so much 😊
I absolutely love this cover for your journal! It reminds of years gone by. Tyfs!
Thank you so much!
Such fun......I love our visits!
Thank you so much 😊
I would love to spend that day watching you! You inspire me!
Thank you so much 😊
I think any good craftsman checks options, trials compositions before gluing, stitching, etc., to get the best result.....so you are not waffling, you're analyzing and composing.
Thank you so much 😊
Gorgeous, your mom’s work is so beautiful. Rachel your stitches are so even and straight mine would be willie nillie. Thank you for this video. ❤️🦘🙏🏻
Thank you so much 😊
Lovely project😍 and hilarious story of the sweeping lady. Thank you Rachel. We need videos like this in times like this❣
Thank you so much 😊
LOVE THE METAL ORNATE DECOR FOR THE FRONT
Thank you so much 😊
Absolutely loved this video!!! Plus, you taught me a new way to tie a knot in my thread. Love your Mum's slow stitching and creativity. Love the hardware and just visiting with you.
Thank you so much 😊
Thanks for sharing your ideas from start to finish. Love it!
Thank you! 😊
I love your book. Such a great idea. I love watching you create and really enjoy your company. I know that for at least an hour a day i wont be worrying. Im too busy ejoying watching you. Your style and creativity are an inspiration. Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much 😊
So much fun watching this book develop ! I love what your Mom did. I've made many glue books...I like making them as much, if not better than journals.
I did enjoy this, I need to improve my page ripping😉! Thank you so much 😊
This is going to be another beautiful journal. I love hand stitching too. Did a lot when i was a young girl.
Thank you so much 😊
Love this video! It's always fun to watch your creative process but hearing Lulu laughing and carrying on with her friends was a bonus. We got our lock down orders today in Oregon. So very glad I have my craft supplies and you tube!
Stay safe and well! Thank you so much 😊
Thank you for this fun video. I so enjoy your crafting. I love your waffling!
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you for opening up my horizon... I'm so excited about this... I love slow stitching and so my creative juices are rampant. Marion

Thank you so much 😊
Love, love, love the cover and closure! Thank you.

I really love this book idea and I LOVE, LOVE the cover! I like how the hardware looks with the fabric! I enjoyed hearing about the Lady sweeping the garden and fussing at you two walking! Thanks for your wonderful ideas! I can't wait to see the next video and what else you do to the book. TFS - Hugs, Christal
Thank you so much!
Great tutorial. Love watching and listening to your great stories. Your mom does lovely work. This will be a fun journal to watch grow.
Thank you so much 😊
It is beautiful so far! Love it! :) Love all your unfinished & mom pieces too. So much talent in one family.
Thank you so much 😊
Rachel, I love this! The piece your mum made is just beautiful! It was so relaxing watching you stitch the tie! Love listening to your stories! Thanks for sharing! ❤️ ps love the hairy eyeball too!
Hahaha 🤣 we always said that when we were little! Thank you so much 😊
I like your new journal. Lovely cover! I too enjoy your local stories, you made me laugh about the sweeper lady, and about the fly mask. Enjoying your humor, and your craft, all the way from California. Tfs 💞
Thank you so much!
Love the stories! You are keeping your spirits up during this trying time and I am enjoying the jibber jabber. 😉 I could listen to you talk all day...just keep crafting and stop heckling the time. 🤣
Thank you so much!
Catching up on videos & this is beautiful, i like to hand stitch too. Looking forward to watching the rest thank you Rachel x
Thank you so much 😊
Such a beautiful project. I love 💗 the cover. Thank you for sharing. 🦋
Thank you so much 😊
Waffle on! It's okay! Lovely cover! TFS the inspiration!
Thank you so much 😊
I completely enjoy your videos. Helps to pass time. Love the journal. ❣️❣️
Thank you so much 😊
Love your comment “I’m very bad at planning “. That’s me. I love to organize and get all my bits together but it’s hard for me to sit down and go to work.
Hahaha, I struggle to even get bits together! I usually pull out a huge pile which then leads to confusion! Thank you so much!
TFS, love the slow stitching, I'm in lock down as of today, so excited to utilise my time and do some crafting. Grateful to see you and your family are doing well. 🙏😚
Happy crafting and stay safe! Thank you so much 😊
I so enjoy watching you work and listening to your stories. Your journal is coming along beautifully and your slow stitching is gorgeous! I can NOT sew by hand. I am horrible at it. But, watching you put such exact stitches in makes me want to try it again!
Thank you for this video. I am looking forward to the next one!
Take care!
Thank you so much 😊
I set up a Gina “ Rebookery” journal too. I did it in a fantastic book which I couldn’t tear pages out of and I still need to make a cover for it, yay. Love what you have done here. Thanks for bringing back more fabrics and stitching etc. Love it.🌹🥀🌝
I hope to do more sewing, just building up to it! Thank you so much 😊
Did you hear me when you trying to decide which piece to put on the cover . I was saying you had to use your moms because it is your moms and because it is gorgeous 😊. Thank you so much for sharing with us ! Please be safe 🙏🏻😊❤️
Must have heard you! Thank you so much!
Loving it Rachel! Thanks and take care.😘😘
Thank you so much 😊
You tell em sister. Who wants not to be able to change your mind?? Not me. I’m always changing my mind and I do get disorganized 😕 but hey that just proves I’m using my materials on various projects.
Great video. Absolutely love the cover. Your mom does beautiful work💝💝
Thank you so much 😊
THANK YOU, RACHEL!!!! I don't know if I was the only one, but I did ask about this. Can't wait to get started. I have a couple of books picked out for the project. Stay well!
-Rhonda HH
I didn’t do the best job ripping pages out but I’m still happy with how it turned out! Thank you so much 😊
Your mom’s stitching is just wonderful! Love the cover! This is going to be a beautiful book! Good to hear sweet Lulu’s happy voice in the background! Glad you are all doing well except for a scolding from a neighbor! 😂. Think of you every day, my friend! 😘❤️
Hahaha poor lady is just scared! I hope you are doing well! Thank you so much!
This was so enjoyable. I loved seeing how to make the book!
Thank you so much 😊
Very beautiful. Love the slow stitching pieces.
Thank you so much!
Thank you . With everything going on love to see your ideas helps the day go fast and see other keep going with great ideas.
Thank you so much 😊
This project is absolutely stunning. As I watched. I thought about what I have on hand to make this journal.
I also love your stories and your interaction wilt your daughter.
Thank you so much!
Love the cover it's beautiful!
Thank you so much!
Oh my RachelThank you so much for this video! I will start on one soon❤ I dearly love hand stitching and horde mind these days. Ha-ha. Your stitching is gorgeous and so is your mothers. Thank you,I think when I get mind made it will be shabby chic❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much 😊
I love making altered book journals but I usually do the pockets, tucks etc… I haven’t ever done one like Jessie’s. I love your cover, really lovely! 🌷🌸🌷
Thank you so much 😊
Had to laugh at myself a bit. Hearing Lulu in the background I convinced myself it was my son shouting from his room or my neighbours son. Took me 30mins to realise even though you spoke about her being on a call :-D (watched video in two sessions)
Thank you so much 😊
Waffle on lovely lady! Great revisit to a project idea that you weren’t happy with the first time you created one. Your Mums work is FABULOUS 😀 hugs Debra Marie
Thank you so much 😊
I love watching you craft! This journal is gorgeous!! I want to make one like this. Thank you for sharing. 😘💜🤗
Thank you so much 😊
I hope you video it!
Hi there, Rachel! Blessings to you and yours!🥰
I haven't made an altered book in a while...now you have me in the mood!😁 Your creations are always inspiring!
Thank you so much!
I love sewing and love adding fabric covers to my journals. This was lovely. I think the closure could have gone through the keyhole. Very nice. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
That cover is so beautiful!
Thank you so much!
