Thanks for sharing your talents with us, Wendy! You have a wonderful teaching style - calm, clear and very real, such as how you talked about the wrinkled spine edge. You are helping me see that the little imperfections just make it more beautiful and unique. And your oft-made remark "let's have a play" allows me to just have fun. I've learned so much about the creative process from your videos! Thank you!
Mrs. Wendy this a beautiful fabric cover I’ve never attempted to make one before I must give it a try after I’m done with my altered book. Thanks for sharing your process I’m excited to see how you’ll stitch your tab journal to the cover. Thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks so much for sharing your process. I really appreciate seeing all of it in real time. It’s wonderful that your grandchildren have a dog to grow up with-they will be such companions!
Wendy, I have a whole box of my Moms material scraps and a whole box of lace. I’m so glad you showed how to do this especially with the spine, I wouldn’t have known how to do that. I have a piece of table runner I started crocheting so many years ago and ran out of the crochet string and couldn’t find it so didn’t finish it. Now I am thinking to use it on a journal cover. Thanks for your inspiration and your how to instructions. What fun times for your grandchildren, you are making memories with them. TFS! ❤️
Thank you so very much, Wendy! I appreciate when you show us how to work things out when things don’t go “perfectly” as intended. I look forward to trying this!
Oh, Wendy, thanks a bunch for showing how to make the curved spine!!!!! And I like the upholstery cloth -- it's beautiful. Laughing at myself big time: in my head, I had built this curved spine technique into needing some kind of a Rube Goldberg device, and it's glue, fabric, paper, and fingers. LOL Thanks again, for this and all your videos. Love LOVE LOVE your channel. You are simply wonderful as an artist and a teacher.
Wendy, you are the best!! Many, many thanks for taking the time to go through this tutorial. Your teaching method is just perfect. You are kindhearted, bless you 🥰! Carmen from MD Eatern Shore
I didn't have any trouble understanding each step. You explained everything in detail & I thought the visuals were perfect. I learned some new things, like sewing the lace to the cardstock first and the easy way of doing the rounded spine. I've always been so intimidated by that but your way gives me hope that I can do it myself. Thanks Wendy 🌹
Hi Wendy!! When I saw it was a rounded spine, I thought you would put something in the spine to round it. 😀 Your way is much easier! Thanks for showing us how you do this. You're a great teacher!! 💜
What a beautiful fabric cover. TY for taking us along and showing your method and offering your tips. Looking forward to your next video. Have a nice weekend.
This was perfect Wendy, I never have any trouble understanding your instructions. Thanks for sharing your time and inspirations. Take care and God bless. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas
Wow, thank you so much for starting this so quickly after asking if we would all like to see you create this wonderful journal... looking forward to seeing the tabs in use also... Thank you again....
Wendy, I really enjoyed watching you make this cover 💛 ok I hear you on the grandchildren. When we were young...and it was our job to care for our children was so different. My husband and I get so exhausted! It is fun though 💛
Thank you Wendy, for being a great teacher. Love this cover. Grandchildren are wonderful and do wear us out. But we wouldn't have them any other way. So sorry William was sick, I hope he is feeling better. It's hard to see them sick, but they can be very cuddly. Thanks again. I could picture where you were sitting, thanks again for sharing your beautiful creative space with us.💕
This was the perfect video for me. I have some beautiful upholstery fabric that I bought to make a cover, but I haven't figured out how to do it yet. Now I can just follow your instructions. Thank you! I think I'll use a dowel when curving the edges of the spine. Hopefully, it will work as well in real life as it does in my mind!
Out the door again with 2 more beautiful journal covers!! They are just lovely and knowing you, they are going to turn into exceptional journals 🤗❤️ Tamara
Loving this! I was thinking I might try cutting paper towel rolls for a curved spine. They are a bit flimsy so maybe 2 or 3…I knew I was saving them for something! Thanks for showing us your beautiful work!
Easy to follow your process. You have a nice way of explaining....not too slow or fast. New to junk journal and new sub for a couple of months. Learning much from your videos! Collecting supplies slowly but surely to make my own journals from your supply list you mention. Eventually I will get there. Look forward to your videos! Thank you! :)
Hi Wendy. I always love watching you create. I wanted to share a though with you. Maybe you could try using a short piece of pole about the size of a broom handle to help you form your curved edges in your spine. Thank you for all you do!
When my daughter was four, she caught something from daycare called "scarletina." It closed the whole daycare, and we dropped her off at Nana's of course, as we both worked. The doctor called Nana later in the day and my daughter was quarantined at Nana's house for ten days!! She was miserable, of course with a fairly high fever and a red and sore throat. Needless to say, Nana earned enough stripes for an entire year, and then some!! Aimee recovered beautifully of course. These journals are so great, because they more that they are handled, the better they get.
Wendy, it is nice to watch you now knowing your environnement! For the spine, you could put your cover on a big shower curtain rode while drying or on your towel rode where your patchwork kilt is as it is a square one. So the spine would take a square orrounded shape from the rode just by itself. Have a nice we.
Beautiful fabric for the cover. The process you use is easy to follow and I want to give it a try. I like the way you curved edges on the spine. It nicely softens the look of the cover. 😊
Fabulous material Wendy and I love the video. I make my covers the same way but to curve the spine I use a rolling pin. Wrap the middle around the rolling pin and roll it through your hands it works for me xx
I really enjoyed this video. Everything made perfect sense and was super helpful, especially to someone (like myself) new to the world of journal making. I can already see that this journal cover is going to be beautiful! I am familiar with creating a tabbed binding, but I’m curious to see how you attach it to the cover. Appreciative hugs from Ky, USA.
Great tutorial!👏🏽👏🏽 I know this video was not recorded during a live, but it almost felt as if you could hear me and your other subscribers oohing and ahhing (I actually said out loud, no, it’s too perfect don’t cut it!) over the first piece of fabric you tried on the cover corner pocket which caused you to say you weren’t quite ready to cut it yet!👀🙌🏽 I have pieces I purchased specifically for journal making, however, every time I pull them out I just pet them for a bit then put them back away.🤣😂🕊🥰🙋🏻♀️💜tfs
You are such an encouraging creator, Wendy. You offer a way of doing something that works well for you, but never make it sound as though it's the only way. Indeed, you seem to encourage viewers to try things they might come up with themselves. I appreciate this, particularly given my low vision as I often have to 'get creative' to accomplish what seems like the simplest task. Much easier for well-sighted people. I do have a question, Wendy, that I hope you'll discuss sometime. I remember when I started watching your channel your journals were all hard covers make (I believe) according to the Nik the Booksmith courses you took. They were, of course, beautiful and beautifully made. I wonder what has affected your decision to (or so it seems to me) transition to the soft-cover type journals. Again, this is a question about evolution of styles, etc. It is in no way meant to be critical or controversial. Just my curiosity. Thank you, Wendy.
Thank you, Wendy. This really helped me understand the process. Do you think it would work to wrap the cover around a thick handle (i.e. snow shovel or even a pool noodle) or would that make it too round? I appreciate so much your easy manner - and your stories. 💜
Hi Wendy, I don't know if you will see this comment/question. I am going back to re-watch a few of your videos which explain how to make the soft fabric covers because I am getting ready to make my first one. My question is - why did you use the extra paper in the spine for this one when your older videos don't use any cardboard or paper along the spine? Is it because of the nature of the "tab" journal? Thanks if you see this and can answer me. Love, love, love all your videos. So helpful and inspiring. ❤❤❤
I love it! You explained quite well, even for my sometimes dense brain. I had to laugh at that greeting fabric, I have the exact same fabric and I just love it. Do you think this would work with a lighter piece of fabric than the canvas? That’s one fabric I don’t have. I’m sure I did at one time because I remember purchasing some. But I must have used it. Thank you so very much for sharing this wonderful process with all of us. Excited to start the journal part of this. 💕🥰💕
My son uses a steamer and anything round when he is shaping the visor part of caps- I wonder if that would work for adding a curve to the spine? He just steams it briefly and holds it around the object he is using to shape it (I thought a rolling pin might work for a spine). Those lace decisions were tough! 😉

I don't know how to sew and I don't have a machine but I have enjoyed watching you do this.
Thanks Shirley ❤❤
Thanks for showing how to do this - very helpful! Looks good!

Love this cover! Thanks for showing us your process. :)
I love them both. Thanks for showing how to make them!
You are so welcome!❤
For a rounded spine i cut a paper towel roll in half and flatten it a little. Lovely piece of linen. 😘
Wonderful! Thank you! So excited to try this myself!
Love it! Thanks for sharing !😊😊😎
Loving this! I was thinking I might try cutting paper towel rolls for a curved spine. They are a bit flimsy so maybe 2 or 3…I knew I was saving them for something! Thanks for showing us your beautiful work!
Easy to follow your process. You have a nice way of explaining....not too slow or fast. New to junk journal and new sub for a couple of months. Learning much from your videos! Collecting supplies slowly but surely to make my own journals from your supply list you mention. Eventually I will get there. Look forward to your videos! Thank you! :)
Thanks for subbing! ❤❤
Great video Wendy and a lovely cover idea.
Thank you so much for sharing this cover, Wendy! Much appreciated! So great to see you problem solve as you go!
Thanks for sharing. Will definitely give it a go.

Love the fabric! The curved spine is great!

Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for your video, I have been wanting to try this. You make it look so simple. Looks like I will be trying this today.😀
Wonderful ❤️❤️

Makes total sense - easy peasy!! ❤

Hi Wendy, maybe the inner tube of a paper towel roll might help create the curve you need. Just a thought.

It definitely can work with a lighter fabric. If you found it flimsy after it dries you could add another layer of interior fabric ❤❤
@@WendysJournalAdventure thank you Wendy 💕🥰💕

Just so lovely XXX
I was thinking if the bubble along the spine doesn’t come out just flip it over so that the back cover becomes the front.
