Crafting a Journal

I was not expecting to make another journal, but the inspiration came from Amy at Crafty Cat on Youtube. It's a grunge denim cover, & an old pair of jeans was on the top of the fabric pile, so why not.

How did I achieve this glorious grunginess? Ripping, machine stitching, adding fabric, lace, cheese cloth & thread, & staining with ink.

Front cover. The journal is 6"x9" with 2 signatures, total 80 pages.

Back cover. The shoestring closure is sewn at the spine.
