Revisiting journal covers

I love journal covers. I have made several over the years. Here is my most recent one.

Journal Cover for Sam's Kitchen Tea 

I made this for my friend's daughter who was having her kitchen tea.
I like to use a smaller version of "The Chook Shed"s "Never Trust a Skinny Cook". I make these for loved ones as gifts only. Each one is styled differently depending on the person who is receiving them. 



I dye the fabric - this one is indigo dyed. Then i hand embroider some of the cover.
Wooden Rolling Pin button was purchased from Embellish and Trim .

A Journal Cover for my friend, MT

What do you get the friend who has everything? A hand made gift of course. I dyed, block printed and machine embroidered this cover for her 60th birthday gift. I placed a journal inside since i knew she loved having note books to write in. It is removable so when she needs a new book, she just pulls it out and places a new one inside around the same size.
