I've made many of my own journals over the years, often from recycled materials like this old book.
Even with purchased journals I like to try different techniques and themes.
Some that I make every year are pocket journals, which I put together from the pages of the previous year's old wall calendars.
I also add many mini quilts and textile art pieces to the pages of those I make and purchase, but I've never made a journal entirely out of fabric (and now it seems odd to me that I haven't.)
For instructions I've looked around online, but the blog posts and videos I've found on fabric journal making are more mixed-media. You can take an online class in making fabric journals, too, but they're a bit pricey. I think from this point I'll simply improvise and make two fabric journals according to what I want to do. I'm sure my experience with the paper type will help.
