The first fabric journal I'm making is for the red upcycled box with the primitive/tribal print embellishments. The fabric I used for the box came in a hand-dyed bundle from one of my favorite textile recycling sellers, and I've been saving it for a special project. The bold print has unusual colors, and although I rarely match things I decided to use the same fabric for my journal cover.
Recycling is the basic theme of this project, so with the print I paired some cotton batting I harvested from a quilt end that came in my scraps box, and a piece of plain white scrap broadcloth for the inside cover.
The interior of the box is 7" X 8", so I made the cover 13" X 15", which will give me a journal that is 6-1/2" X 7-1/2".
Right now I'm quilting and beading the journal cover, and once that's done I'll sew in the pages.
