I love, love, love the selvage journal!! I’ve got a pretty good collection of selvages, but am just a bit short of having enough to make a tote bag, so I’ll keep on collecting! I like that you didn’t use much color from the fabric itself and just the actual selvage….it’s wonderful!!
Anne Marie said

I’m just mentally sorting through my scraps to embellish the 15 composition books I got for a dime last fall! Lets see, denim for the 3rd grade boy, pink with a ribbon tiara for the 4-year old Girl! Now I need a sketch book to keep track of all my fabulous ideas, and the inspirations!
Karen N said
The journal looks great. I am dutifully keeping my selvedges. Do you think when selvedges were created that the inventors ever imagined what a useful piece of fabric they would become?

Jenny said
must really find some modge podge of my own, looks like such fun.
Andi said

Thanks for the generous giveaway!

It’s dreamy!!! Please put my name in the drawing, and make it STICKY! 😉

Love it! I am constantly writing down all of the creative and crafty ideas I collect from the internet… someday I’ll work on them, but until then I’d love a super sweet book to keep them accessible!
Janet said
Mod podge is the best and I only discovered it a couple of years ago. I love the journal cover, I would never have thought of it. Thanks for the chance to win it.
Kristin said

Love the mod podge too! Adorable. Hope I win! Kristin

I’m a writer & a quilter, so I’d love a journal that marries both my passions! 🙂

I love the idea of using every bit of fabric- the stripe effect of the selvedges is so intriguing- and you did a great job applying them to the Moleskine notebook which is my very favorite notebook in the world. I would absolutely love to have this one!
Diana said
It’s a great journal cover. Recently i have made a journal cover out of jeans scraps. I am saving selvages to make something like this also.
Krista - Poppyprint said
YES! Thanks for leaving your comments open today..I was retreating all day and totally forgot to check in last night when I got home. I LOVE your journal cover and was so impressed when you originally posted it. I use Moleskines all the time, but never one THIS AMAZING!!! Fingers crossed!!
