Hello my lovelies!
For those of you who have been waiting for the tutorial for the journal wrap then your wait is over! This is part one - the setting up and prepping of base materials including some lovely relaxing slow stitching of the inner fabric.
You will need:
Felt
Wadding
Two materials to use at front and inner
Scraps of gloriousness to cover your wrap with
Thread
Needle
Scissors
Beads
Sequins
Embellishments
I use a wool blend felt which has a high percentage of wool and I recommend that. I order my felt from Paper and String:
https://www.paper-and-string.net/premium-mini-roll
Craft felt is not strong enough to hold all the stitches and may start to fall apart so I don’t recommend it in this project unless you can get a really good quality one. If you are allergic to wool then maybe a thin cotton wadding would work also.
Cotton thread used:
DMC COTON PERLE 8
ANCHOR PERLE COTTON
AURIFIL 12
The next part will be all the glorious picking of fabrics to go on the front - a favourite part of mine - auditioning fabric and thread!
