About this deal

Template – printed out or displayed on a tablet or laptop screen. I’ve designed a 2023 template. I’ll be using my laptop for the below method. Whether you gift it to a loved one or keep it for yourself, this journal is a precious keepsake that invites you to rejoice in the simple act of writing and in the abundant blessings of faith. I’ve had this embroidery starter kit for literally years and it’s just been taking up space in my WorkBox 3.0 craft cabinet, so I might as well finally put it to use. However, since I’m a crafty gal (ahem, I do have a DIY blog, after all), I’m always on the hunt for a fun new hobby or skill to learn. Before adding a second or third coat of Mod Podge, you can paint your papers to add extra details and more life to your design.

These can be used to decorate the embroidery hoop itself and/or keep the fabric tighter in the hoop Start with the top and bottom edges. Then, the left and right edges. Finally, you may want to give the edges a professional touch by creasing the triangle into the corners. Felt is a type of textile material that’s made of matted, condensed, and pressed fabrics. It could be wool, acrylic, or other types of synthetic fibers. After seeing this article last fall, I knew that finally giving hand embroidery a try was my next pursuit!If you have a Silhouette or Cricut machine, you could even make your own out of cereal boxes (really!) Lay the edges of the inner and outer felt pieces overlapping each other and sew around the edges of your entire journal. You can use a machine if you have one, or sew with your hand if you want to maintain the unrefined look of most felt journals. Rejoice in the Lord as you journal your thoughts, prayers, and reflections in this beautiful Embroidered Journal. It serves as a constant reminder to find joy in your faith journey and to celebrate the Lord’s presence in your life. Many stitchers created embroidery journals that were essentially visual diaries representing their daily activities across a single year. This method of embroidery journal is perhaps the most personal. No two could possibly be alike, as it reflects personal experience, and it’s “written” in a visual language that can only be understood by the stitcher.

To add flair to your felt design, you can add small decorative items, embroidery, glitter, or other materials that can be glued or sewn on the felt. Measuring 5.75 inches in width, 8.375 inches in height, and .625 inches in depth, these journals are the perfect size to carry with you or keep on your desk. They are a tangible expression of your faith and a wonderful way to infuse spirituality into your daily life. I love this marker and eraser set and also this air-erasable pen, but there are others that erase with water or heat If your hoop doesn’t get clamp-tight and the fabric gets loose easily, or if you just want it to be decorated (me!), now would be the time to bind your hoop with some fabric scraps or ribbon.The following items aren’t absolutely necessary, but they make life sooo much easier and/or add some really fun decorative elements to your embroidery journal. I have been working on my own (larger) Embroidery journal when I get time and it is giving me so much pleasure – mainly because it gives one the freedom to stitch different designs and also because it is just for me! It occurred to me that a little mini journal would be a great idea as each project is not very time consuming but at the end of it, you will have something very special, a collection of projects housed in a beautiful little book. I might even do 3 little journals, one for each of my daughters? This mini journal comes with my compliments, it is free for all to use in any way you choose. I’m using what is probably the most common embroidery journal design: a pie template divided into twelve monthly sections with the year in the center.

I’m using a 12-inch plastic hoop and recommend that you don’t go much smaller than that since you’ll need to fit a lot of small icons, plus all the other parts of your design. The inside of your journal cover is probably exposed to the raw edges of the fabric. To get rid of this, you can cut out some pieces of fabric and cardboard. Before starting this embroidery journal on New Year’s Day, I knew nothing about fabrics, threads, needles, hoops or any of the stuff in that avoided-with-wonderment craft department.
