Begin your creative journey and memory collection with your own gorgeous stitched daydream journals.
Talented textile artist Tilly Rose shows you how to create beautiful cloth journals, among other lovely items, to record precious thoughts and ideas – from fleeting memories to treasured items, sketches, poems and photographs.
There are eight gorgeous things to make, including journals, a sewing case, a project bag and a scroll cloth diary, using a range of exciting techniques that include layering and collage, hand embroidery, transferring your own designs to cloth, stamping, appliqué, embellishing, patchwork and free motion machine embroidery.
A journal provides a fascinating glimpse into your world, is a beautiful object in its own right and will provide inspiration for further embroidered creations.
From the Publisher
What is a daydream journal? And, more importantly, who is this book aimed at? I can answer that by simply saying that it is aimed at anyone who has a creative mind, who loves to find inspiration in the ordinary snippets of life, who loves to dabble with cloth and thread, or maybe enjoys a little mixed-media textile art – and will hopefully enjoy discovering a new path of exploration once they have allowed themselves to delve into the lovely land of curiosity comprising ‘what ifs’.
— Tilly Rose
Textile artists find inspiration all around them – from memories to treasured items, sketches, poems and photos. But how do you collect and record these thoughts and ideas? Tilly Rose shows you how, by creating stunning fabric and paper journals filled with inspiration to spark your creativity.
Gatherings
I started keeping an annual nature diary, inspired by Edith Holden’s writing, several years ago and it is still one of the things that makes me happiest. Each January I start a fresh one.
Diary of a Fen Gal
This project focuses on creating your own paper journal to take with you while out walking on your daily rambles. I want to show you how to make one of my own ‘rustic style ’ paper journal designs that I have been creating since I was a little girl and still love to make to this day.
Tales from a Victorian Haberdashery
This project shows you how I transfer the inspirations and doodles taken from my journals into an actual project.
Winter Sparkle
For me, stitch wraps are another way of keeping a visual diary but, instead of doodling on paper, you can doodle on cloth with a combination of inks, threads and embellishments.
A Fenland Dockey
Whenever I travel anywhere for a little ramble, I always try to take a journal of sorts, my phone to use as a camera and something to sketch with. I needed a bag that allowed my hands to remain free, was easily accessible with no zips or ties and wouldn’t weigh heavy on my shoulders. The result was an old-fashioned Fenland ‘dockey bag’.
Jar of Smiles
I am a collector of jam jars – any shape, any size and any colour – and I keep them for all kinds of special items such as buttons, threads and embellishments, but I also love to add words into the equation. This project encourages you to create your own special place to keep all your precious secrets, quotes, memories, sayings or notes tucked safely away in a pretty jar for future use.
Create your own stunning daydream journal!
All of the techniques are explained with clear instructions and step-by-step photographs, so even those who are just setting out on their creative journey will find inspiration and all the know-how they need to make their own gorgeous daydream journals.
