I love stitching & I love bookbinding. How lucky to find someone who combines them both so beautifully. 💗💗💗
Thank you and welcome 🤗
Can't wait to get my hands on this project. Don't you wish everyone knew the joy of feeling cloth textures? I might even make a book of simply special 'as is' cloths.
Yes absolutely, cloth is such a part of our lives, from the moment we are wrapped in it at birth. Your idea of a book of special cloths is a lovely one, it would take great restraint on my part to NOT stitch into it though... 😁❤️
I have been to the thrift store three days in a row. January 1st all clothes were a dollar a piece, on Jan 2nd 25 cents a piece and today, Jan 3rd, 1 cent a piece! Incredible. I bought things to start my collection of scraps. 😊
That's fabulous ☺️
I love the idea of keeping knots on the front, too. And the non-stitch bind-in is genius. Thank you for this series … ❤️🙏
My pleasure Sandra ❤️
This is most lovely. I am thrilled I happed upon you. So relaxing & inspiring.
Thank you and welcome 🤗
I absolutely agree.❤
Hi Kathryn, I just wanted to let you know that since my daughter and I discovered your channel we have finally found a craft that we can share, my daughter is blind and over the years we’ve tried to discover a craft that she could enjoy without without frustration about the outcome, we are loving it,
Thank you, thank you! It’s only taken over 40 years he he 😂 ❤
You made me cry but in a good way... I am so happy you can enjoy stitching together ❤️❤️❤️
That’s beautiful!!! Enjoy!!!
Between yourself and Marion of 'Marion's World' we are going to have a wonderful year of stitching company. Thank you, Kathryn.
My pleasure, looking forward to watching Marion's first stitch journal video, haven't had chance yet. ❤
Oh my... oh my....... this journal is gorgeous. Love the fabric cover. Love the stitching on the cover. Love the mix of both paper signatures and a fabric signature. Perfection !!!! Thank you. I also love the first journal tutorial that you shared with us.... i.e. the journal you are using for the 2024 stitch project. They are both amazing. I am going to wait to make my journal until later in the year when I have had a chance to decide on which one to make and what size I want it to be, I will have plenty of time to maybe try a small prototype of each to play with. In the meantime, I am going to make my weekly pieces and keep them in a pile (in a box to keep them clean) until I have my journal made.
Hi Susan, I am doing exactly the same! I can't decide between paper or cloth pages but after seeing this, I may do both. I will probably make my journal last of all. It's exciting isn't it?
@@healgrowlovecommunity8397 It certainly is exciting !!! I think that I will also do my journal last, but I might start it half way through the year once I know the answers to size and paper vs fabric signatures. And.... just think..... it's only the first week.... Yay... 51 more weeks to go !!!! Such fun to be had.
Good idea to wait and see... 😊 Meanwhile, I have to come up with a project for this journal as I am using the other for the weekly stitch... Watch this space as they say 😉❤️
The Grand Finale…yes the KNOTS…..ummm……after a stop and a closer look ….they the knots come across stately…..” time-out for Naughty Scissors “…..”bendy gap”…..”gotta get that third hand soon in the Mail”…”stuffed with stuff”….now let the Year 2024 begin…. Love learning this language of community and friendship….
You made me chuckle, thank you! 😁😉❤️
I look closer at your stitching when watching on my phone. Touch screen with two fingers together and move fingers apart. Zooming in on a touch screen, works a treat. Your quality of filming is spot on!
Thank you that's lovely to know 😊😊😊
I loved this series! Hand stitching is so freeing and relaxing. Creative mindfulness. Thank you for sharing your skills with us.
I made 3 cloth signatures for mine; planning on stitching on separate pieces of cloth and then attaching them to each page as I go. I suspect my journal will become very very fat in no time. But thats ok....I can make another! Book 1, Book 2, Book ?. Thanks so much Kathryn, for these inspiring videos.
Good idea, yes, a very fat single volume or several volumes, the choice is yours 😊
I always enjoy and learn so much watching your lovely process . A lovely series.🥰
Thank you 😊
Thank you Kathryn that is the best tutorial I have watched. Have made cloth books for a few years particularly during a long lockdown. I have recently have been stuck and done no books. I just wandered into you blog so glad I did. Looking forward to more of books thank you for pointing out Marion too you are both my sort of artists.
Thank you so much and welcome ❤
My video from you somehow was more fuller and more thorough- it must be chaotic phone- I love to watch it because I miss some of what you say- that’s MY fault/ my stroke/ so I’m loving what you show us and it’s great! 😊 thank you, Katherine!🥰❤️
And she is gorgeous. I just have ideas running round my head now. I’m sure I won’t sleep tonight now. Blessings Gail.🙋🏼♀️🇦🇺
😁 oh I hope you do sleep, and have lovely dreams about cloth and stitching ❤️
Feel inspired to make a cloth journal now, thank you so much, a delight to watch.
Thank you glad you enjoyed it 😊
Love it ❤❤❤❤ thank you so much you are a splendid teacher love your sense of humor
Thank you 😊
It’s gorgeous! I love it! 😍😍😍
Today I had a big session with you, because I had just watched part 3 that I had lost for some mysterious reason...😂
I tend to stitch the signatures all wonky, I do everything by eye! Because the first time I did it, I still didn’t know how to measure like you did now, and it turned out with some up, some down, and you see the spine with different lengths of twine. But I looked at and I liked it, so I kept on doing like that 😂. Whatever makes us happy, isn’t it?
Well, I hope that cold goes away soon. Be well 💙💛❤️💗🖤💜💚🧡♥️
Yes exactly, whatever makes us happy. 😉 I think I have the cold on the run, I am drowning it in hot honey and lemon ❤️
I really love the little red accents in all that blue. Also bringing back the red stitches on the inside piece makes it all into a whole. In Dutch we talk about "de rode draad van het verhaal" which translates as the red thread of the story. It's meaning is the continuing factor of the whole. Seeing you work on this is very inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing !
Thank you, love that Dutch expression, very descriptive ❤️
Just love the finished look, just fabulous
Thank you Jean ❤️

Hello from Beautiful British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦
This turned out so beautiful! I am loving watching you.. so happy I found your channel, just finished my weaving page too!
Wonderful, it's lovely to have you here ❤️
Well done and this is just the start! I love your style of teaching, the wittering (sp?), quietness, Fred Fred’s hairs. I hope your cold is gone (for your sake, not mine).
I do often hear comments from YT hosts regarding comments from their viewers. Such as move the fabric closer, etc., etc., etc. I wish these few viewers could understand the hard work, time, and effort is put in to creating videos. I should have said ‘free’ videos. Thank you for reading my rant. All in all, keep up the great work!
Thank YOU for saying that. 🥰 The vast majority of comments are lovely and kind and appreciative, but the criticism does sting. I need to grow a thicker skin. On the meditation scrolls video, a woman just commented 'weird'... I replied 'rude'... But the comments about move it closer, move it further away, you are too quiet, you are too loud, etc, etc... grrrr! Once again, thank you for understanding 😁❤️❤️❤️
@@k3n.clothtales It must be difficult to read those comments. I will never understand the nasty commenters. Unfortunately, all RUclips creators get them. It says far more about their character...... than it does about you and your wonderful videos. Please know that your videos are perfect..... just the way they are !!!
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Thoroughly enjoyed your Boro inspired journal tutorials 😊
Thank you Julie 😊
this journal is so lovely! it was helpful to see it all come together. i love how it turned out. thanks so much for sharing this with us all. linda from california
My pleasure 😊
A great tutorial I will definitely be back for the next one. Thank you. I have started the 18 x 8 in last night so at least I’m on my way
Excellent ❤️
I just took a bookbinding class and now I have a place to use those skills.
Thank you for sharing this project all the way. It was informative and entertaining ❤
My pleasure Pam 😊
Very nice job! Thank you for sharing.
This is so great
So beautiful. And such an inspirational tutorial. I love the idea of both fabric and paper signatures. 💖💖💖
So pleased you like it ❤
Kathryn your covers so beautiful and I am finishing off on the first one but oh dear am I battling to twine my fabric. I will keep watching your tutorial and try again and again! Thank you for the projects ❣️
I did my first today! Cotton with organza ribbon, was tough on my hands, I have arthritis, but made àbout a foot. Adjusting as I went along uses muscle I have not used in ages, persevere lm sure you can do it.
Your video isn't good it's excellent! Will soon be making that baby book....😊
I am sorry you are still struggling. If you feel like giving up, don't feel bad, perhaps you could braid three narrow strips of cloth together instead? ❤️
@@mandyhernon2238 thank you so much, and for encouraging Marci with her twine. Love this community ❤️
Beautiful as usual! I have a completely off topic question. In the thumbnail picture of you, there is something rather lovely draped over the back of the sofa behind you. Is it a patchwork quilt? If so, the patches are an unusual shape. Please could we (Royal 'we' because I'm assuming that there are others as nosy as me) get a closer look - maybe when you do your studio tour? Thank you Kathryn 😀

Hi again Mary, I am actually sitting on the old sofa on our covered terrace in that photo and that's an old quilt I made years ago, machine pieced in order to practice free machine quilting on when I was teaching myself to do that. I am hoping that when the better weather comes I can do some filming out there because it's a lovely place to sit and stitch, overlooking the horse field and the woods. ❤️
Hi, I am new to your channel. Thank you for showing this tutorial. I really enjoyed it, and I am going to start this project as soon as I have finished what I am doing at the moment.
Thank you for saying what you said at 8:00 -8:28. I got into proper embroidery because I liked the precision and beauty of it all before I got into fabric collages and slow stitching but I still find that I liked giving it a tidy look which some people might think it isn't messy enough for slow stitching 😊.
You are so welcome, slow stitch is more an ethos than a style of stitching as far as I am concerned, and it's fully inclusive 😁♥️
So wonderful, thank you
Just awesome, love your method of the binding in of the cloth pages. Enjoying the 1st Prompt and will make a journal for all 52 prompts to go in.
Happy New Year .
Thanks so much! ❤
THANK YOU!! 💜💜💜
You're welcome!! 🤗
Just starting on my Boro cover here, and I am notoriously messy! (Sigh)🌷🌷🌷
Art is always a result of my mess! Some areas are very organized in my life. But where I create and store stuff is my best messy, creative self. Enjoy the journey Jan
@@steveneby3120 well said!
If messy is your thing then embrace it and create beautiful, messy work 😉😉❤️
Wonderful!!
Thank you 😊
Your stitching is beautiful. I can see it fine as you’re working. Love the touch of red. Thanks for sharing your process and progress with us all. Did you add batting or is it just four layers of fabric? Witter away, I love it.
Thank you so much, I stitched some very thin, soft batting to the liner cloth ❤️
😊❤️
Thank You
Nice book! 🎉🎉
Thank you 😊
Looking goooooood better not call you baby ha ha just in case your husband goes mad with me rest well & get better soon Peter Scotland xxx 😅
😂❤
Love it!
Oh, it’s so good. It’s so good…it looks so cozy and inviting.
How many journals do you suppose you’ve made?
Oh my, I have never counted 😂 filled stitch journals, maybe a dozen or so as they take months to fill and I have been making them on and off for about 10 years. But actual journals, lost count! I have sold some at exhibitions and given many away as gifts, and I have a few here still . 😊
That’s truly amazing. Your hands have stitched MILES!!!
If you ever think to sell any of your journals, I’d be honored to purchase and give a good home to a piece you’ve made. ⭐️
😁 I wonder if I laid all my stitched lines end to end how far they would stretch? 🤔😂 I used to have an online shop and maybe I will revive it at one point. Thank you so much 😊
K3N, Do you think that being a librarian is what compels you to make stitched books? How do you think that that evolved? How did you marry quilting with bookmaking? I'm curious. Thanks for sharing as always! ❤
very possibly, I love books and I love stitching so I suppose it's a logical leap! 😁❤️
Great tutorial! You make it look easy, but in reality, I think I would need a couple more hands...
It's a bit challenging, the binding part but paper clips or something similar help ❤️
Hi K3n. [Hopefully] quick question for you. Would it work okay to stitch and trim 2 buttonholes on the inside cover at the spine where you added your ties, one near the top and one near the bottom to thread your ties through? Then, it would be easy to add more cloth signatures while allowing more secure tying.
I just am irked by the ties pulling the top and bottom of the spine in when tying. Of course there would need to be accommodation for the pokey spine piece and any other structure you're going to introduce.
Yes, great idea. On the journal with the book covers I showed way back at the beginning of part one, I actually made holes with a punch and put in those metal ring doodads, sorry it's late here and I can't remember the proper name for them. 😜 I didn't draw attention to them because not everyone has that kit, but button holes would be a good solution. I agree the pulling in could be irksome (great word) , for mine I think I will probably bind the cloth signature in once I have finished working in it. But your button holes idea will work a treat. 😁❤️
This is so lovely Katherine! You said you have 5 cloth pages in the middle signature but isn’t it easier to have an even number when i have to sew two pages together when you are done working on them? 🍀💖Machteld
Thank you and yes of course, if you want to sew the pages together, you need an even number. Wish I could say 'spot the deliberate mistake ' but that wouldn't be honest 😁❤️
@@k3n.clothtales or you can make pocket of the one page, then it is totally planned!💖🍀😀
Yes! Of course that was my intention all along 😜
Hi k3n, just found you last week and loving your projects. I have recently started a Boro inspired journal but have found that I can't sew in straight lines - that's not good for this style 😀 !! Can you recommend a pen for fabric which will disappear over time please ?? Huge thanks 💕
I would strongly encourage you not to draw lines and just go with the flow, but otherwise faint lines with a normal, softish pencil if you really feel you need to 😉😁❤️
I’m watching a different segment you taped, so it’s not in this video-please don’t feel like you need to apologize for your working-hands!!! I HOPE you don’t get nasty comments!!!
Thank you, I will try to stop apologising. 😉❤️
I like neater sewing, personally, but I decided to put some double-fold bias binding around the edges of my cover and that was... Too far heh. I used some bits to make it, and have one of those binding tools, but now I know that's not really meditative for me and i won't go on gilding lilies in the future. I want to be finished quicker and not feel obligated to it.
I wouldn't normally do binding but this thrifted piece was just the right colour and a bit worn and faded so went with the look. As I always say, you do you and also, listen to the piece, it will tell you what it needs.. ❤
I'm wondering what stitch you used to add the edging...your husband's trouser parts? I'm so sorry about your cold. Feel better soon!!❤
Thank you, getting there... I just used a blind stitch with a fine grey thread ❤️
Thank you
What is boro?
I talk about it in more detail in part one but in a nutshell, it is the Japanese art/culture of mending and patching indigo dyed cloth. 💙
@@k3n.clothtales thanks ! I am doing the small cloth book with the woven strips . Can’t wait for next Mondays prompt !
