Daydream Journals: Memories, ideas & inspiration in stitch, cloth & thread

This is a beautiful and inspiring book full of helpful information and 'how to's'. Not so much an instruction manual as a dip in and out for ideas book. Loved it and will be having a go.

This is a beautifully presented book. Photos are excellent. Ideas are great.

Absolutely delightful, knowledgeable, interesting and informative book, I just love it.

I bought this book to help me decide what to do with multiple embroidery pieces I am making. I will be putting them together in a book now.

Beautiful book thank you. Very quick postage!

I am so pleased with this book it’s really lovely. I am an experienced sewer and have made two previous sewn journals however, this book has thought me so much I didn’t know. Adding colour to fabric and paper by using flowers and berries. Block stamping. Using a petal wash. Flower tapping. Solar dyeing to name a few I am so happy I bought this book. I would definitely recommend it even if you are a beginner or have never sewn before this book gives you step by step instructions and has dozens of clear photos walking you through the process. So pleased with my purchase

I’m so pleased I bought myself this book. Really like the way it’s set out and you’d expect no less from Search Press. What’s really nice about this particular book is that the materials she’s using are not expensive and the projects are basically very elegant ‘stash busters’. I’ve tried paper journaling but usually end up hand sewing certain parts, which leads me to seek out inspiration from stuff that crosses between paper and fabric, which this book does. Great title, very inviting to people that look to combine all their skills in a cohesive and personally meaningful way.

I bought several copies of this to give to my family as a challenge for the new year. There are so many reasons to keep a journal and so many reasons to start this year. This book is the push we all need to record life, to stop and take stock, to record and review. I gave them as gifts with a blank journal and a piece of calico as a starting point. I'm looking forward to seeing and hearing what my family and friends come up with! It's a lovely book, full of inspirational ideas and tips.

Love this book, great detail and projects :)

C'est un magnifique livre.

Informativ mit vielen Step_by Step Anleitungen-Sehr persönlich und einfühlend geschrieben und eine guteAnregung zur eigenen Geschichte zu kreieren.Ich kann das Buch nur weiter empfehlen für alle die Lust haben sich auf das Thema einzulassen und etwas Schönes zu schaffen!

This is a lovely book, well-written and properly edited with lots of full-color photos so us visual peeps can understand her vision. If you want to try to journal, embroider, sketch, doodle, sew, etc, Ms. Rose is the perfect guide. She shows us how lovely imperfection can be. Ms. Rose also has no expectations of her readers going out and buying expensive art supplies in order to recreate her projects.Ms. Rose shows us how to use the materials Mother Nature has provided us to add color and texture to both cloth and paper. All you need to begin is a basic hand-sewing kit, pens (waterproof is best), pencils, and paper.Scraps of material, repurposed clothing, linens, and blankets, thread, embroidery floss, and other bits and bobs (as the Brits say) can be added to the list as you move through the projects. I'd also include a pair of snips for cutting twigs, flowers, leaves, and other natural materials that strike your fancy. I have some bark that came from a tree I cut back sitting between bricks just waiting to be added to a project!The only issue I have with this whole book, and it's a really small one, is that she does not show how to actually stitch together folios to make a "real" book. But that's okay! There are other authors who have done so already. There are YouTube tutorials, too.Here are two recommendations to fill in the gaps for you, in case you are interested in turning paper or cloth into books:"Re-Bound: Creating Handmade Books from Recycled and Repurposed Materials" by Jeannine Stein.And one of my personal favorites:"Bookbinding: A How To Guide" by E. P. Carter.Both books are available for Kindle Unlimited readers, but they are also worth purchasing so you can have them forever.I feel the Daydream Journals is an awesome book for all ages, and is valuable for all crafters from beginner to expert. Highly recommend to buy or borrow.10/10 unicorns! 🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄
