At first it pained me to know that you were going to cut up that perfect jean jacket! But when I saw the closures you made from the bottom band I knew it was worth it and I know that you will make beautiful use of the rest of that jacket. There are millions of jean jackets in the world, but only one jean journal cover creation by Barbara! Can't wait to see part 2!

Beautiful Barbara. I am making a fabric journal for my mom and used a soft denim for the cover. I used the pocket on the front for a tuck spot. And now I am going to use your idea and make some little flowers and also do some embossing on it. Thanks for the inspiration once again.😻
