Give Your Small Artworks a Place They Belong

Make a handmade fabric-page journal that's ready for saving your small art.

You need one place where your tea bag art, fabric scraps, ecoprints on paper, old photos, stitching, and little experiments can finally become part of something instead of staying in a drawer.

In this $47 online course, I'll show you step by step how to construct the journal, from the fabric cover and pages to the flexible binding that holds it all together.

Create your own Tiny Stories Textile Art Journal

Want to Make the Art You See on These Pages?

Tiny Stories Textile Journal Course teaches you how to construct the textile journal itself: the fabric pages, flexible spine, and structure that holds your small artwork and keepsakes.

If the little pieces of art you see throughout this journal are what caught your attention, my Snippets Tea Bag Art course may be what you’re looking for. In Snippets, I teach you how I turn used tea bags, fabric, thread, and small details into original small pieces of mixed-media art.

The two courses work beautifully together, but they teach two different things: Tiny Stories teaches you to make the journal. Snippets teaches you to make the art.

If you're anything like many of the women I teach...

• You have beautiful little pieces tucked into boxes, envelopes, baskets, and drawers.

• You have an embroidered postcard.

• You have an eco print that turned out better than expected.

• You have a saved scrap of your daughter’s first dress.

• You have a few stitched pieces of old family linens.

  They all matter.

  But without somewhere for them to live, they slowly disappear beneath the next project.

  Months later you find them again and wonder,

  "Now what was I going to do with this?"

  Tiny Stories Textile Journal gives those pieces a home.

  Not because journals are important.

  Because your work deserves not to be lost.

Why I teach this

I didn't make this course because I wanted to teach bookbinding.

I made it because I kept making small pieces of art that deserved better than living in a drawer. And I want to share that place with you.

After years of experimenting with tea bags, fabric, paper, eco prints, stitching, and collage, I needed a simple place where all those pieces could live together.

This journal solved that problem for me.

It may solve it for you too.

When you finish this course, you'll have

• one completed textile journal you can continue adding to for years

• a practical way to organize your small artwork

• confidence starting new pages whenever inspiration strikes

• somewhere to save the pieces that matter instead of losing them in a drawer

What You’ll Need:

Just a few basics you probably already have:

• Fabric scraps for pages + cover

• Stiff cardboard for the covers

• Needle & thread

• Scissors + ruler

• Pins or binder clips

• White glue

• Hand or sewing machine stitching works
