New video is up on YouTube! 😊

Come along with me for a real outdoor craft fair day as I pack up Journal Junction, load the car Tetris-style, set up my booth, chat with early shoppers, and share how the day went overall.

I also included a quick walkthrough of many of the amazing vendors at the fair and a full booth reveal at the end!

I just finished a flip through of my sewing pattern journals ✂️📖

These are made from real vintage patterns and each one turns out a little different.

There are lots of layered details, pockets, and some fun bits like a notions dashboard with buttons and trims.

These are available at Booth 25 The Journal Junction at Bliss Marketplace Roseville Square location.

Here’s the video if you want to see inside:

This is where it all starts coming together ✂️📖

In this video I’m prepping my pages and sewing the signatures into my sewing journals—mixing vintage papers, adding pockets, and stitching everything into the covers.

If you like seeing the real process (and all the little details), this one walks through it step by step.

Next I’ll be sharing the finished journals with all the tags, pockets, and ephemera inside.

I tried something new with these sewing pattern covers and wasn’t sure how they’d turn out… but I really love them ✂️

Each one ended up completely different and I think that’s my favorite part. I’ll be turning these into journals next.

A little something new at Journal Junction…

Ever wondered what all those junk journaling terms mean? I’ve put together a simple glossary to help you explore, learn, and get inspired.

Whether you’re just starting or already deep in the layers, flips, and pockets—there’s always something new to discover.

Stop by Booth #25 at Bliss Marketplace , Roseville Square location and take a look. You might just find your next favorite piece… or a new idea to try.

Happy hunting ✨

My inventory officially took over my house… so it was time to do something about it 😳

I spent the day turning my garage into actual storage space for my booth, and it already feels SO much better.

Not perfect, but a huge step forward 🙌

I’ve been working on a batch of journal covers using vintage sewing pattern envelopes, and I tried something a little different with these…

Instead of just layering paper, I backed the patterns with fabric and stitched them right into the covers. It adds strength, texture, and gives them such a unique feel.

In this video, I walk through my full process—from backing the pattern, to attaching it to fabric, trimming, and sewing everything together.

These were a labor of love, but I really enjoyed how they turned out 💛

Next I’ll be decorating them ✨
