publication in Sabrina Nähen

The article Spitzenideen (Lace Ideas) published in Sabrina Nähen (April, 2014). 


Me behind the ArtStitch wrote the tutorial "How to make your own journal". The tutorial is published in German, there are some pics and layouts.


I do not know German, and my English is not so good to write the tutorials. Despite the difficulties, our communication was very easy and enjoyable. Many thanks to Chriss Hintemann for the excellent collaboration!

crazy patchwork journal


This journal was made to order. The customer wished to buy a journal made of striped fabric. But unfortunately we had only a little piece of these. So we make an arrangement about journal with crazy patchwork cover. You can see there is a piece of striped fabric, that Igor sewed to the bottom of the journal. The cover is embellished with a little lace.


Filled with assorted paper: white blank paper, lined and squared paper, color paper, vintage maps and pages from old calendar. The journal is went far, far away from Europe, and it is in Hong Kong now.


And here is the feedback: "It's perfect! I like it very much, both the colour and pattern (or combination of fabric pieces) are perfect match to my mind. You are so thoughtful that I could find a strip at the bottom of the journal. Thank you!"

Thank you to all our customers, we are happy and very inspired with your positive feedbacks :)
