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

Begin your creative journey and memory collection with your own gorgeous stitched daydream journals.

Talented textile artist Tilly Rose shows you how to create beautiful cloth journals, among other lovely items, to record precious thoughts and ideas - from fleeting memories to treasured items, sketches, poems and photographs.

There are eight gorgeous things to make, including journals, a sewing case, a project bag and a scroll cloth diary, using a range of exciting techniques that include layering and collage, hand embroidery, transferring your own designs to cloth, stamping, appliqué, embellishing, patchwork and free motion machine embroidery.

A journal provides a fascinating glimpse into your world, is a beautiful object in its own right and will provide inspiration for further embroidered creations.
