Manilla File Folder Journals are Quick and Easy...and Addicting!

All the stitching is done by machine…I just changed up straight with zig-zag. but if you have a machine with more stitches, you can do a lot of other things…

The way it is folded makes it really easy to sew

I like leaving some of the file folder showing and the tabs so that one can see its origins…

I want to experiment with cut outs in the pockets…

Something like this really does let you use up odd pieces of paper you have collected, ribbon scraps, bits of ric-rac…etc. The sky is the limit!
