An embroidery journal combines two hobbies: embroidery & journaling. Each icon you embroider will somehow represent your day. Whether this be something you did during your day, somewhere you went, how you felt, etc. It can truly be anything that your mind comes up with. Over the course of a year, you will have amassed a collection of 365 icons, together representing your year.
This 18-page guide will take you through the process of creating your own embroidery journal. The guide covers 7 different topics: Introduction to Embroidery Journals, what supplies are needed, how to set up your journal, tracking your days, designing your own icons, spacing out your icons, and how to keep yourself motivated. This guide also includes a general embroidery journal template, which is used in setting up your journal and can be used every year. This guide does not teach you how to embroider.
There is also an additional PDF included that covers multiple ways on getting caught up on your embroidery journal if you find yourself behind or starting after January 1st.
This is such a creative project and one where it is SO easy to make unique to yourself.
