One of a kind mixed media fabric journal vintage French textile cover handmade art book

A richly textured, one-of-a-kind mixed media journal, created using layered strips of vintage and antique floral fabrics.

The cover is built from carefully stitched textile remnants, each strip carrying its own history, from soft faded florals to brighter mid-century prints. Frayed edges, visible stitching, and raw seams give the piece a beautifully imperfect, tactile quality, full of movement and character.

At the centre, small stitched details and trims add depth and individuality, making this feel more like a textile artwork than a traditional notebook.

Inside, the journal is formed from a vintage Chartnell Designers sectional pad, featuring structured graph paper pages alongside blank areas. The contrast between the precise grid and the expressive fabric cover makes it ideal for both creative work and reflective use.
