I've been looking for a way to better keep track of my quilting projects plus something that would work a little bit as a journal of projects completed. The MQG had a seminar recently about bullet journaling which helped convince me to give the dotted grid a try.
I made myself a pencil sleeve to keep my markers all in one place. I really like this design because it lays flat when open on my desk but you can also tuck the flap in to keep things all secure.
I used my favorite Alison Glass scraps and based my pencil sleeve on a tutorial I found here. I went with a piece 3 1/2'' wide and about 15" long and used fusible fleece. For my next one, I am going to try tapering the flap a bit so it fits better.
And in case you are interested, this was the journal and markers I purchased (affiliate links). The paper quality is really nice!
I've never really fully explored bullet journaling, but I am a fervent list maker. It feels so good to cross something off! I hope the system works well for you and the pencil/pen sleeve is beautiful. :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty pencil sleeve! I've never been successful at journaling. Though I've tried during devotional time, and also for recording quilt makes, I've found it's not worth the time I "waste" doing it. But I truly hope it works for you! We're all wired differently and it may be hugely worthwhile for you. Have fun with it.
