This tutorial popped up on my Facebook page the other day and reminded me that i have wanted to make one for ages so today i had a free afternoon for the first time this week and decided to spend it in the kitchen sewing my new squared paper notebook it's very own cover :D
 |
| i started by choosing my fabrics |
 |
| and ended up with this! |
 |
| Inside |
 |
| Pen holder and elastic closure |
 |
| Button closure with felt and embroidery! |
With hindsight i should have used a plain fabric to line it as it is not visible at all but other than that i am very happy with it and my new notebook will be nice and easy to spot on the bookshelf now too!
The fabric is from Ikea, i bought it years ago but have always loved it too much to use it. Now i get to see it all the time! :oD
Now it's time to crack on with the Great Cowl KAL, i have the last short row section to do and then a couple of rows of edging and i can cast off all 368 stitches which i have a feeling might take a while!!

Really loving the notebook cover. I've just found 4 little notebooks that I'd bought to cover so would appreciate a link back to a good tutorial .
I love it - so bright and cheerful.
That's really nice! I keep meaning to make something like this too.
Very nice!
Thanks ladies, i can definitely see me making more of these :)
