The April project for the Across the Pond Sew-along is to make a notebook cover/holder. This month's project was chosen by Susie from
susiessunroom. She has included links to several tutorials, and shows her own lovely version of the project.
I had made a sewing journal cover several months ago (see
here), so decided this time to make a smaller version to fit a 6 x 4 spiral notebook. Pinterest comes in handy when it comes to finding patterns, and I came across this
tutorial for a shopping list holder. Here is my version...
 |
| I found this beautiful line of fabric at an antique mall in a little sewing booth. It's not an antique, and the price was right! |
 |
| My project this morning... |
 |
| ...and this afternoon! I had to put just a touch of Zakka with the running stitch. Opps...the button should be centered. I don't know how I missed that during the process. We'll just call it my own tweak to the design. :) |
 |
| The center has two pockets and a pencil holder. The triangular pocket could hold small notes or cards. |
 |
| The back |
 |
| Composition size on the left -- 6 x 4 notebook size on the right. |
I'll be posting my pictures on the Across the Pond Sew-along
flickr page.
