Thank you so much for the tutorial I wanted to add a little video of what I created because your amazing pattern was a launching pad for me to get creative. I hope to share some things I added… I will look for your website/blog to see if I can upload a video with some Ideas to include with the fabric cover! Thank you so so much I love your excellence!!!
I had given up the idea of covering composition notebooks until I found this video! Simple, no fuss, easy to follow instructions that gets the job done! Thank you.
Loved this tutorial! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Made a cover for an elderly relative so they can write down important info (early-onset dementia). Embroidered it with their name & added a small “loop” to hold a pen. They loved it!! Thank you!@
Made 2 of these so far, Thanks to your tutorial👍 I only used 2 layers. Backing and main, plus the inner pockets. I just used thicker fabric. All 100% Cotton. I'm thinking of making more for Christmas. Thank you!
I just made me a cover…however, I had to rip my stitches off because my notebook didn’t fit inside. I just ended up sewing the opening shut. Love my new cover and I want to make more 😊 Thanks, Angie for a wonderful tutorial. ❤
Hi, just discovered this tutorial. So easy to follow, thank you. Can I ask, if I want to make for different size books roughly how much extra fabric do I need to allow for seams and thickness of books? Only new to this type of thing so not quite sure how to calculate the amount of fabric I need. Many thanks 😊
l really like your teaching style 😊 please, what size is your composition notebook? l made one but it was too sloppy. Took it apart and made smaller but now not as smooth. What is your trick to closing the opening and not getting a pucker? Thanks so much!!
Hi Sheryl, here's the one I use: amzn.to/38pIpPp I will admit that it took me making three of four of them before I got the hang of it. The composition books can vary by 1/8" and that can make it super challenging.
Oh I love this! Where did you get that shabby chic fancy?!!! I need some. These will make lovely Christmas gifts. Blessings, Laurie from New Hampshire.
I am a nooby to sewing and so you all will think this is a silly question but how do you get pockets on inside? Do they just flip inside out and go in to center? I'm so sorry I am just confused about that step. Your cover is beautiful and I would like to try this out and thank you so much for the printable instructions. Tfs :)
Louise, it's hard to explain it by typing ... but if you watch the video where I explain how to layer them before you sew it... it works out perfectly. The sandwiching of the fabric is the trick to getting it to work.
@@chicnscratch I watched video and read the pdf but like I said I am new to it so I will just have to give it a try and hope it turns out as beautiful as yours or at least close to it. I love your cover and I know my daughter would love to have one. Thank you for replying. Hope you have a wonderful Easter!

i was off width wise (cover to cover) so i just trimmed a bit of the front n back cover of the notebook itself off and it fit perfectly

if you still get messages what is the name of your seam guide cause it looks like it would work better then a seam guide on a foot, thanks
It's called the Ideal Seam Guide and here's the link to the 10 inch - amzn.to/45wqrmd
