And last fall I made a few covers as well, with hand felt and fabric. Fun!

Now that I have an idea of how it goes together and what worked (I had to sew additional seams to get it tighter and tweak a few times in this first try), I will measure to make a pattern for the next round - so I'll know the final sizes when I do that. In general, I laid the notebook flat on the fabric and gave myself 1" around the outside for seams. The whole piece is lined in the contrasting fabric as well. :)denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07063730445661683331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27387788.post-69412570589452958182008-04-14T21:23:00.000-05:002008-04-14T21:23:00.000-05:00I like it!

That was one of my favorite parts of fall!<BR/><BR/>Did you use a pattern from somewhere or make it up? Maybe I'll try to make something like that for binders for keeping things straight for the classes I'll be teaching next fall... any hints for how much bigger to make the cover so it stays on, but isn't too tight? That's the part that seems tricky to me. For the brown paper covers we always just cut and folded them over the books as we made them - I suppose that could roughly work for fabric too, as long as you account for seam allowances.<BR/><BR/>thanks for sharing,<BR/><BR/>-KWill & Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14001424590161505939noreply@blogger.com
