I had an itchin' to sew something tonight. :) By all means, I made a fabric cover for these little mini composition notebooks. :D I didn't have the fabric I wanted, so I made due with whatever remnants I could find around the house.
It was super easy to make - I'll have to revisit this entry in the future to do a step-by-step tutorial for it when I find the time. :)
This one was just done off the top of my head and so the stitching was a little bit off. I think I'll try and add an elastic band to it on the next try. :D Or like a button or velcro closure or something. The measurements I used made it fairly snug, which I like. I just didn't like the fabric used (it's a little stretchy) and so this will not be carried in pocket (I'm sure I'll get irritated). If it's not too thick, I think I'll try using the duck canvas for the next one. :)
The notebook on the left (green) is how it looks after nearly 3 months of carry (front pocket, mostly) and having gotten wet while helping in Jersey with the Hurricane Sandy relief.
