Fabric covered notebook Tutorial







Start with your fabric A, fold it double and iron your H630 in between. It sticks on both sides.


Sew close to the fold on both pieces of fabric
















Just like that.





 Sew both pieces B on the sides of piece C. If you want to enclose your label, do it now. Iron your seam open.

















Sew along both sides of the seam.

















Iron the normal vlieseline on the back of joined pieces B and C.


Place piece B/C with the right side up. Sew your ribbon on the side that will be on the back of your notebook. Be sure to stay within in reach of the seam allowance.  Then place both pieces A with the seam on the inside on top op piece B/C.

Place piece I, your lining fabric, with the wrong side up on the rest of your fabric. Sew 0.5 cm from the edge and leave a small opening on one side. (Be sure to do it way more neat than the line I draw with my mouse) Pull the inside out and ladder stitch the opening. (This is another piece of fabric than I used in the end. I forgot to take a picture of that one...)

That's what it looks like when you've turned it inside out.
Sew your button on et voila!
