Notebook cover

I stayed up last night finishing this one and it is not perfect, but I absolutely love it! 😀

I am going to have to find a way to close the little pocket I want to keep my usb in. This is a merge of two different tutorials I found, one was the right size for my needs with no pockets, so I found another one with pockets but for a smaller notepad. When I scaled up the pockets they were not tight enough to hold the usb…it comes flying out. I have unpicked this thing so many times there is no way I am doing it again, so I am going to try and track down some ‘Fusion Velcro’ which apparently adheres with heat 🙂

     

 

I love the colours! 🙂

The tutorials I used to make this are:

(this one gave me the pocket system on the left interior)

and another WordPress blogger:

(this one was the right size and also gave directions for the contrast stripe.

I was also quite pleased with myself as neither of these tutes used a snap fastener. It wasn’t an easy task to get the measurements right, but the snap close was my own doing! 🙂
