Notebook Cover

I normally have a notebook that I keep with me for notes, to do lists, quotes and scriptures I hear etc.  I wanted to make a cover for it that was a pretty general size so it could work for other notebooks when my current one is full.  I also wanted to add a ribbon bookmark so that I knew where I was.  I choose to use canvas as I would not have to deal with interfacing and it would be heavier than just plain fabric.

I tend to be a lazy sewer sometimes and just sew without patterns or anything else.  I just cut a rough outline of what I am making and hope for the best!  Here are the front and back pieces and then the two pieces for the inside for the notebook to slide into.

I seamed out the two side pockets

Ready to sew together.  I always need to double check to makes sure I have everything sewn the right way as I have (more often than I would like to admit!) messed up and had to take everything apart.  So I double check.

All done!  I know you can find pretty journals but sometimes you just want a notebook cover instead.  :)
