All New Crafted Fabric Book Covers for Composition Notebooks





It was a maddeningly quiet month of March on this blog.

In fact, so quiet that I did not post anything.

Why?

Well, I had  a bout with composition notebook crafting MADNESS!

I made lots and lots and lots and (well, you get the drift) of composition notebook covers.

It was a madness that I had to find a cure for!  

I just about emptied my fabric box.  
OK, I do have about a jillion different fabrics, because I haven't met a fabric I didn't like-LOL!  

So for your enjoyment take a Mad March through this post to look at the fabric covers starting....

on this NOTE- Musical Note that is 
Go for the gold with this cover that has sparkly instruments, keyboards and of course musical notes.  The top and bottom are bordered with gold metallic ribbon. And it has a black musical note shaped plastic button. 


On a different note, here's a variation on the musical theme.  This cover has black notes on white, with a colorful ribbon of notes on the top and bottom.  And it has a gold musical note shaped plastic button.


I've just looked out my window and it's raining cats and dogs.  Well, it is April you know.  So this cover below is just in time for April showers.  This cover has dogs and cats dressed for April showers in rain gear.  The top and bottom has yellow dotted ribbon, the button is a sparkly dog.  I know that this colorful cover is NOT all wet!

 
Dog gone it.  There are more dog covers coming up er down below.
Panels of your favorite pooch on green with a dog button, makes it  a bow-wow wonderful cover.


Love dogs?  Then you'll love this cover with lots of dogs.  Find your favorite.  The top and bottom have brown and blue ribbons and the button is one of the dogs on the cover.  See if you can spot which one it matches.

Here's a dog that will come instantly when you have a scooby snatch.  This book cover is not a licensed Scooby-Do item, it is handcrafted with care from licensed Scooby-Do fabric.  I am not affiliated with Scooby-Do. The top and bottom of the cover has metallic blue ribbons. Pix of the Do with pawprints on green fabric, with a blue button.
 


Had enough of dogs?  How about checking out these cool cats on this cover?  They are  topped and bottomed with patches of ribbons that  look like wild animal fur.  It is really wild. The button is a cute cat face.




If you are a mouse, you might be a little bit wary of the above cats.  Luckily, the mice on the cover below don't have this problem, because they're computer mice!  This cover has pinks, blue, and gray computer mice on a lime green background with a metallic ribbon on top and bottom and a sparkly button.


 Some say that all this talk of cats, dogs and mice is really for the birds.  So they will probably wisely pick this next cover because  of the owl theme.  Colorful green, brown, and blue owls are on a blue background.  An orange metallic ribbon tops the cover and a blue, brown and orange striped ribbon is on the bottom.  The cover ties up with the same striped ribbon.
 


With all of the winds of March past us, I see some warmer days ahead and  maybe I'll take a trip to the seaside.  And this cover would be the perfect one . Dolphins on blue with blue metallic trim ribbon on the top and bottom, and a sparkly button is really worth sea -ing.





At the seashore, you just might be adventuresome and take the first dip of the season.  Go for it and dive under. If you are lucky you might see something unusual under the water, like the things on this cover below.    See sandcastles and a waterdog pal with fishes.  The cover has aqua blue trim on  the top and bottom, and a sparkly button.

After your dip, things are getting a little wild on this shore.  But you can handle it.  Step back and enjoy the wild creatures on the covers below, as you take in some rays. Pandas, wolves, bears, and dangerous butterflies?  LOL. All covers are trimmed in matching metallic ribbonsAnd check out the button on the panda cover.






On the shore you may just make a few friends.  These "friends" will take you on a pirate-y adventure for sure.  But don't worry, you'll be back before bedtime.  And that's a fact, Jack!!

This book cover is not a licensed Pirates of the Caribbean, Disney  item, it is handcrafted with care from licensed Disney Pirates of the Caribbean fabric.  I am not affiliated with Disney or it's Pirates of the Caribbean movie.  Capt Jack, stands amid skulls and crossbones  and pirate ships. The top has ribbon with discs that look like pieces of gold (every pirates dream!).  
 
  
Let's face it,  it's good to dream and reach for the stars using your imagination .  This  next cover, covers a galaxy of sun and stars and you never even have to leave the house!

 Silver metallic moons, stars and suns embroidered ribbon tops this cover.  The cheerful richly colored sun faces appear on a dark blue background with bright outlines.  The bottom has a silver metallic ribbon.   And it has a  round gold colored button with a blue center.  
 


While you're on a trek through the galaxy, you can spot 2 space themed old friends that can star on your composition book - StarTrek or  StarWars. These bookcovers are not licensed StarTek or StarWars items, they are  handcrafted with care from licensed StarTrek and StarWars fabric.  I am not affiliated with StarTrek or StarWars.   The fabric speaks for itself with a galaxy of adventures.




Getting tired from the long march of book covers?  Good news, you are almost done!  In fact this is more than halfway through the selection.

Spring is here and that means many of us are outside playing our favorite sports.  The below covers, just about cover a few sports that I like and maybe some that you like also.   Even if you do not enjoy participating in sports and just looking at them, you may like the look of the below covers.  So take a look at...









The below covers have some of the Chicago sports teams and one Chicago sport team rival. These book covers are not licensed items for the Chicago CUBS, Chicago BEARS, Chicago BULLS and Green Bay Packers.  They are covers handcrafted with care from licensed Chicago BEARS,  Chicago BULLS and Green Bay Packers fabrics.  One cover has licensed Chicago CUBS ribbon on it as the top trim. I am not affiliated with he Chicago CUBS, Chicago BEARS, Chicago BULLS and Green Bay Packers. 




 Hurray!

You made it through THIS round of the fabric composition notebook covers that I made.

THIS Round!!!!???

Yep, this is only round one of making fabric covers.

The second round of sewing madness making fabric bookcovers, will have some items with my own designs.  They will feature magical creatures- dragons, fairies and a unicorn or two-LOL.   So keep checking this blog for these, if you enjoy fabric bookcovers.

For the rest of the month, I'm taking a break from sewing book covers, and  am working on the next project....

Which is...

Cutsy Critters bookmarks, pageholders and Squeeze Ems, all out of yarn and plastic canvas. 

I've got lots of ideas.  

So, now I've got lots of work to do.
