Ten Fabric Covers for Composition Notebooks

What time is it?
It's Springtime!!
And ,,,,
It's about time to post a few more of my fabric notebook covers.

So Springing right to it, see them below.  Pictures are mostly of the front and inside panel.

 1.   I found some fabric with pictures of Audrey Hepburn from "My Fair Lady" .  I centered a panel on a dotted fabric and put rose ribbon trim on the hat.
This size is for a spiral notebook.


















2. This fabric was so cool with stitching and embroidering. I didn't sew a pocket for the front but used an embroidered design from the fabric instead.

















3. Striking a note with the below.

















4. This one is Marvel-ous

















5, And this one is wonderful


















6, Time of the Dragon 

















7. Who Is Here er below.















8.  I Like Paris in the Springtime.  Hope you do too.

Five New Fabric Bookcovers

A quick post today of some of the stuff I've been sewing.

Fabulous five fabric reusable bookcovers for a standard composition book.

However, these covers are far from standard in quality, as you will see as you scroll through the post.

The pictures are of the cover's outside and the pocket on the inside flap. 

The five are below.

My Embroidered Journals




They say life is a journey.

"They" are right and also write!

I believe that you need to put your adventures out there.

Yeah, write them down and create a lasting moment for yourself, family and friends.

Go Old School and use paper and pen for a change.

 I've tuned up my embroidery machine and stitched up a few journals that will certainly keep your keepsake moments looking good- at least on the outside. 

So  below are some journals that I think may give you a passing grade in your Old School writings.

This journal with the Lovely  Art Nouveau Lady cover design will inspire you for some nouveau writings.



















Don't be lion around - go ahead an pick up that pen and start writing NOW.


Below is a perfect journal to show your  Old School House ideas.  It has a magical and very Old School House motto.  Go Gryffindor! ( This is a handmade, one of a kind item.  I am not affiliated with or represent the Harry Potter Enterprises)




















This Steampunk Alchemy Caduceus themed journal is the best medicine to blow off a little steam after a hard day.  Just pick up that quilled pen and jot down your thoughts.



















Had enough of the write stuff?   Well, if NOT,  below are some more journals.


Let your thoughts flow into this  Under the Seas Mermaid Journal .  An Art Nouveau Mermaid design on the cover will cover your tales.





















This journal with a Ching Chou Summer Fantasy Lady design is perfect for writing down your fantasies.



















It just takes a second or two to write down your thoughts in the below Clockwork Fairy journals.




I hope that you enjoyed viewing my embroidered journals and that you will be inspired to start writing yours today.
