Journal cover, originally uploaded by chick chick sewing.
Patchwork journal cover made based on the tutorial from the Quilts & Gifts magazine Spring 2008 issue. I added some original features like the fabric covered button and strings to wrap around the journal cover.
The journal cover is made to snugly fit the 7 1/2 x 9 3/4 composition notebook. Like this one that I got from the local Staples store ($1/notebook).

When opened, it looks like this with the notebook inside.

I like the finished product, however, the width of the journal cover was a bit too small for the notebook... Can you see the inside flap sticking out from the frontcover?
Next time I make this, I think I will make it about an inch wider... Yes, a trial and error is the key to success in sewing, just like anything else we do in our lives...!!
