this is a little tutorial on how to make fabric covers for books or notebooks. i made some for my scriptures and they are super cute. enjoy.
measure height of book this is measurement “A”
measure width of book this is measurement “B”
step 2
cut fabric
height= A + 1 3/4”
width = C+B+1 3/4”
step 3
fold top and bottom of fabric under 1/4” and again 1/2”. topstitch.
step 4
fold both the right and left sides under 1/2 of measurement B and pin into place. this is making the side flaps that your book covers will slip into. stitch 1/16” from the edge on the top and bottom of each side flap.
all done
I just made a very similar cover for my daughter's daytimer planner. I added a fabric covered elastic to hold it together. I sewed the ends of the elastic piece to the center of the spine area and covered with a bit of fabric so it would look neat. Also added a layer of cotton batting (the really thin stuff) as the daytimer's covers aren't very stiff. Love your fabric choice on the photo.
