Another one...


This is one of my test covered journals.  I made it with some fabulous fabric from my friend Cynthia's new line for Robert Kaufman called Sewing Studio.  I made this with some scraps Cynthia gave me before my order of yardage arrived.  I love this line.  The colours are lovely, the prints are just so fun!  The rulers made a great binding and I did ask Cynthia what would happen if I cut out all those pattern pieces and sewed them together.  This little covered notebook has a metal zipper.  I just happened to have one from the thrift store that was a fine gauge and was just the right length for this journal.  

I paired the Sewing Studio with some Robert Kaufman Essex linen.  Snazzy!  Did I mention how many of these little journal covers I have made now?  Lots!





Linking up with Amanda Jean for finish it up Friday!

  1. I've seen zippered journal covers on a couple people's blogs lately, and I like the idea but I haven't seen a tutorial and I was wondering if you knew of one somewhere.

    Regardless, I think that is an awesome fabric choice for a journal cover!

  7. Lovely! And thank you so much for the tutorial - I think I will give it a try. Was it different or more difficult to sew in the metal zipper? Because that one looks really neat! I am enjoying your work tremendously!
