how-to of the day – fabric covered notebooks

July 14, 2008 by Chloe Findlay-Harder

I love notebooks!  I think I probably have a dozen of them in my studio at any given time.  But, not all notebooks are all that decorative, so what’s a fabric hound to do?

Cover them in beautiful fabric of course :-)

For this project, you’ll need a notebook, scissors, spray basting glue (I use Elmer’s spray glue), a good quality white glue (I like the Ultimate), some light weight batting (I’m using Warm & White for this project) and of course, the fabric you’re using to cover the notebook!

    I’m laughing because I’m wearing a summer dress of that material. I think it will look neat as a book cover too.

  2. Chloe says:

    That’s too funny Karen! I only bought a metre of that print, but I love it :-)

    I love the fabric pattern. Can’t wait to see how it looks as a book cover.

    Sounds like a good gift idea.
