Lately my time has been spent sewing some small items. I've needed to make a few gifts and some canvas bags for DD. This past weekend I made a journal cover for a 13 year old niece.
I made up my own pattern and used one of the composition books that you can buy at an office supply store or at WalMart. I put a divided pocket on the front with a place for a pen on one side. Here's what it looks like opened up.
There are somethings I could do to improve my pattern. I'm planning to make more of them, so I will try the improvements on the next one.
This last photo is of the backside. I chose to have the flap closure fold around to the back and fasten with Velcro. This was fun to make!

I mostly make large quilts, so I love putting aside some days to work on little things. There is so much satisfaction in seeing a finished product quickly sometimes.
The journal cover is very cute, your niece will love it!
I just love your journal cover! That is such a great idea! I'm sure she will love it.

This would make a great quilting journal notebook too! I have that black fabric with the bright circles -- love it!
I love your journal cover! That's a great idea to use a composition book - it's sturdier.
I think your niece is pretty lucky to have you for an aunt. She will be asking you to make one of these for all her friends!
I really like that black fabric.....my kind of stuff!
