How to Cover a Composition Notebook with Fabric

[@donnakimball3822]

You did a very good job on your tutorial. Your fabric is beautiful.

[@chicnscratch]

Thank you!!

[@NellySosa-md4dn]

I watched a few videos on making Composition Notebook covers, but they left me confused. You gave clear, precise instructions. Now I am confident I can tackle making some for myself. Thank you!

[@diane2941]

I had given up the idea of covering composition notebooks until I found this video! Simple, no fuss, easy to follow instructions that gets the job done! Thank you.

[@chicnscratch]

You are so welcome!

[@jenniferharlan8541]

Thank you for sharing the great video. You explain and demonstrate how to sandwich the fabric so well.

[@beckiweaver4055]

OMGOSH what a great way to use leftover pieces. I can see a little quilt pattern for this too. Thanks so much for sharing

[@christinasmith9016]

Thank you so much for the tutorial I wanted to add a little video of what I created because your amazing pattern was a launching pad for me to get creative. I hope to share some things I added… I will look for your website/blog to see if I can upload a video with some Ideas to include with the fabric cover! Thank you so so much I love your excellence!!!

Awesome tutorial! I love covering the composition in fabric so I can just change to a new book when needed. Thank you for sharing!!

[@moniquesmith7189]

Loved this tutorial! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Made a cover for an elderly relative so they can write down important info (early-onset dementia). Embroidered it with their name & added a small “loop” to hold a pen. They loved it!! Thank you!@

[@chicnscratch]

That is awesome!

[@Denise-cq6lk]

This is such a great tutorial. So inspired that I made 3 as Christmas gifts. You did an awesome job. :)

[@gaingaran81]

I really love this. How do you add a pen loop for this.

[@charlenemcgill2961]

Super Cute and a good use of scrap fabric if need be.

[@kayjones9757]

This is such a lovely project and will make great gifts to keep. Thank you for sharing Angie.

I'm still using this pattern March 2022. This is the best fabric covered tutorial out there.

[@chicnscratch]

thank you!!

[@bonniedeibel1546]

Pretty fabric! Thanks for the tutorial !

[@1228Rhonda]

Terrific tutorial, your voice is very enjoyable

[@TheCreativeChica]

Angie! So cute! Thank you for the tutorial👍I'm making a few...one for myself and for Gifts.

[@joeast8223]

Hi, just discovered this tutorial. So easy to follow, thank you. Can I ask, if I want to make for different size books roughly how much extra fabric do I need to allow for seams and thickness of books? Only new to this type of thing so not quite sure how to calculate the amount of fabric I need. Many thanks 😊

[@caroldubois6183]

Very nice way of doing this and my favorite part...it is neat. Thank you.

[@NoGrinchHere]

I love journals. This is cute project!

[@annacarducci9731]

Very nice. Easy to understand. Thanks.

[@lucygardner2514]

Tfs, never thought to use fabric. I love this.

[@chicnscratch]

[@chicnscratch]

You're very welcome!

[@100and1dalmations]

so cute thanks! I added some cute machine embroidery and a pen or pencil holder on the binding.

[@chicnscratch]

great idea!!

[@TheCreativeChica]

Made 2 of these so far, Thanks to your tutorial👍 I only used 2 layers. Backing and main, plus the inner pockets. I just used thicker fabric. All 100% Cotton. I'm thinking of making more for Christmas. Thank you!

[@chicnscratch]

You're very welcome!!

[@carolshafer4271]

I love this! Haven’t sewn in so long because I don’t have a machine anymore that works!

[@TheCreativeChica]

Thank you for sharing this cover. It is so lovely!

[@chrisbennett1592]

Perfect thank you so much 👏👏👏👏❤️love it.

[@chicnscratch]

You're welcome!

[@gettysburgmaam8437]

i was off width wise (cover to cover) so i just trimmed a bit of the front n back cover of the notebook itself off and it fit perfectly

[@ca6177]

Thanks, I liked this tutorial! I'll be making some for my grandsons!

[@chicnscratch]

Have fun!!

[@lorrainemurphy2258]

Nice tutorial! I have done those in the 11X16.5, two pocket insert 11X9, and I did a front pocket with an area to insert your pencil, or calculator.

[@chicnscratch]

That's a great idea!

[@lesliewatkins5241]

Love love loved this!! Can I get the pdf please?

Sure, here ya go... chicnscratch.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/How-to-Cover-a-Composition-Notebook-with-Fabric-1.pdf

[@DallyKones1234]

l really like your teaching style 😊 please, what size is your composition notebook? l made one but it was too sloppy. Took it apart and made smaller but now not as smooth. What is your trick to closing the opening and not getting a pucker? Thanks so much!!

[@chicnscratch]

Hi Sheryl, here's the one I use: amzn.to/38pIpPp I will admit that it took me making three of four of them before I got the hang of it. The composition books can vary by 1/8" and that can make it super challenging.

[@catkoe9321]

Love it! Thank you so much!

[@shannonfinn4316]

Best cover tutorial I have seen. I am a quilter and I would love to know where you got your Ideal Seam?

[@chicnscratch]

Thanks Shannon! You can get the Ideal Seam on Amazon, here's the link: www.amazon.com/dp/B00OA8DYDI/?ref=exp_chicnscratch_dp_vv_d

[@chicnscratch]

@@shannonfinn4316 thank you!!

[@beansbug]

I just made me a cover…however, I had to rip my stitches off because my notebook didn’t fit inside. I just ended up sewing the opening shut. Love my new cover and I want to make more 😊 Thanks, Angie for a wonderful tutorial. ❤

[@chicnscratch]

You're very welcome!!

[@itsallaboutHim777]

Oh I love this! Where did you get that shabby chic fancy?!!! I need some. These will make lovely Christmas gifts. Blessings, Laurie from New Hampshire.

[@chicnscratch]

The fabric is called Lulu Roses by Tanya Whelan. I've had it for a few years. Thanks Laurie!

[@sherrysawyer1255]

I love this! TFS!

[@lindadenton7431]

if you still get messages what is the name of your seam guide cause it looks like it would work better then a seam guide on a foot, thanks

[@chicnscratch]

It's called the Ideal Seam Guide and here's the link to the 10 inch - amzn.to/45wqrmd

Thank you!!! Very nice.

[@suchatimeasthis1958]

I am a nooby to sewing and so you all will think this is a silly question but how do you get pockets on inside? Do they just flip inside out and go in to center? I'm so sorry I am just confused about that step. Your cover is beautiful and I would like to try this out and thank you so much for the printable instructions. Tfs :)

[@chicnscratch]

Louise, it's hard to explain it by typing ... but if you watch the video where I explain how to layer them before you sew it... it works out perfectly. The sandwiching of the fabric is the trick to getting it to work.

[@suchatimeasthis1958]

@@chicnscratch I watched video and read the pdf but like I said I am new to it so I will just have to give it a try and hope it turns out as beautiful as yours or at least close to it. I love your cover and I know my daughter would love to have one. Thank you for replying. Hope you have a wonderful Easter!
