Let's Sew a Composition Notebook Cover with a Hidden Closure by Rosie & David Patterns

[@SimplyAnnieB]

Oh wow, my husband asked me the other day to make a cover for his Bible. Your video was on time. Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing.

[@RosiesArtStudio]

I am glad you like the tutorial. Thanks for watching!

[@NanoSewing]

I was just thinking of making one for my Bible as I am looking at it.

[@jinna0512]

I need one for my Bible too! Thanks!!!

They are fun to make and sew up quickly. Thanks for watching!

[@RosiesArtStudio]

Thank you and thanks for watching!

[@gailthecrafter]

I know the close ups are great.

[@sharontuch3405]

Not only do I like the pattern but the fabrics as well! And yes, I do have. You almost lost me sf hand stitching but as you explained it can’t be seen, sew I will try this! Thanks much

[@RosiesArtStudio]

The hand stitching really is not hard. Thanks for watching!

[@sharontuch3405]

Thank you so much, Rosie. I am definitely going to make up a few of these. The closing reminds me of the clutch wallet. I have made several of those.

[@RosiesArtStudio]

I am glad to hear you are going to make the project. Please post pics in the group when you do. Yes, the closure is the same technique as the clutch. Thanks for watching!

[@foreverlearningart]

Another brilliant tutorial! I have been holding off on watching this one until I finished the minimalist wallet because I knew I'd get side tracked lol! Thank you Rosie!

[@RosiesArtStudio]

I am glad to hear that you want to make the book cover. Thanks for watching!

[@viviandibrell849]

I have made a bunch of these and your instructions are really great. The only things I suggest is sewing the front and back cover to the binding first and then covering the whole thing with one piece of interlining (after you’ve pressed it of course). It makes less bulk. Also, I don’t interline the sleeves or the lining. My covers are easy to turn and press and they look great. I use fabric glue to close the turn opening instead of hand sewing closed. Also, I don’t sew a pen loop on, but I do make a little pen pocket and sew it to the front after bonding the interlining. Everyone comments on the cute little pocket. 🎉

[@InspiredStitching]

A fabulous video with very clear instructions and lots of tips too - thank you! Your way of sewing the closure is brilliant!

[@RosiesArtStudio]

[@RosiesArtStudio]

You are so welcome! Thank you for your kind comment and for watching!

Such a good project. I cannot wait to try it. These would make great gifts. You could have many stashed away for an upcoming birthday etc.

[@RosiesArtStudio]

Great idea! Thanks for watching!

[@graymaquilter9641]

Awesome project, Rosie! That will make a nice Christmas gift. I once had a nifty, new little tiny pair of embroidery scissors, I found them on the floor one day with one handle chewed nearly off! My little shadow chihuahua had found them. Lastly, I got a new rotary cutter last week and wore a bandaid on my left middle fingertip all week.. 🙃 Thanks for another awesome pattern, I love the fabric! Jonee

[@RosiesArtStudio]

These dogs get themselves into a lot of trouble, but I could never live without them…lol. Thanks for watching!

[@klemmie]

Thanks, Rosie! Another great project and incredible tutorial! I'm a new self-taught sewist (your videos are a tremendous help!!!). I've been avoiding blind stitches but this tutorial has given me the confidence to give it a try!

[@RosiesArtStudio]

I am glad you like the project. You will do fine with the hand stitching. Thanks for watching!

I've done two like this now, and I've looked at other videos of the same project, with different twists and spins, but I come back to yours because it is calm and I can follow it without getting turned around. Thank you for that!!!

[@LaurieKlinkhammer]

Rosie, the hidden turning opening is fabulous! The rest of the pattern is too but that hidden opening!!!

[@RainorShine1]

Shut the front door wonderful. Wow. Now I need to figure out how to do my planner haha I think I can figure it out by this video. Girl your videos are so great

Made one today, but with interfacing on each piece it made it kinda bulky at the seems, had to trim the cover a little to fit it in, but it is super cute and I’ll be making more! Thank you!

[@janeduggan651]

Very nicely done. Wonderful presentation. When hand stitching the closure, can you use a 1/4” hem tape, place it in the opening and press it firmly. It should turn and remain secure. Best wishes.

[@BR54niner]

Ms Rosie, could you possible add to your tutorial lists a Bible case with zipper.? 😬☺️

[@RosiesArtStudio]

I will think about it. The issue is that Bibles come in all different sizes, so I would have to think about coming up with a standard size. Thanks for watching!

[@Brandi62]

i think I missed something. Why did you leave the two corners unstitched on the first side? I rewatched it and I see where it gets closed up on the ends now. I will have to make some of these!

[@RosiesArtStudio]

I am glad it became clear. It is a great technique. Thanks for watching!

[@charomoreno27]

Hola, saludos desde España

[@RainorShine1]

A thought I would make a fabric pen holder pouch maybe with a button and slide on the elastic before u sew it in so u would have a pen holder pouch on the elastic band so you know you always have a pen and not worry about Fallin out of the loop lol

[@digging4roots]

Over the years, I've made quite a few covers. I have one suggestion so you don't need to leave a seam open or turn it through. Lay the outer cover on the table, face up, followed by the sleeves on each side, and then the inside lining right sides down. Make the inside lining LESS than the length of the body of the cover as it does not need to be caught in the seams and it will lay underneath the sleeves where the edges can not be seen. Sometimes I serge the edges of the inside lining that is under the sleeves. Then sew all the way around. Then just turn it right side out through the gap left behind the sleeve.

[@conniehalstead5469]

If you please, I am trying to visualize this...do you have a video of these steps? I am going to make one from the directions above, but always willing to learn!

[@charomoreno27]

Mi pregunta es... Lavas las telas antes de coser?? Al ser de algodón puede encoger??

[@laurielous.3580]

Where did you get the hot pink elastic? All I can find locally is hohum white.

[@laurielous.3580]

I will answer this in case anyone else cannot find it. I ordered it from Missouri Star.

[@AnnieFinegan]

Could this be made with vinyl?
