Notebook cover Part 2

This is the Second part to making a notebook cover. To make it simple, and so you know which piece of material I am talking about I have numbered them all.

Both pieces number 2 are the same so it does not matter which one is used when you need them.

3 and 4:
5 and 6:
All four are the same so they are all seven:
First you need to put 3 and 4 together with right sides together. Then sew along the top edge.
Now place two sevens with right sides together.
Sew along three sides. Leave one of the smaller lengths unsewn.

Then pull it the right side out through the gap in the bottom. Do this with the other two pieces of seven.
Place five onto one with right sides facing. Sew along the very right edge.
Then sew 3 and 4 onto 5.

Pin a seven onto the left side of a two. Make sure you leave a gap of 1 cm between the edge of the material and where you're going to sew it.

Then turn seven onto 2 and pin the top and bottom into place. You can just tack it into place or if you want to make sure it stays in place simply sew it.
Sew six onto the edge of two. Sew the other seven onto the other two and then sew it onto six.
Place the front and back together with right sides facing inwards. Make sure you fold one edge down and leave it open.
Pull it through the hole so it is the right way out.
Once you've sewn the hole closed, iron it smooth.

You can then put a book inside the cover.



I hope you enjoyed making this item and that it comes to good use. Please comment on what you think and if you have any ideas of what i should make next.

Note 1: I only realized the heart pattern was in a certain direction when I'd finished. I'd thought it had been in a random pattern. Therefor when you are making yours make sure all the patterns are in one direction.
