A flap to close. Oh I like that I have to try that.. I have been covering my composition books for many years. They are so fun to use. They make great gifts. They are a great place for longarmers to try new patterns. They are fun in just a piece of beautiful fabric. Thanks for some new ideas.
I’m glad you like it! I have found that o really need to sew that button closure with extra thread due to the use ☺️ Jr it’s so worth it to keep everything contained. Would love to see your creations! And yes, it’s a great place for longarmers to practice! I never let a practice fabric go with out being used for something!
@@TheQuiltRambler The e-mail could not allow me to answer you so I couldn't send a photo of some of mine. For gifts I love to frame a family photo such as grandchildren or fussy cut a fabric that shows a hobby of theirs to make it very personal. They are so great to try any new technique to find out if you like it. Thanks for the tip about making the flap strong.
Stumbled on this by accident and I am so glad I did. Your instructions are very clear and easy to follow. Such a great idea for a gift. Thank you so much.
I’m so glad you did. They are fun to make - a gift that is practical, personal, and creatively beautiful. Check out my website under the tutorial section - you might stumble upon something else you like 😏
Thanks Karen, I love this pattern. I made several a couple of years ago as Christmas presents, and have regretted ever since not making one for myself. This year I plan to make 2, one to cover my happy planner and another to cover my new rocketbook. The zippered pouch is what sold me, and I love how easy it is to adjust the sizes to match my notebook.
I am so glad that you are a “repeat sewer” 😊 warms my heart to know that I have helped you spread joy in your gift giving! And now it’s time to share again as well as make one for yourself!! I think it’s about time I made a new one too for my Happy Planner! Thanks for the idea!
What a great tutorial. I am starting in January and making several for xmas 2019.... I always wait to long and this is something so many people can use... Glad you are doing away with music. As said below, you speak so great, no music needed. I look forward to other videos from you.... Thanks for sharing. I always appreciate that.
I made a set of Christmas pillowcases in January one year. No stress over a deadline.I was ill for several weeks later that year and was delighted to have that gift made already.
Thank you @frenchstamper. I agree the music is distracting. We were covering up the Air conditioning noise and have since made sure to turn it off when filming. Concerning other sizes - just lay your item out that you want to cover give yourself several inches all around then add 5" for the pocket or the size that will wrap around and give you a large enough size. Cut this out of scrap fabric and do a test wrap then adjust as necessary
I'm so glad you found the tutorial - it's a perfect Christmas gift! Please send me a photo when it is complete and I will repost it on social media! Enjoy!
would love to know how to calculate how to do this on a different size notebook. I am in europe and we con't have the same sizes. Your voice is nice so you really don't need the music in the background, it is quite distracting. Thanks for your tutorial.
Karen I just made the outside fabric part of the cover today. When I quilt it what am I quilting on besides the outside fabric? Is it the batting? Thanks!
Yes, I layer the pieced top, batting, with a fabric that will not show later - so use up a scrap, muslin, or “ugly fabric” and save the “pretty” fabric for the unquilted lining!
Hi,Where did you buy that "light attachment" that you have on your sewing machine?(I,"need" one of those "light lamp attachments for my sewing machine.)Thanks alot for your fabric book cover tutorial.
It’s been so long ago that I don’t remember - I generally pick up new gadgets like that at the Houston International Quilt Show - so check with your local quilt shop to see if they carry something similar or can order one for you. Having an extra light is always a good thing. Glad you enjoyed the tutorial!
Absolutely- I was using a ribbon that didn’t need to be hemmed. Sometimes you can use pinking shears to help with fraying also. But hemming would most certainly be an option! I hope you enjoy making this!
I am enjoying this lesson, I am looking for simple projects to start creating Christmas and Birthday gifts for my friends and family and I think this will work GREAT! But I would really like to know who makes your light bar and where I can purchase it. I have purchased many to use but none of them ever light the area I need completely, this one looks like it would work great for me.
Mary Smeltzer - it is made by the Daylight Company and I highly recommend it! Please share your creations when you are finished! You can contact me across social media or my email is on the website TheQuiltRambler.com. Thanks for stopping by!
Not hard at all - check out this blog post for a photo of another cover that has a strap on it. thequiltrambler.com/needle_paper_scissors_zippers/10/31/2018/
Things change through the years. The pattern is still available- on the website click on the digital PDF tab and you will find it there. thequiltrambler.com/digital-pdf/
Absolutely- just do your own measurements of the item and adjust accordingly. A friend of mine used it for a very large, thick Bible and it came out beautifully!
Susie Hairston The lighting I use in my studio is from The Daylight Company. I have purchased mine at the Houston International Quilt Festival - ask your local quilt shop if they can special order one for you from their suppliers. I own several and highly recommend! Thanks for watching my tutorial!
Susie Hairston I have the clamp style at my sewing table and have multiple floor models (8 or more) that I use in my Land Locked Quilting Cruise classroom - they may be seen on my website in photos, I think, or any of the blog posts about these events. You can use the contact us form to email me if you are unable to find a supplier - I don’t normally sell them in my classroom but have made special orders for a student or two. Email me through the website if you want more info 🦋
The Quilt Rambler , I am sewing my first one, I am almost done, I had to undo the zipper, it's not as pretty as yours are, but it's the first one of many to come. Lol Thank you for your video, I have watched it at least 6 x's.
I see Ewe - a little unsewing happens to the best of us - the good news is you won’t make that mistake twice! Be encouraged - each time I made one of the covers I got a little better, made the pocket bigger or other things. They do make great gifts! Email me photos and I will feature them on my blog in a future post!

Where did you get your zipper? I have searched Joanns ...Walmarts....online ...China...everywhere....and nobody seems to sell zippers with those kind of pulls on them. Now I did find where I could buy the zipper head only that looks just like the one you have....but they were from China and they were very cheaply made...and of course no zipper tape to go with. I need to find a good zipper connection...and one that's fairly priced. I hate when people over price their zippers.
Glad you enjoyed it. This was my first tutorial and lesson learned about the music, changed going forward, but you can’t go back and take it out - it is what it is
I am uncertain how to do that at this time, however, the blog post referenced in the description does have the ability to be translated so I hope that will be of help. Thank you for watching!
Can't wait to make these as a Xmas gift for my daughter in medical school. Thank you for these instructions and pdf.

Great tutorial! Going to make some and use a mesh fabric rather than the vinyl to see if that works for pocket.

I would like to know how you elongated your pineapple block to be in a rectangular shape ... it's an intriguing layout.
It’s been awhile since I made that - basically just cut each strip a little longer and trim off as you go around 🤷🏻♀️ glad you liked it
WOW! I know that gal!
A super great video Karen! I'm now subscribed to you you tube site.
New subbie! Just what I needed👍🏽

Thank you. It is a great design and your fabrics are lovely. I never saw this design before. I like smaller projects like this.

Where did your beautiful stilleto come from?
It is from ByAnnie.com
One of the best tools I have in the studio @patternsbyAnnie
can you use this same method for a book or journal
Absolutely- just do your own measurements of the item and adjust accordingly. A friend of mine used it for a very large, thick Bible and it came out beautifully!

what size zipper did you get a 5 or 3 size?
I use zipper from By Annie - they are considered purse zippers, I’m afraid I don’t know the equivalent “size”
Oh and I love this video :)
A LANE-BRAIN the zippers are from ByAnnie.com. They come in a beautiful selection of colors and the zipper pulls are interchangeable!
