Dee (making her to do list L O N G E R !!!)

Hey Dee, thanks for sharing that pattern. I don't need it now, but when my grandkids reach school age it will get used!

I like the stretchy one! (no1 in the list) Looks very practical for text books and bright colours would be easy to find.

I usually do a method close to the 3rd one, but I tend to make the cover quite a tight fit to stretch over a hard back - diary or notebook.

I've also used waste canvas to cross-stitch a design on the front and just the other week cheated and used some bondaweb to stick a fabric patch on the front of a notebook cover. (I say cheated because patchwork isn't my thing!)

They do look very effective. I like the idea of the standard Paperback size cover - save people being nosy if you are reading on the train!
