I've found the joys making notebook covers. Not the kind that requires cords and electricity, the kind with real paper with lines inside. One you don't have to run to find a power source when you what to jot down a note! Am I old, or is this such a novel idea? I prefer to call it going green! Don't argue the whole greenhouse effect from making paper, etc, I know!! But I can still dream!! :-)
These fun little organizers have so many fun pockets some with zippers and even a pen holder in the middle. I've added a clean plastic piece on the front on one of the pockets to drop my business card in too. It's perfect for taking notes at a quilt meeting. Even makes a darn good sketch book too. The pattern is called Daily Doodler and is from This & That Patterns
You will find it under the charms section of patterns. The front is made of charm squares and is a fun way to use up those 5" squares. They have some really cute patterns on their site, I am off to go shopping! :-)
I made one for my GD for Christmas and she loves it. She loves to write and uses it to keep her notes in. I called mine a 'padfolio' and added pockets, too. I made one for myself in the 5 X 7 size and keep it next to my chair for jotting things down as I think of them. Love your colors!
ReplyDeleteVery Cool Joan! I just bought a pad of grid paper to jot down quilt ideas as I have them... Maybe I'll make myself one of these little gems.
