Look what I got in the mail

Look !! Look!!...what I got in the mail today
I bought this from Etsy . I love all the cuteness in the book, I even tried making one pouch

 and diary cover for my self

I just can't wait to try one of the patterns, but meanwhile, let me finish my maple first *wink wink*

A slightly wonky journal cover

I've seen Ros of Bloom and blossom's Tutorial about journal cover the other day, so I decided to make one today. I have this journal from one of my DH's client..as usual, it has a rather unattractive cover. I've been meaning to make one for along time until I found such a great & clear tutorial. Then why wonky? The journal original cover was made of card board. I should have  anticipated that cardboard is thicker and stiffer. So just to fit it into the cover, I had to cut the side of the original cover a bit..LOL




I used Cotton Khadi (it has a linen finish look...I love it) for the plain one and pure cotton for the orange one.

a bit wonky :-S

and at the back I put my own handmade fabric label. I have the Tutorial HERE.

***EDITED***

I went through Bloom's Tutorial again and I guess I should not stitch the edge. So again I made for my bigger journal which has spiral binding and here's the result:

Fabric: Red Casement
Decoration: Assamese Traditional Saree Ribbon

 

 

With polkadots inside ;)

 

Thanks for stopping by..happy crafting
