To keep things interesting in my sewing room, unlike anyone else, I go from project to project, not always with a finish in-between. Today I got a finish. WooHoo! Yesterday, I also finished something, but that doesn't count because I have to scrap it!
I need some more notebooks for my Etsy shop and to sell at shows. So yesterday morning, I made this one. Last night, I tossed it! I made it too short. I should really write down the dimensions. It would make things go so much faster. DAHHHHHH!
See how the cover is too short.
This morning, I started another.
I got out my mothers old button tin. Notice the garter clip. I said "old" tin!
I auditioned a few possibilities, and settled on one combination of black and yellow.
This time I got it right!

Fantastic pattern, Mary! There must be a short notebook out there to fit the first cover! I love the fabric combinations and also the buttons. Oh...and I'm afraid I actually remember using those garter clips before pantyhose came along - eek!
Cheers!
I hope you didn't really "toss it", even short it is cute...advertise it as a Kindle holder.
p.s. I picked the black and yellow even before I read what you chose...be both have excellent tastes.
