This beautiful set of fabrics, won in a giveaway, and linen was to be a three ring notebook cover to keep my patterns and any ideas I found on blogs. I first appliqued the butterfly upside down and then cut the linen an eighth of an inch too short to fit the notebook. Opps! Measure twice, cut once. After a bit of adjusting, it happily covers my favorite cookbook, Williams-Sonoma Essentials of Baking. My favorite is the blueberry cheesecake.

ReplyDeleteI love this and I want to do it with all my 3-ring binders. Did you make up the pattern? Care to share? It's really so wonderful. :)
ReplyDeleteAlmost forgot.
ReplyDeleteI used Park City Girl's tutorial on Bible covers and modified it to fit a larger notebook.
I will try this again and share the measurements for the 3-ring someday soon.
