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
