Fabric Covered Mini Notebooks

This was a simple project covering mini composition notebooks with fabric using Heat 'n Bond ULTRA HOLD. A double-sided iron on heat activated adhesion that is permanent. No sewing, no messy glues! Works within seconds! I bought it to make book cloth but saw someone ironing it directly onto fabric then directly onto composition notebooks. I loved the idea!

Placed my Teflon sheet between the cover and pages when I ironed. Didn't want any adhesive sticking to my ironing mat or book pages.

It's a no steam application, quick with great results!

Lined Zippy Pouch

Sewed this simple lined zippy pouch using 10 inch pre-cut layer cake squares of linen blend fabric.

It measures 7 x 8.5 inches. In this photo it conveniently holds a 4 x 6 inch refillable leather ring bound notebook. Would also comfortably fit a mini sketch pad and pens, your phone, small paperback or even your cards and keys. 

You can check out my post on May 7, 2023 for information on how I sewed this simple zippy pouch.

Tilda Fabrics Snap Pouches

I used Tilda cotton fabrics for both the outer part of the pouches and the lining. The finished size of these pouches is 5 x 5.5 inches.

I came across a simple technique on how to sew these flex frame/snap pouches on the‘upacoHM’ YouTube channel. I was inspired to make these pouches after seeing her demonstrate a simple way to sew these little bags. I adjusted my measurements to accommodate the larger metal flex bands that I had that measured 4.72 inches (approx. 12cm).

Japanese Fabric Snap Pouch

Been busy at my sewing machine these days using up all those metal flex bands I have.

For this pouch I used the mid size metal band that I have which is 3.9 inches (10cm).

Used cotton sand dollar print dobby weave Sevenberry Japanese fabric for the lining and another cotton fabric for the outer part of the pouch.

Finished pouch measures approximately 4 x 4.5 inches.

I found an easy to follow tutorial using a simple technique to sew this lined pouch over at 'upacoHM' .
