Roses are always so romantic,
and when I spied the new Rosey fabrics
by Tanya Whelan, for Free Spirit,
I fell in love with them!
I ordered mine from Quilt Home,
where there is always free US shipping with a $50 minimum order.
{There may have been some stowaways in the box, from other Tanya Whelan lines!}
Then my friend asked me to make a cover
for this notebook,
featuring a botanical print of a rose.
{It's just too pretty to cover up that cover with a cover, right?}
That's when I realized that I could use my own
PDF pattern for the
to fashion a place to store the beautiful journal.
{It was so simple to make...I finished it in about an hour and a half!}
Instead of linen, I just used a coordinating print...
which had somehow jumped into the shopping cart...
from Sunshine Roses, also by Tanya Whelan.
{How did that get in my stash? See above...}
For the interior, I selected another Sunshine Roses
fabric, a pale green damask.
{See my eamylove label? There will soon be a post about those!}
This notebook has a very large spiral,
so it was good to know that my pattern would work
to cover a thicker notebook like this one,
as well as a slim tablet.
I just followed the instructions on my pattern,
and actually allowed an extra 1/2" for the thick spiral.
{It was plenty big in the end!}
The only other modification I made
to the original pattern was to add
a dividing stitch for the front pocket,
for keeping a pretty pen.
The Rosey fabric
was just perfect for a lovely covered button detail.
I'm so pleased with the outcome...
a stylish and sweet cover
for a very pretty journal.
It just invites you to sit down
and record some happy memories.
{There's something very Cath Kidston about that Rosey print. Must be why I love it!}
If you would like to order a pattern
for the Linen Pocket Ereader Cover,
it's available on Craftsy
or from my shop on Etsy, called eamylove.
Come back soon for more romantic rosey projects!
