Composition Book Covers

I have five good girl friends that I have gotten really close to during law school and I wanted to get them a little something as a graduation gift.  I was looking through my favorites and came across this link and thought it would be perfect.  We are about to start bar prep and I figured that if we had to study then at least they needed something cute to take notes on.  Her tutorial is easy to follow and unless you are the world’s slowest sewer aka me, then they don’t take much time at all.  I used duck cloth.  Make sure you get the double fold bias tape or it won’t work.  Also don’t get the quilting bias tape unless you cut the fabric bigger than she tells you to.

I used extra bias tape to make rosettes to go on the front.  I love love love the fabric!

  1. They turned out really cute. What a great gift idea. The rosettes really give it a punch of color!
