Cut exterior and interior pieces  12” X 23” each
All seams are ¼ inch unless otherwise noted. 

Cut coordinating 1/3 yard fabric as follows
Middle Strip 10” X 12 inches
End strip 12 X 12  inches

Press Jenny’s Quilt Magic to the back of the Notebook cover.  Place entire piece on top of hoop that has been hooped with Jenny’s Dissolve Magic Sticky.  Place Jenny’s Heat Magic on top and do the basting stitch on your machine.  Embroider design and your name on this piece.  Center your design within the right 7 ½ inches of the Notebook cover.  Place interior fabric to cover, wrong sides together.  Using all the fancy stictches that we never use, and a contrasting thread, beginning with the design, stitch out to the edge of the cover.  I used different stitches, beginning with shorter areas and graduating to the longer edges.  I treated my design as the center and stitched rays away from the design to the edges. 

Starting with the middle strip, fold in half and sew right sides together on the 10 inch side.  Putting the seam in the center back, press Jennys quilt magic (approximately 5” X 12 inches onto the seam side.  Turn right sides out.  Finished seam should be in the back, Top and bottom should still be raw edges and will be hidden with binding.  If you have a machine with letters, put into memory the name of your group, or something significant to the recipient of this notebook cover and sew in all directions, using these word(s) as your quilting.  For Christmas I quilted mine with the words “Circle of Friends” and made one for each of my sewing buddies in the circle.

With the end strip, fold in half and press wrong sides together.  Slip a piece of Jenny’s Quilt magic 6/x12 inches into this pocket and press.  Quilt just as you did the middle strip.

Place middle strip eight inches from front edge and baste top and bottom raw edges to top and bottom of notebook interior.

Baste end strip to front interior on three sides.  Baste pony tail holder using about 2 inches.  Trim excess off .

Sew on binding as you would any quilt binding.  I  fold my 2 ½ inch strip in half and press.  Sew right sides together on outside, flip and hand whip or stitch in ditch from right side, picking up the bottom piece. 

Sew button.  Enjoy
