Hello friends! Today I am going to share a Zakka Memo Book Cover Tutorial I've been working on. Hope you all enjoy!
Supplies
Linen:
1 rectangle 11 1/2" x 3 3/4", for the cover
2 rectangles 4 1/2" x 3 3/4", for pockets
Print Fabric:
1 rectangle 11 1/2" x 3 3/4", for lining
2 rectangles 3 3/4" x 1", for pocket binding
2 squares 2" x 2", for pen holder
Lightweight fusible interfacing:
1 rectangle 11 1/2" x 3 3/4
1 3" x 5" pocket memo book
1 pen, marker or pencil (I used a mini gel pen)
Instructions:
Consider 1/4" seam allowances, unless otherwise specified
For design and embelishment purposes, the right side of the project will be the back
- Fuse fusible interfacing onto the wrong side of the lining fabric
- Fold the pen holder squares in half, wrong sides together, press. Bring both edges to the center, fold and press. Topstitch 1/8" from edge. Set aside
- Fold the pocket binding in half, wrong sides together, press. Align to the back of the pocket, pin and sew using a 1/8¨seam allowance .
- Bring to the front, press and hand stitch or topstitch to the back. See the little linen border on top of the binding? Love it!
- Lay pockets onto either side of the lining, right sides up. Pin
- Using a chalk marker or fabric pen, make two marks, left to right, at 2 3/4" and 7 3/4". Fold the pen holders in half and pin position to the right of the marks.
- Machine baste 1/8" from the edge
- Lay cover on top, right sides together. Remember that the back of the project to the right, pin. Using a chalk marker or fabric pen, mark a 2 or 2 1/2" space on the right side (back of the cover). This will be the gap for turning the cover
- Machine stitch all layers together, starting at one of the marks and ending on the other
- Clip corners and turn right side out. Gently poke corners. Finger press the opening and edge stitch to close
- Embelish the cover (optional). You can also embelish prior to sewing it all together.
- Press
- Insert memo book and pen... ta da!
