My Quilted Planner Cover

Any of you who got the Quilter's Planner, were also emailed a pattern to create a fabric cover for the planners. I had a lot of fun creating mine and am glad I made it as this little guy will be carried often between work and home. Just think, now I can doodle during staff meeting and look like I'm taking "real" notes! 

Here's the cover:

I enjoyed creating my little wonky butterfly and embellishing it with some creative stitching over the New Year's holiday.  I seriously can not remember the last time I put in a zipper, let alone a pocket!

I was beginning to feel like I was back in high school Home Ec class.

But I did it! Wahooo!!

Here's the inside flaps with pockets: 

This pocket will hold all my sticky notes and a few pencils.

Notice the large ric-rak I used to embellish the top of the pocket. Cute!

I really enjoyed all the Winter Sewing I got in during my break from school/teaching this past two weeks. Thanks for stopping by and keeping me motivated with your visits and comments.  The rest of the day will find me wrapping things up around here. You can bet that means scheduling some January projects that I can't wait to share with you...and of course, finishing up the laundry and getting the bills paid. Know i'm truly looking forward to a FABULOUS 2016 together!
