High

Don’t you just love that ‘high’ feeling you get when you just finished something? I sure do. Still high from making the shorts, yesterday I got this finished.

It’s the Note Taker pattern by Kathy of Pink Chalk Studio. I made the small folio, which fits a 5″ x 8″ notepad.

This one didn’t quite take one nap time like the shorts, but still a reasonably quick project. I cut out the fabrics and started some of the sewing a few days ago (choosing the fabrics took a bit longer actually), and then finished off the sewing yesterday, and added the button today.

Some details…

Fabric covered button and a hair tie elastic as closure. Works very well!

Mmm… lace trim…

A scrap of japanese linen tape as pen holder loop.

This one is for me, and I love it!! I have a few more planned as gifts. Great pattern, by the way, easy to follow, and I learned quite a few things while making it too, me muttering to myself, “Ahhh, so that‘s how you do it…” 🙂 I think you can learn a lot from following patterns, you get to see other crafters’ take on how to make things. Thanks for a great pattern, Kathy!
