Zakka Memo Book Cover Tutorial by CancunCOOKIES

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

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!

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.

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
