Agree! My kids see a Bible cover first year at high school. So love this design! Can work for any note book or any book of importance.

Definitely a great project for a Bible cover and study journal.

Sure... You can use newspaper or wrapping paper, as if you were going to cover a school book, to get the correct finished size. (Wrap around book and cut to fit height and width of closed book.) Then, add seam allowance + 1/4" or so for ease. FWIW, I was thinking of doing the same thing, as I watched the video. Merry Christmas.

It's a seam guide. Available as an accessory for many models of sewing machines. Several different styles. Before ordering, make sure your choice fits your particular model of machine. The screw size can vary. The one for my Singer doesn't fit my Brother sewing machine. Hope this helps.

they have magnetic ones as well. i’ve seen them at JoAnns!

This is what I would do. Measure the length of the longest piece and add 1/4" for the bottom seam and 1-1/2" for a top drawstring closure. Measure the circumference of both pieces together at the widest point and add 1"; this is the width you will need plus both 1/2" seam allowances. Sew the bottom seam. Turn down the top 1/4", then fold the remaining 1-1/4" in half . Sew a seam so that you now have a carrier for your draw string. Then sew the side seam to within 1" of the top. Turn the tube right side out. Insert a draw string and voila, pool cue carrier. If you want a carrying strap, you could sew that into the bottom seam and into the side seam again near the top or just have a handle sewn into the side seam.

@@GrrannyH1 thank you very much for ur help. When I get the fabric I may give this a try.

Ayesha Khan there is a pattern download. You might find that more helpful.

I also can’t find the printable?

Either one will work. May need to add a 1/4" or so to the measurements to accommodate the thickness of the batting. FWIW, I like the idea of using interfacing to reduce the bulk of the cover. A more slimline version. Merry Christmas PS: It's always easy to choose seasonal fabrics for limited use notebooks. Personally I prefer non-seasonal, for items like this, for longer term use. Just 2-cents......

Suzi, IMO, it is well thought out --- for using 10x10 precuts. Can be done with any size pre-cuts (as in piecing to get final needed dimensions) or plain yardage straight from the bolt, too. It takes both time and effort to work out how to get from x size precuts to the size piece needed to make each section with coordinating seam utilization. Personally, I appreciate the thought that went into this more subtle design using 10x10. Merry Christmas.

@@oldtimerlee8820, are you kidding me? He used directional fabric with the top going one way and the bottom going another way. You couldn't pay me enough money to buy or make one that was spliced in such a haphazard way. I liked that he used a coordinating fabric for the binding, but the piecing of the cover needed a bit more creativity, the engineering was ok, the hole for turning could have been on the inside, but it worked out well enough. Put it this way, they would've never sold on Etsy or Pinterest. Not his best work.🎄💜🌞🌵

Suzi, No I'm not kidding. Nor do I come to You-Tube to be a critic of someone's work, as I'm not perfect 100% of the time, either. I came to this video to see the technique, the approach, and how I might incorporate it into my work. Personally, I could care less about the directional nature of the fabric, he used. His choice, as I'm sure he knows far more about directional prints than what I'll ever learn. If you'll take the time to look at the pdf pattern, you'll see that it is far from being "haphazard". It is well though out. Has a very "tailored" appearance, that can be utilized in multiple ways. IMO, where we are different is that I have no desire to sell on Etsy, Ebay, or being "pinned" on social media. When someone is teaching me technique, it's fine if they use fabric from a well worn bed sheet, or reuse pallet wood. (I also have a woodworking shop.) It simply doesn't matter. I don't expect expensive rosewood when a Lowes Home Improvement dowel serves to illustrate the construction detail. To each his/her own. Merry Christmas. Peace on earth, good will to men.

@@oldtimerlee8820, I'm a long time viewer of ManSewing and have become accustomed to his beautiful designs, beyond technique, like his beautiful appliqued seascape, quilted wall hangings. And even his beautifully simple cork wallet and other man bags. At the end of this video he asked for critiques, so I gave one. I'm not sorry that I've come to expect more from Rob than a set of plans, but I know he can do better than he did on this one. 🎄💜🌞🌵

@@suzisaintjames I agree that this project is not the best for 10" squares. Otherwise fun to see how he does it!
