Quilted Planner Cover

February 15, 2011 by Jodi 7 Comments

Are you a list making person? I am.  There is something reassuring about writing all the thoughts floating around in my head on paper.  Suddenly, the impossible seems doable when it is written in list form. I also am a lover of calendars, and I look forward to the new year when I get to copy over all the important dates on clean crisp new pages. So, when I was looking for a use for my test quilt block, I thought it would be fun to wrap up my paper happiness with some fabric happiness.

The resulting planner cover holds a spiral bound half-sized weekly planner, with a pocket for random bits of paper. There are always random bits of paper.

In the back, there is another large vertical pocket, a pocket for a grocery list/brainstorming/doodling notepad, and a wide elastic loop to hold a pen.  It is all held together with a magnetic snap.

Now, I’m off to write me some Prepare-For-Baby lists. 🙂

    Pockets are probably my Second Favorite Thing Ever (right behind lists). 🙂

    Lovely! I know just the friend to gift one of these (her birthday is coming up and she’s a fan of paper).

    Hi,
    I was looking for a fabric planner cover pattern on the internet and came across the one you made using your test quilt block. I fell in love with it and would like to know if you had a pattern for it that you would like to share?

      Unfortunately, Barb, I don’t have one. It was a fly by the seat of your pants project, and the dimensions would change depending on the size of the planner. I’ll keep it in mind for future sewing patterns though.

It is a place to go for encouragement, information, and sewing camaraderie. It’s a place where “done” is better than “perfect”, and where saying “I didn’t try” is worse than “I failed”. Read More…
