These fabric covers for steno pads make great gifts for teachers, friends, co-workers… really anyone who might like to jot down notes in style.

They can be made totally reversible. They have a handy spot on the cover for a pen or pencil and an elastic closure.

I think these would make great little gifts when you just need a little something.  They are quick and easy!

  3. Hi ! I downloaded the pattern for the fabric covered steno pads and am a little confused about the pocket pieces. The pattern says to fold them in half with wrong sides together and stitch across the top,,,ok,,so when I go to place them on the outer fabric, is the right sides of the pocket pieces facing up at me? thanks for any help you can give me , Judy

  4. I am in awe and am totally over the moon to see such wonderful fabric design. My mind is running wild with possible ideas of things to be made! I particularly love this notebook cover, I am going to make one for each of my kids and their cousins and their friends and their teachers. I am going to be busy for a long time! Thanks for sharing!!!

  5. Thanks for offering the pattern for this. I first thought of these covers as a teacher gift, but on second thought decided to make one for every woman I know for Christmas this year. Completely economical, practical, and cute! The tutorial was fool proof. Steno pad + pen + fabric only cost me about $3 to make each one, but they look like so much more.

  6. easy, fun, and fast to put together. made these for my bible study group for prayer books. I made 27 in one weekend from scraps of material I already had at home.

  7. i’m a fan from hong kong. i thought you’re talking about notebook computer and i was just about to download it!

    wouldn’t it be great if you could also design a fabric cover for notebook computer as well? i absolutely need one! : )

  8. I made this and your reversible tote bag one day and I almost finished them both while my 3 kids napped. I am not a fast sewer and didn’t even have a rotary cutter at the time. They made a great birthday present for a 15 year old girl.

  9. How wonderful! You could even applique their name, an image, or anything else to really give it a custom look!

  10. I downloaded this a while back. Your instructions were easy to follow and the cover turned out really well. Great pattern!

  11. I saw in one of my parent and child magazines, these really pretty Sudoku books with pretty fancy covers so no one knows you are doing Sudoku. I guess some people don’t like the covers on the books that they usually come with. These would be really cool alternatives. If you could just slip your book in.
