Bullet Journal Cover

2018-Jan-03, Wednesday 06:42 pm
Do you keep a Bullet Journal? Do you find yourself with too much quilting cotton? Why not make some covers for your bujo to keep them in good condition?

Mine is the classic Leuchtturm 1917 A5 size. If you use something else simply adjust the measurements.

You need just two pattern pieces:

The main piece is 35cm x 23cm;
> (15.5 + 2 + 15.5 + (1cm seam allowance x 2)) = 35cm
> (21 + (1cm seam allowance x 2)) = 23cm

The smaller piece, for the wings to grip the journal is 11cm x 23cm;
> (9 + (1cm seam allowance x 2)) = 11cm
> (21 + (1cm seam allowance x 2)) = 23cm

And all done. See just the touch of colour at the edges? This is the most basic of patterns. There are endless ways to fancy this up. For starters, you could add interfacing or wadding if you want a more protective cover, elastic to keep it closed, or ribbons to mark pages. Enjoy.
