I was in Eckersley’s recently and came across some great looking notebooks at $2.95 for 3 small ones and $4.95 for the larger size I thought they would make great presents.  So I set about making little bags for them to go in.

I made a fair few and played around with where I added the ties.  You can download the free pattern here.

Play around with your own version and please share your images and #amakinglife.

I did think you could also play around the with the measurements and make a larger one as a “reading book bag”.

Enjoy.
