In The Hoop Notebook & Composition Book Covers

A composition book costs a dollar; a stitched cover makes it a gift. These in the hoop patterns build the whole cover, quilting, lining, binding, inside your embroidery hoop, and the finished sleeve slips over the book like it was tailored for it. Because it was.

Size is the buying decision here, and the products say it plainly. Quilted Standard Composition Notebook Cover sets fit the classic school-supply book. Mini Composition Cover sets, including a monogrammed version, fit the small notebooks that live in purses and glove boxes. An A5 Quilted Journal Cover suits the planner crowd, and two Bible covers, a Decorative Cross and a Crazy Patch version, fit the book that gets carried most. Check the book's size, pick the matching set, and the fit takes care of itself.

The gift math is hard to beat: teacher gifts, journal-keeping friends, a Mom Journal for Mother's Day, Christmas planner covers for the list-makers. Snap-tab small covers even close with a tidy tab.

Each cover arrives at purchase with its construction steps built into the file. Pair one with back to school designs in August, or browse the full in the hoop workshop for everything else giftable.
