Need a last-minute handmade gift idea? I've got my notebook cover tutorial over on the Art Gallery blog today!
I'm using Art Gallery's fab Rock 'N Romance fabric line to make this girly-ish cover. It looks like there's a ribbon laced through the cover, doesn't it? Nope, it's all pieced, and super easy. Click on over to see how to make it.
And I know you want to win a fat quarter bundle of Rock 'N Romance, right? Just leave a comment on this post to win. Remember, you have to subscribe to Art Gallery's blog and follow them on your favorite social media platform in order to win. I'll pick a winner on Friday. Have a great week of wrapping up holiday shopping and making!
