notepad cover and carrier

remember this inspiration? a tablet carrier with place for cards etc?

here is my drawing of it. I decided to cut off the top flap.

I rearranged the inside pieces to fit my needs.

I need something to carry with me to meetings at the Association

so that I can stay organized and have everything handy

So I pieced up some scraps and fiddled to figure out the size 

that I needed 

I am doing a tri-fold kind of thing

then quilted it in lines about an inch or so apart 

I used thin batting and no backing

I then cut a background fabric and made some pockets

for my things

the one on the left will hold 2 pens and some membership cards

the middle my notepad

the right any checks I receive for dues

see? fits perfectly! 

and I added velcro for closures

here is the right side folded in

Here it is all folded and is just waiting for me to add the binding.

A colorful binder that is sure NOT to get lost

and I will have everything handy dandy

when I need it.

Don't you LOVE the internet for inspiration?

I just need someone to make days a little longer so I have

time to sew them all.

and a "selfie"

not a good one but hey, it isn't as easy as these young kids make it look! 

I guess you CAN teach an old dog new tricks ha ha
