Alrighty - before we get started here are the links for part one and part two of this project :-)
Now that the fringe is all tied, we need to trim it so that the ends are nice and even. I prefer to drape the scarf over a surface like a door and trim the fringe […]
Time to start fringing!
I’m showing you the quick ‘n dirty way to create a fringe - I’ll explain a second method at the end of the post :-)

The batting & fabric get glued together.
The edges […]
Alrighty -let’s get this notebook done!
I like to finish the inside of the covers by gluing in a piece of decorative paper or non-woven fabric (so it won’t unravel). Measure the inside of the cover and then subtract a 1/4″ from the top and side. Cut the paper out and test fit it on the […]
