ITH Notebook Cover
by Michelle Hall
Create a beautiful and functional notebook cover completely in the hoop while exploring the charm of EmbroideLee Designs by Sew Steady. In this class, we will be stitching with designs from the Big T EmbroideLee Collection to create a notebook cover that is both practical and full of personality.
Whether you are making one for yourself, a gift, a class sample, or a creative journal, this ITH Notebook Cover is a fun project that blends useful sewing with beautiful embroidery details. Bring your favorite fabrics and get ready to stitch a project you will want to use every day.
This project is a wonderful way to build confidence with in-the-hoop construction while learning how embroidery, fabric, and finishing details come together to create a polished project. You will see how the design stitches, how the notebook cover is assembled in the hoop, and how simple fabric choices can completely change the look of the finished piece.
This project is easily adaptable to both ruler work and embroidery, so be creative! An excellent and practical gift for anytime of the year!

Michelle’s creative journey began early, when she inherited her mother’s Singer Touch & Sew—ushering in a lifelong love for sewing, embroidery, and design. From crafting doll clothes and repurposing garment patterns into elaborate costumes, she was drawn to the magic of making things by hand and bringing ideas to life through fabric and thread.
Michelle is known for her engaging, down-to-earth teaching style and her ability to break down complex techniques into approachable steps. Whether she’s demonstrating serger skills, guiding sewists of all levels through embroidery, teaching the artistry of free motion quilting and ruler work, helping with mastering IQ Designer and Palette 11, or helping seasoned sewists level up their craft, her goal is always the same: to empower others to create with confidence and joy.
