Quilter's Planner Cover Pattern
This is a pattern for the flap on your Quilter's Planner, plus the cutting measurements and assembly instructions to make your own Quilter's Planner Cover. This pattern should be used in conjunction with my video tutorial. There are also helpful tips and tricks on my blog post.
You can choose your own closure type. Choose from a Magnetic Snap Closure, a Twist Lock, or even a fancy Flip Lock Closure. You can check out all the finishes in my Bag Hardware section of my online shop.
This pattern includes a PDF template for the flap, cutting instructions for all the fabric and interfacing and basic assembly instructions.
The Quilter's Planner and Closure Hardware are not included.
