This project worked up very well. A graph-paper compositon book from Staples, nicely covered with this pattern, is a handy gift for all sorts of crafters.

I started out using HeatnBond Lite as the interfacing for the lining piece, which was a really dumb idea because it's doublesided. I used Pellon Fusible Featherweight for the inside pocket pieces, and it worked very well. One small change to the directions would be to increase the gap for turning the pocket unit to 3 or 4 inches. Otherwise, turning the entire unit is challenging. It can be done but takes perseverance and strong fingers!

Although the pattern calls for topstitching the cover and lining pieces at the very beginning, I waited till the very end to topstich the entire perimeter of the cover. And it's very important to stick to the scant 1/8" topstitch noted in the directions. Doing so insures a good fit. The fit will be snug but it *does* work.
