10. Fold-Over Elastic Band Journal Companion
Designed to slide directly over the front cover of an A5 notebook or planner, this pouch keeps pens attached to your journal. Construct a flat 3-by-7-inch felt pouch. Before stitching the side seams closed, insert a wide, sturdy strip of elastic band horizontally between the front and back layers on the rear side. Sew the perimeter securely, ensuring the elastic is anchored firmly with reinforced backstitching.
