book covering

http://www.joyshope.com/2008/08/you-can-sew-this-i-promise.html
Hi I love giving and getting home made gifts. I saw this tutorial for covering books and thought it would be a great gift idea. I get a free diary every year from my employer I love the diary format, but the cover is usually ugly so I have some red pleather cushion covers I could use to cover it with.

    Thanks jinny, they look great.

    I am currently in the process of making these book journals, using an old book and pages designed on Publisher. I am also going to have mine spiral bound
