Boro and Sashiko inspired calendar book cover

I became tired of carrying around my calendar and all the things I put in it, which constantly fall out and decided to make myself a cover. One I could patch as it wears out and I could customize it as needed over time.  The following photos show my efforts.

This is the outside cover

The inside of the cover

Front cover over calendar book

I need to add a few things to the inside like a pen holder and slots for business cards and a closure.

I am enjoying using up scraps of fabric. These pieces of fabric were laid out on a piece of denim recovered from jeans. Then embroidered and another piece of denim fabric added to the inside.
