I only have two more pages to fill up in my
old notebook before I get to switch to my new one. To get the new one ready, I hand-sewed clear vinyl pockets into it. Because of it's thickness and rigidity, I can't sew it with the machine.
I pre-poked the holes with a pin. I used the leaf pattern to make them evenly-spaced. If you need to do this on plain paper, you could sandwich a piece of graph paper between the paper and the vinyl to use as a guide for poking your holes before you sew it up.
I left pins in the corners as I sewed to help me keep everything straight. I used some floss from my
left over floss bits box.
