Let's make this pretty picture pocket cover for a photo album or memory book. Just follow the instructions for the elegant book cover. We have it all prepared here up to before you sew the flaps down. The ribbon is sewn in the middle. The edges of the book is marked. The flaps are pressed down to fit the book, and we've sewn down the rough edges of the edges there. We've sewn down the rough edges so they'll be neat when we turn the book cover. Now, I'll show you how to put a picture pocket on the front. This is the picture I'm going to be using. It's about 2 inches by 2 inches the part that I want to show. Just decide where you want to put it and mark that. Now, we just want to make sure that it's square. We'll go like that and mark the measurement. About 2 inches. 2 inches there. We'll just straighten up that edge from where I traced. Then 2 inches. I'm going to go from the 4. 1, 2 inches here. 2 inches. Draw a straight line there. Okay, now we have the box that the picture will fit into.
