Lay out fabric with the right side down. Open up the composition book and place it face down on top of the fabric. Draw a line around the book. Remove the book and cut your fabric approximately 1 inch bigger than the line you drew.
Pour about 1 cup of liquid starch into a disposable bowl. Ball up the fabric and place it in the starch. Make sure fabric is completely saturated. Wring out some of the liquid but leave the fabric fairly wet. Smooth the fabric out, right side down, on wax paper.
Open up the composition notebook and place it, face up, on the fabric. The fabric will stick to the book. Close it, smoothing out the fabric. Let it dry overnight. Cover may warp a little but should flatten when dry. If not, place a few books on top until it is flat again. Trim fabric.
