I Love this tutorial, just one suggestion to anybody wanting to make this. The lady in the video said she used a heavier home decor fabric, but if you are planning on making this out of quilting cotton or a lighter weight fabric, I would suggest adding a lining. The lining prevents any show through from the text on the book or otherwise!

Love how you make it so simple and straightforward. No fuss. Love the cheery background music too! .

This is the neatest and simplest tutorial I came across for fabric covering my journal

I LOVED THE PROJECT. IT IS VERY USEFUL , AND FUN TO HAVE A DIFERENT BOOK COVER , AND MOST IF ALL WASHABLE , AND CAN CHANGE IT ANY TIME. THANK YOU FOR SHARING. NICE PROJECT. GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS.

Thank you so much for this video! Just finished my first cover with an African fabric. Looks beautiful!

An alternative to measuring the book before hand is to lay it flat and measure 4 inches from either side and one inch from the top. Saves time and unnecessary measurements. I used thin pj fleece which was a little tricky to work with.

So clear and simple, thank you! I've seen several tutorials on cover making and NONE of them have been as quick and straightforward as this one.

I have seen a few demos, your is the most simple and straightforward. Thank you !

Great video. Simple and straightforward. I don't like videos where there is lots of waffling - none of that here. Thank you. :-)

Tip that I learned the hard way: I felt weird about leaving raw edges, so I turned and sewed down the long edges. Don't do this! When you're finished the little bit of bulk from the turned edge is noticeable and irritating, and all the raw edges would be tucked away anyway so they aren't be an issue. Apart from that my cover turned out great!

Just came across your tutorial. So easy to follow. I just made a cover for a Bible my oldest daughter’s grandmother bought for her when she was 6. My daughter is now 40. It’s a Precious Moments Bible and for the most part has held up pretty well over the years. I made the cover from fabric that belonged to my daughter’s great great grandmother. So to us it makes it very sentimental. Thank you for your tutorial.

Thank you. Definitely the easiest one I've watched so far. Wish me luck...😊

Seems easy enough to cover a plain journal book! Thank you for sharing!

Way to spruce up plain scrapbook binders/books as well, thanks and keep these ideas coming......please

This is im gonna make a personalized cover for my sisters journal as a gift. Thank you for easy to understand steps.

I used a beautiful velvet and covered my books. Thanks for the instructions. It worked great.

OMG!! Thank you for sharing this video.. It took me forever to find a easy and quick diy book cover.

Thanks for the great pattern. Because one person noted there was an issue with using a spiral notebook, I adjusted the pocket. Instead of folding over 4 inches, I decreased it to 3.75 inches. That little change allows the notebook to close, gracefully.

Super easy and straightforward! Thanks so much! My medical assisting textbook is in rough shape, so a book cover would definitely make it look prettier lol.

Thanks for this vid! I'm trying to make a gift for my boss who loves to read. I made one for myself as a test and it came out well. Can't wait to make another one for my boss!

Simple tutorial. I love it. Thank you

Wow thanks for the tutorial.Me and my friends are actually making a childrens book so this could be useful.😀😀

Very good idea. Thank you for sharing.

Simple and elegant method ❤️

Thank you, have a school project on this and this really helped

Excellent tutorial! Made one tonight, fits perfectly!

Omg!! It's super easy😍😍 I was little bit tensed about making project life album's cover. Searching something easy way. So now i can apply this method😃Thanks a lot😁

What a beautiful fabric. Thanks

Thanks for this. It was so straight forward and concise! Loved you got straight to the point and the ease of which you created this. It was exactly what I was looking for.

I watched so many and this one was the easiest to follow!

Thank you! It was so easy and came out really nice.

Thank you, just what I needed!

Thanks , this is a wonderful tutorial. I love making book covers . I've seen a whole lot of tutorial for this but your method is so good and fast. I'm surely going to try this. All your creations are beautiful. Well done.

Love this...I just made one for my b5 stalogy...quick and simple. Thank you so much.

Nice video! And you don't chit chat constantly which I love. Succinct and easy to follow. Thank you!

this is so nice! Im using this for my worn Bible cover

I just made this! I did! I came out perfect!

Great idea! I was looking for a pattern to cover my spiral notebook. I plan to use cotton, so I may decide to line it, or use some fusible interfacing. Or maybe just live on the edge and just use one layer of cotton.

and here I thought this was going to be hard. off to the fabric store for me!

Thanks so much for your help. I have quite a few other books to cover, thanks to some cats. They had been using my books for a scratching post

You give really good idea because sometime I have a lots of fabric but I can't understand how to use it. Next time I will use remaining fabric like this way

Thank you for the tutorial! Am inspired to create some for my small business! Wish me luck!

Great video! I’ve been wanting to do a book cover for my journals. Thank you!

Thank you so much! Now I can protect my pocket-sized paperbacks. The book covers often got messed up in my bag.

Ohhh dear, let me try this

Thank you for this nice easy lesson. I am making Christmas gifts for my friends this year

easy and useful ..thank u

loved it😁❣️

Thank you so much for sharing

nice lesson thank u ^^

Thank you ! Great video !

Thank you so much!

I've not ruined mine yet, but I definitely should've watched this video before beginning to make mine, lol. I didn't even think about just making pockets to fit the covers into, I was going to glue the edges to the inside of the book (this is for a hardback journal I'll be using for scrapbooking). I like your method way more, so that if I do get tired of the print I'm using, I can change it without damaging the book. I have a second pack of the fabric in case I indeed have reached a point of no return, but I'll see if I can pivot into this version with the current fabric first. Thank you for this! Edit: Took me about two days (with breaks) to finish mine as I don't have a sewing machine, but it's done! I didn't need the second pack of fabric, so I can return it to the store. I used a Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) pattern I found at Walmart that was sold in a 1 yard pack. Without even fully unfolding it, it had room to spare with the size of my journal. I did almost ruin everything, though, with a weird insistence that the pockets cover as much of the inside panels as possible 😅. I wanted it to be like how you read a book synopsis on the inside panel...though there's nothing to read this time, I just thought it would look nicer. It instead just adds more fabric so that the book doesn't sit fully closed. And because of this change, I almost wasn't able to slide the book in. Only by pulling the book covers back almost completely was I able to slip the second half in. This can definitely ruin the spine, so I'd suggest others to follow the pocket depth recommendation from the video 😂 Anywho, it's now done and won't need to be taken out, but I can if I truly want to as opposed to my initial idea of gluing the fabric, lol. Really great tutorial, thank you!

Thanks for this

Wonderful

Thank you 💖

Wonderful Idea

Heel leuk. Vooral voor een agenda of adresboekje.

Thanks nice I forgot how to do it, been so many year's.

Thank you so much ❤

Thank you:)

You could add iron on vinyl to protect the fabric too.

very nice

Thankyou 😀👍🏼

😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

I tried this for a spiral bound notebook and it just doesn’t work :( because when I lay it down open and fold the inner flap ends over it is one dimension, but when I close the book it needs about another inch in length to be able to close. Was bummed because this was the best most simplest method I found after so many! Maybe elastic or a stretchy fabric on the spine/spirals would work. Frustrated!

thank you but i dont have all the metireals so can i rap in rapping paper???

Just a suggestion..you might want to tell people in the supplies needed segment that they will also need a sewing machine and iron. Neither of which I have so sadly I cannot make this. 😕

❤️💚💛💙💜💘

Sorcery!

👍👍👍😉😉💖💗
