This is a really simple book cover, fastening with ribbon to the side. Please look out for a future video with an added zipped pocket. I’ve kept this simple so that it is a beginner friendly project, and can easily be mass produced if you are making to sell, or what a great gift for any one you know! Child themed fabric for the kids, denim would work well, or you could use a patchworked fabric for the outer if you have a little more time!
I’ve used Sailors Fish on Blue and Sailors Boats on Burnt Orange from debbieshoresewing.com

Materials:
My book measures 12” x 8.5” [30cm x 22cm]
So I’ve cut one outer and one lining piece to 1” [2.5cm] larger than my book size. Fuse fleece [H640] to the wrong side of the outer piece.
Also cut four 3” [8cm] wide strips to the length of the fabric. Mine are 3” x 9.5” [8cm x 24cm]
Two pieces of ribbon each measuring 12” [30cm]

Great tutorial--thank you! I've been quilting and sewing for years, but sometimes I run across a fabulous tutorial like this and think, "Thanks! I'll make 10!" Truly, I have a lot of friends who read with birthdays coming up and this is the perfect personalizing touch for gifting books. Much appreciated!

@tlsnana9539 Год назад

Perfect timing! My Bible cover is wearing out. I have so many notes in it that I don’t want a new one. I was wondering what to do. Thank you!

@iloveharrold Год назад

When I’ve made book covers, I’ve sewn in 2 (yes 2!) book marks which can be further adorned with beads etc. found this very useful.

@caronfrench4683 Год назад

Music to my ears "Beginner Sew-er" 🥰 I'm definitely going to try this with material I had made for me so long ago. Thank you so much! xx

@juliaarnold890 Год назад

Love how you did turning gap, not see it done like that, much neater, looking forward to seeing its upgrades, thank you ❤

@MyDaisy66 Год назад

I made one of these for a friend who is going on a short course. It makes such a wonderful gift. A nice easy make. Thank you Debbie 🙏

Hi Debbie! From the two nutters who met you at the Stitch show on 24.3.23 - we had travelled from Heathrow. Ornella & Sue.

@suecummings7650 Год назад

OMG, when I saw your comment I nearly fainted. My sister in laws name was Ornella, she passed almost 12 years ago! My name is Sue and to see those two names together no less gave me goosebumps. I showed it to my niece and she dang near freaked herself!

@sutela2060 Год назад

Can i make this cover for a spiral notebook and still look neat?? Love the idea bookcover😊

@beatricemarie7880 Год назад

Can you make a video on how you make your own ironing pads? Thank you.

@ornelladay2041 Год назад

Hi, Debbie did an ironing/cutting pad about six years ago, on youtube

@diannevoights4964 8 месяцев назад

Would you be at all interested in making a book cover for the steno spiro bound notebook. I use them everyday and not sure how to adapt your pattern maybe with pen pocket, oh a quilted (just one fabric) would be awesome. My sewing club would go nuts

@denakeyes1873 5 месяцев назад

Love this book cover. What fusible fleece is equivalent in the US to the fleece you use?

@leolindersYT Год назад

This looks great to make with my daughter who likes notebooks. I've never used fusible fleece before - is it different from wadding (like used in your picnic placemats)?

@remington6363 Год назад

Great

@dapplington395 Год назад

Great job Debbie it's so simple thank you for your great showing

@trinasentner4095 6 месяцев назад

Your machine sounds like it needs to be oiled. I do love this pattern. I am going to use it to make a Bible cover

@Tribblejuice 6 месяцев назад

I watched this video to learn how to make a bible cover too!

@roybushell7773 5 месяцев назад

How did you make your little ironing board?

@leannadodman4941 Год назад

Could put a tab on the end and use a magnetic snap or a kam snap or even a button to close, instead of the ribbon?

@mrsworldofwayne7735 Год назад

Hi, what is the seam allowance on this please, I can’t see it anywhere and didn’t hear you say. Thank you

@smileytow1925 10 месяцев назад

I heard her say 1/4 inch seams when she was sewing the two inside pieces.

@juliajones5733 Год назад

Could I make it without the fleece and quilting? The book I want to make one for has already got a thick cover. Thanks

@Dha.Journeeya Год назад

Hi,.. would yu like to shre, what type of lining or interface did you use for the outer fabric. because there are many type of lining, and quite confusing for beginner to choose. Thank you.

@dawnford4846 10 месяцев назад

Debbie do you think it would be possible to use PVC / oilcloth for this project?

@dianecheeseworth2709 9 месяцев назад

I added a pocket to the inside of the front cover to hold a pen

@kristenmolenda6582 Год назад

What sewing machine do you use please?

@kristenmolenda6582 Год назад

I dont understand.. what kind of pen does she use that the iron removes the pen marks?

@felbrook Год назад

Can l ask why you didn’t you a longer piece and fold it over as that would save you sewing twice… was there a reason why you did it this way pls as new to all this 😂

@dianecheeseworth2709 10 месяцев назад

One reason was to use a different fabric
