Do you need a fast and simple gift? Well, these easy fabric bookmarks are a little handmade touch to go with a store-bought book as a gift and are so cute sticking out of the side. And I love them because they won’t damage a book!
They are perfect sewing project for any age and are also a perfect scrap buster for tiny pieces of fabric that you have left-over from other projects. Hannie helped me with this one and the only part I did was the top-stitching (mostly because she had a friend come to the door to play).
Here’s how I made mine:
*3 pieces of quilting cotton (4 inches by 4 inches)
* 1 piece of batting (4 inches by 4 inches)
Step 1: Iron one square in a half-square triangle.
Step 2: Place batting on the bottom, then 1 square (right side up), then your half-square triangle on top.
Step 3: Place your last square on top with the right side facing down toward the rest of the fabrics.
Step 4: Stitch around the square leaving a 1 inch opening to turn. Clip corners.
Step 5: Turn and flip right sides out. Topstitch the opening closed.
And you are done!
Awesome!! And a perfect project for using up scraps and leftover charm squares. I’ve got a Craft Gossip post scheduled for this evening that links to your tutorial:
