Fabric Bookmarks


Here is a simple sewing project that is quick, easy and FUN! It's a great project for a beginner.

You can find the instructions from Sew, Mama, Sew! projects. I actually smooshed together a couple of different tutorials. I liked the button from one and the pinking from another. I used interfacing to give the bookmarks some heft. Line each side of the bookmark with medium interfacing, or use 3 layers of light-weight interfacing.

  5. What a great idea for leftover scraps!!!! Love them. I'm always (no don't say it.....bending!!!) the page corners of my books. These would come in so handy.

  8. How cute!!! I once made a bracelet with a very similar technique -- just add a buttonhole opposite the button and you've got it!
