Fabric Journal Cover
written by marieann
This was super easy and addictive! Just think of all the fabrics you can use to make these for all your books and occasions. These don’t have to be for your journals, but for your books too. They are so easy there’s no reason not to make dozens of them.
Materials
A piece of fabric 4 times the width of your book and the height of your book plus 1 inch
Tools
Iron
Sewing machine
Needle & thread
Instructions
1. Sew under the edges of the fabric on both ends a 1/2 an inch to create a clean edge on both short sides.
2. Wrap the fabric around the book wrong sides out. Close the book with the fabric attached.
3. Snip the fabric on either side of the book binding until you reach the book.
4. Baste the cover together along the top and bottom with a hand stitch.
5. Slip the cover off the book and sew along the basting lines with your sewing machine. Trim the excess fabric off the corners.
6. Turn it right side out. Press the cover flat everywhere.
7. Put it back on the book!
