How to make a bookmark out of fabric

Gather your supplies. Cut out two rectangles from your scraps of fabric. This is the best part, you can make these as big or as small as you want. No specific measurements from me 🙂

Pin together. Lay your fabric pieces UGLY sides together. Normally we do pretty sides together but since I won’t be flipping this bookmark inside out, we want both pretty sides on the outside. Insert your ribbon in between the fabric sandwich and pin in place.

Sew. With a 3/8 inch seam allowance, sew around all four edges of the bookmark making sure you pivot your needle when you get close to the edge rather than going all the way across. (As seen in the picture below)

Cut. Using your pinking shears, cut around all four edges.

Decorate. Add any embellishments that you want. I added a fun quilted flower that I had leftover from a previous project.

So simple and pretty! I can’t wait to make a few more of these and hand them out as gifts to my friends and family. Enjoy! 🙂
