Making A Bookmark

by Emily Barrett
(Normanton)

Draw a rectangle template.
Cut two out of a fabric or felt of your choice.
Sew a pattern or embroider your name onto one rectangle.
Put a bit of card (thick x1 or thin x2) in between and sew the edges together by machine or hand.

Well done!


Editor's Note:
Thanks Emily for your bookmark project. I love how you can personalize it by hand sewing a pattern or name on it before sewing it together.

I added pictures for this project to show readers how to sew the bookmark together.




Layer a piece of fabric with right side down, a piece of cardstock and another piece of fabric with right sides out. Hold together and sew along edges. Our bookmark was 2 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches but you can make it the size you'd like.
