Book covers! Wanna make a beautiful gift? or cover up an old book? Or maybe read an embrassing book on the bus!? Well then why not a beautiful and simple book cover! Oh and the best part? It takes about 15 minutes!

In that pile of books over there on the left, there's a paperback book, a hardcover AND a note book (great gift!). It works for all books! I followed the tutorial in the Liberty Home Sewing Book, but I found this super cute tutorial online, that's practically the same!

               

            

Sewing supplies:

                       ◦ fabric*

                       ◦ thread

                       ◦ sewing machine

                       ◦ (and a book of course!)

* to determine the size of your rectangular piece that will serve as the slip cover, you need to mesure your book!

height = height of book, plus 1½in for hems

width = four times width of the front cover.
