Fabric Book Cover- DIY Journal Cover Instructions

Fabric Book Cover Instructions

DIY Cover Tutorial

I wish this was a quick explanation, but bear with me.

Cut a large rectangle so that when folded in half, the fabric folds over the closed journal to create a flap or book jacket flaps. Fold the top and bottom seams so they are even with the journal edges. Using an iron, press the seams you just created.

Press both that edge, as well as the edge of the book jacket flap where it folds over the cover.

The first place we need to sew is along the edges I highlighted below.

Place the book on the fabric cover and fold the pressed seams over to put the cover in place.

Pin the flaps to the cover and gently remove the cover to finish sewing.

Here’s another view of this instruction:

 

Sew both ribbons onto the flaps {using the same color ribbon, remember?}, making sure to sew the ribbon only to the flap, and not the cover.

Insert your journal, close the cover, and tie the ribbons to keep prying eyes away.

Thanks Sarah for such a beautiful fabric book cover and easy to understand tutorial.

Who won’t like to make it for their favorite books! Fabric covers are also good for Family Recipe Books, if something spills while cooking you can just toss the cover into the laundry and bravo!
