[@yaritorres8347]

Just made one as a Christmas gift and it was so easy to follow along. Your instructions were very helpful. Came out super cute.

[@TalesTeacups]

I'm so glad!

Love this. Your tutorial is very thorough and helpful, I’m gonna try to make this, wish me luck I’m super excited about it.

[@TalesTeacups]

I am glad that I could help :)

This is a fantastic tutorial! I just used it yesterday (with slightly different measurements) to make a laptop case out of an old t-shirt I wanted to repurpose. This was super easy to follow, and your idea of using clips instead of pins is brilliant!

[@TalesTeacups]

Thank you! I am glad that I was able to help :)

I'm gonna make two of these as Christmas gifts for my book-loving friends, thank you so much for making this tutorial!

More sewing diys please

I leave the liner fabric protruding out a 1/4”, it accents the top edge. I also make binding tape from the liner fabric to add to the top edge of a pocket that’s 2/3 the size of the sleeve. This allows me to carry papers, writing utensils, stuff in the pocket. Add a small strap and button closure, maybe some lace in the seams! Get creative!

[@TalesTeacups]

Great tip!

[@cristinar8070]

Hello! I loved your tutorial and you have encouraged me to make a cover for my books. but I would like to know where you bought the "Beauty and the Beast" fabric. thanks! ❤️

[@TalesTeacups]

I am so glad you liked this tutorial. I got the Beauty and the Beast fabric from Joanns.

[@Raspy1891]

This is awesome! Could you film how to include a zipper? ☺️

[@TalesTeacups]

I have never sewn with a zipper before so I don't think I would be your best resource for that

[@remcombs]

I feel silly for asking but do you know what dimensions would be appropriate to fit the Harry Potter books? I followed your tutorial for myself & love the size of it but I want to make a gift for a friend. The size you have fit for the first 3 HP books but then they get thicker after that and won’t fit.

[@TalesTeacups]

I would say maybe go up 1-1.5 inches on each side using the dimensions I provided in this tutorial. I hope this helps :)

[@remcombs]

Tales&Teacups I will try that out, thank you!

[@nj586]

Could you please say which type of fabric the Beauty & the Beast one and the inside fabric was? I would like to make it myself but don't know if, say, a jersey would survive me ironing it to the form stuff.

[@TalesTeacups]

They are both cotton fabric

[@katiefey1408]

Does it need to be double sided foam stabalizer? Or just one side?

[@TalesTeacups]

Double sided. You need the outside and inner layer to adhere to it.

[@jasminejimenez2932]

Are you a bookstagrammer???

[@TalesTeacups]

No really. I sometimes post pictures of books though :)

[@maicee2832]

If I’m a beginner to sewing would I be able to do this??

[@TalesTeacups]

I think so. It is fairly straight forward.
