Sew a Fabric Book Cover - Sew a Journal Cover

[@Zephulastar]

This is so great. Thank you for making a point to explain how the fabric should be oriented and placed. You are a great teacher.

[@MuzikInZpired]

I absolutely love how simple this is. I can already see embroidery or htv on the front to personalize them!!

[@SewnByNikki]

I agree! Not sure if you have access to IG but you can see the personalization I did on some using HTV. Check out those denim covers. (@sewnbynikki). I love it them!

[@mommad8999]

I’m sorry, but what is HTV? Please and thank you.

So glad to see you posting videos again... And I think this one is perfect for my bookclub ladies. Just a little something to help them get through a cold 🇨🇦 winter.

[@SewnByNikki]

Thank you!! Yes, I am back! Needed to take a break for a bit. I have a whole list of requests so you will see my face pop up every week. :) I'm glad you will be able to create this for someone. Simple, quick, yet so useful! Have fun making them.

[@louisemoran2243]

thank you.... you made this so easy for me, as you explained it so well. And you are fun in your approach too.

[@SewnByNikki]

You just made me smile. That's my goal, to explain it well so you can learn and get to sewing! Thank you for watching!

[@christinablain2004]

I love this and I’m glad I came across it on here. I’m going to do this for my journaling book. I’ve seen your video a few times so I don’t mess up 😅

[@donnathompson8634]

Love this project. Can’t wait to make some.

[@SewnByNikki]

They are quick and easy to make! Perfect for a book lover! Or to cover a bible or journal. Have fun making them!

[@andrea.rivers]

So versatile and classic sew for any level sewist. Thanks for sharing!

[@JosyJo14]

Hey there Nikki.... Great to see you again posting your Amazing tutorials... I’ve missed you!!! Thanks sew much for sharing this with us... just in time for back to school projects.... Cheers from Australia

[@SewnByNikki]

😊 Thank you so much for that! I appreciate it! I'm back! ♡

[@juliebute905]

Great video. I’m giving this one a go!!!

[@SewnByNikki]

Please do! Quick and easy!!!

[@zabby4045]

Thank you for this! I loved the way you explained your steps. I am fairly new to sewing and your tuturials are awesome! ( Yes, I subscribed)

[@SewnByNikki]

You are so welcome! Thank you so much for your feedback. I am glad they are useful and hopefully, you will be able to always use some of the techniques you learn to create other items.

[@JosyJo14]

Ps.... you can also add a small pocket inside your cover for pens too as well as if you wanted to add a button closure ( like you would have with a takeaway coffee cup... cheers Nikki :)

[@SewnByNikki]

I did add that in my initial video but edited it out because I had already sewn the flaps on and would not have been able to explain it clearly to viewers. ;)

[@chrissiemack]

Hi Nikki! Loved your tutorial, you explained it so well and took the time to show how to make a beautiful, quality project, if only my book were that size!!!! Would have been over the moon and my search would have ended here if you had...(my books are very small)

[@SewnByNikki]

Thank you for watching! You can alter the size of the fabric. Just add on several inches to the size of your book. The project will come together in the same way. You can do this!!

[@ImASurvivorNThriver]

Sooo nice! Thanks for sharing.

[@caffinavenuellc56]

Thank you..Very nice.

[@miriamnahom3963]

Lovely. Tx Nikki.

[@tracybrewer9640]

I made a book cover for a mates baby plunket book. Its ended up as a good wee earner. She has got me about 40 orders and I sell each one for $15. And once cut them out only take about 10 to 15 minutes for each one. I just did a plain and basic cover. But want to make some with a lot of detail etc.

[@SewnByNikki]

Good job! Yes, it is a great seller where you can make a good profit. One of the easiest to cut and sew. Have fun with this!

[@jillfisher4595]

What are the measurements

[@melindaludwick5428]

I'm a beginner sewer this is a great project for me. Question how would I adjust the size for a larger or smaller book??

[@SewnByNikki]

You can open your book and lay it flat so the spine touches the table. Add 1" to whatever measurements you get when you measure width wise. That is how I did this. Also, for the height, I added 1/2" to top and bottom. Adding additional space to the width allows for a thicker book to be placed inside and close snug.

[@brendachristian4328]

What are the measurements of the fabric? Ready to cut, no idea how to cut

[@brendachristian4328]

Ound it in the notes

[@brendachristian4328]

Found

[@ruthwatts7718]

I wouldn't start my top stitching on front cover.

[@SewnByNikki]

You don't have to. Everyone has their preference. I prefer to because the stitches look good and if the bobbin gets wonky, it is not on my top fabric. I don't ever top stitch from underneath.............
