Sew fabric books and book covers with this collection of free patterns & tutorials gathered from all over
the web.
And, of course, a fabric book cover not only provides protection for your books from everyday wear and
tear (especially children's text books), but also provides a fun, creative way to dress them up. A book
cover can also come in handy when you're reading in public - and don't necessarily want others to know
what you're reading! Plus, a fabric cover is also reusable, unlike a paper book cover.
And if you need your book cover to be especially durable, consider sewing it from denim or cotton canvas.
And if you want your book cover to be washable, just remember to preshrink your fabric first so that your
finished cover will retain its shape after laundering and still fit your book.
Note: If a project below includes a printable pattern, you’ll see a “p” next to its title. If a project doesn’t
include a pattern template, it likely consists of simple fabric shapes (like squares and rectangles) that you
can easily measure and cut yourself. And note that some projects may be designed for a specific type of
sewing machine. However, if a project you like calls for, say, complex embroidery stitches and you have
just a simple zigzag machine, you can try experimenting with a satin stitch, hand-embroidering a design, or
adding purchased embellishments instead.

Sewing Quick Tips:
Tip #1: If you need help sewing accurate seams, try using a raised seam guide instead of the
flat seam guide on your sewing machine. The edge of your fabric will butt up against the edge
of the raised seam guide to help keep it from shifting out of place.
Tip #2: For basting, try using a different color thread – one that contrasts with your fabric.
This way, your thread will be easier to see and therefore easier to remove later.
