So, the main benefit of a book cover is to simply add some extra prettiness to your life. But it also serves the very practical purpose of protecting your book from wear and tear.

And if you add a layer of interfacing or fusible fleece to your book cover fabric, the cover will provide even more protection. Plus, a book cover gives you privacy if you don't want those around you to know what you're reading.

And the more elaborate designs on these pages include extra features like handy inner and outer pockets for storing paper, pens, and pencils, built-in bookmarks, and covers that fasten with buttons or snaps. And there's even a book cover designed with a carrying handle.

And, of course, the main benefit of making your own book cover is being able to customize it to the size of your book. Plus, a book cover can be an excellent project for using up fabric scraps from your scrap bin. Stitch several smaller squares or strips together in patchwork fashion to create fabric pieces that will be large enough. A fabric book cover can also be a great project for quilting pre-cuts, such as fat quarters and jelly rolls.

Take an ordinary blank composition book and wrap it in a beautiful fabric cover to create a lovely gift, especially for someone who loves to write. And the great thing is that once the notebook is full, the cover can be reused.

And most of these book cover projects would likely be simple and easy enough for a beginner to make. The construction will likely consist of just a few straight seams, with perhaps the only tricky part being measuring your book for proper fit and turning your fabric right side out.
