How To Create Your Own Sewing Patterns For Fabric Bookmarks With Tassels

Hello y'all!

I hope y'all are doing well today. I want to share with y'all a quick and easy sewing pattern to create some beautiful fabric bookmarks! I found this pattern on Etsy and it has been a game changer for me. No more folding over corners and losing my page in my favorite book.

How To

Here's what you'll need:

Fabric of your choice
Sewing Machine or Needle and Thread
Scissors
Iron
Fabric Pen or Pencil
Ruler or Measuring Tape

Step 1: Cut a piece of fabric to size for your bookmark. I like to cut mine to 2 1/2 inches by 8 inches, but you can adjust the size to your liking.

Step 2: Fold the fabric in half, right sides together, with the shorter ends together. Use your iron to press the fold down.

Step 3: Use your fabric pen or pencil to mark a line from the bottom corner to the top of the fold, about a 1/4 inch from the fold. This will create a diagonal line at the top of the bookmark.

Step 4: Sew along the diagonal line you created in step 3, making sure to back stitch at the beginning and end to secure the stitch.

Step 5: Cut off the excess fabric about 1/4 inch away from the stitch line.

Step 6: Use your iron to press the bookmark, making sure to press the seam so it lays flat.

Step 7: Optional - you can add a piece of interfacing to the back of the fabric to give the bookmark more stability.

And that's all folks - a quick and easy fabric bookmark!

Tips & Tricks

Here are some tips to help you make the perfect bookmark:

Choose a fabric that is sturdy, but not too thick. You want your bookmark to have some flexibility, but not be flimsy.
Use a contrasting fabric for the diagonal line to add some visual interest.
Experiment with different sizes and shapes to create a variety of bookmarks.

Thanks for reading y'all, happy sewing!
