Book Covers

Over the Thanksgiving weekend I also made a couple fabric book covers for my Bibles.  I saw these fabrics at a little independent fabric store in the town where my grandma lives and I couldn't help myself!  I've got about a 1/4 yard of each left so I'm going to try to make a small tote bag or something, but haven't gotten to that one yet.

The covers are lined on the inside also. 

This was my first project that really need to be fitted and a specific size (they won't work if they don't fit the book) so I was a bit nervous but they turned out pretty well.  This was also the first time I've used interfacing...I used the fusible kind but Mom's iron wasn't really cooperating so I ended up having to use it like the sew-in kind, but it worked out I think.  :)

The inspiration/guidance for these covers was this tutorial from 33stitches.  It is very straight forward and easy to follow.
