Instructions
Start by choosing the fabric scraps you want to use for your bookmark. Consider selecting complementary colors or patterns that reflect your personal style.
Measure and cut your fabric scraps into a rectangle shape based on your book measurements, ensuring it's long enough to fit your desired bookmark size.
Cut a few small fabric pieces in different shapes (rectangles, squares, hearts, ovals etc)
Cut two pieces of double sided fusible interfacing in the size of the bookmark fabric.
Take the front piece and place the small scraps on top, all facing up.
Sew the edges of the small scraps onto the front fabric. You can add a stabilizer or double sided tape under the appliques to help with sewing them neatly.
Sandwich the interfacing between the front piece and the backing piece of fabric.
Trim the top with pinking shears.
Add a couple of folded ribbons to the top.
Press to fuse.
Sew around the bookmark with 1/4" seam allowance.
Trim the rest of the seams with pinking shears.
Sew parallel lines about 1/2" apart along the bookmark to finish it.
