Welcome to the 9th Day of Last Minute Christmas Gifts!  With the last post being a “bigger” project, I’m back today with another quick and easy one – Pretty Fabric Bookmarks.

Use some pretty fabric to make these bookmarks! They are quick and easy, great to make for a last minute gift. Link to tutorial in post.

When I started this series, Pam from Threading My Way, put a link in the comments to her lovely fabric bookmark tutorial! I went and checked it out and thought it would be a great one to try out and add to this series…

Now her bookmark has a pretty stitched flower on it.. but I decided to try her suggestion in the tutorial to use a patterned fabric…

I scrounged through my storage tubs and found some scraps… and in no time I had these made up:

Believe me when I say the longest part of this project is fraying the end! The rest is so quick and easy!

I did make a few changes.. I used interfacing for the first one.. then decided to skip it for the other two.. and I also top stitched…

Now I don’t read “real” books anymore.. I read ebooks.. but I have plenty of friends who still read real ones.. I pinched a few from Mum to use for these pictures..

Which made me think I should read this series again by Beverly Lewis…

Might have to wait until I come back to Oz next July, because I am running out of time this visit…

I know I’ll be making more of these, and I also want to try the stitched flower one day as well, rather than just using feature fabric…

Oh, you can also use special fabric for your friends – cute cat fabric for a cat lover… or like the one above – buttons for someone who loves to sew…

There are so many possibilities… go check it out!

  1. Good idea & would probably last longer than a papery one. I just don’t get any real reading time these days, like I did before ‘retirement’. Take care.

  3. Your bookmarks look great in the patterned fabric, Joy. Ha, ha… yes, the fraying would be the longest part of the process.

    Sorry to take so long to comment. I have lots of blog reading to catch up on.
