We all have books all at home. We often reread some of them, some are not. Unfortunately, the most beloved of them usually rub rapidly, covers come into disrepair, binding begins to crumble, and we no longer shine from happiness, seeing them on the shelf. How do we extend the life of your favorite books? I suggest you make a cover from the fabric for the book with your own hands. Taking advantage of this idea, you will save your favorite bookpoints safely and be able to highlight them on the shelf among other books.
Required materials and tools:
- the cloth;
- scissors;
- threads and needle or sewing machine;
- line;
- pencil;
- Button or magnetic clasp.
We make the necessary measurements
To start sewing a fabric cover for a book with your own hands, we need to make several simple dimensions. Take the book for which you would like to make this comfortable case and measure its height and width. Transfer the measurements to the wrong side of the fabric. Please note the width must be doubled, plus it needs to be added to the width of the root of the book. For example, if the cover width is 10 cm, and the root - 3 cm, we measure 10 cm tissue + 3 cm + 10 cm = 23 cm. Do not forget to add 1 cm on the seams from all sides. That is, the width will be 25 cm, and L + 2 cm length. This is not at all difficult, moreover, it is described in detail in the photo.
Cut the details
Let's cut the main part of the cover. Set it up to the side. In order to make a cover from a fabric for a book with your own hands, we need to cut some more elements. First, we need internal flaps in which the paper cover will be inserted, and secondly, we need a clasp. So, cut the piece of fabric equal to the length of the book + 2 cm and the cover width (in my case, the width is 10 cm, dina - 15 + 2 cm). Cut this part in half, as shown in the photo. These will be our flaps. Claw width Select on your discretion. Its length should be greater than the width of the root (> 3 cm, in the example - 6 cm), do not forget to add allowances to the seams. Cut two identical parts for clasp.
