What inspired this felt embroidered bookmark For the edge treatment, I worked a buttonhole stitch all around the outside of the bookmark, using three strands of watermelon red floss. Then I whipped the buttonhole stitch with two strands of white floss.

Here’s the whipped edge of the buttonhole stitch, which mimics the striped effect on the lettering. Trim the edge The dots are worked in padded satin stitch in white using one strand of floss, and outlined in watermelon red in stem stitch, using two strands of floss.

If your design is perfectly squared up – if you were careful in the set-up and drew your design line along the fabric grain – you can use the weave of the fabric to help place your stitches. Just follow the line formed by the weave of the fabric to judge the length of each stitch.Bring the needle with the new thread up inside the last buttonhole stitch, and continue buttonholing, working the first stitch over that tiny anchor stitch. You’ll cover it right up and the join will be invisible. A light box or a sunny window will help, if you’re tracing the design. If you’re confident in your drawing or writing skills or you want a design that looks spontaneous, you can draw the design right onto the fabric if you want. In this case, I just wrote my words onto the fabric and drew a couple dots at each end.

This bookmark is finished using a sewing machine, so you will need one of those to hand, however, never fear if you do not have one but you’re already a dab hand at sewing then you can do so by hand. The lovely thing about this bookmark is there are no set colours, you can use any colour you like for the fabric and likewise for the thread, meaning you could make a few (birthday present stash anyone?). Have you ever wondered what to do with those small scraps of fabric left over from larger embroidery and sewing projects? One way to use them up is to make bookmarks! If you’re using a fusible interfacing other than Mistyfuse, it should be the lightest possible fusible interfacing you can find. Follow the manufacturers instructions to bond the two pieces of fabric together.

First, you need to end the old thread. To do this, just take a tiny stitch right over the last buttonhole stitch, to anchor it. try decorative elastic bands (I didn’t have one at the time, but these printed elastics look so much fun),

Felt crafts are cheap, durable, and effortless to make. Felt is versatile; you can make so much more than kids crafts. The final step in making your own hand-embroidered bookmark is to trim away the excess fabric right around the whole bookmark.This is one reason why I just love to use linen! Because of its easily visible straight weave, you can mark out straight lines on the fabric by simply holding your pencil at a low angle on the fabric and pulling right along the weave of the fabric. Your pencil will follow the little groove between the fabric threads, and you’ll end up with an outline that is perfectly squared up with the grain of the fabric.

If you run out of embroidery floss while you’re making your way around the bookmark, never fear! Changing to a new thread is easy! Measure an averaged or smaller-sized book, double it and add an extra 1-1 1/2 inch for sewing. I used 3.5 inches sized book, so I’ve cut 3.5″ x2 + 1 1/2″ = 8 1/2 inch elastic.
