How To Make A Removable Book Cover

As you can see from earlier posts I often make covers for my books, diaries, folders, etc. Here is a really easy technique for making a removable cover.

Here is the prepared fabric. This has been hand dyed and printed but you could use any fabric. You do not need the wadding unless you are intending to quilt the fabric.

Hem the two side edges

Measure the fabric around the book, making sure the book is closed and fold over the two side edges to make the flaps

Cut a piece of lining fabric. Place this on top of the cover (right sides together) and stitch along the top and bottom edges.

Turn through to the right side. All rough edges are now beautifully covered.
