Once I found this yellow mini pompom trim, I knew it would pair perfectly with the floral and bird fabrics in my stash. I started covering my first book, and then realized I wanted to make another one. I love how they look together—I could really see someone covering a whole shelf of fabric books, and it would be too cute! You can also leave off the pompom trim for a more traditional fabric cover.

Let me know if you make one—I’d love to see your version! Tag me on Instagram @LindsaySews so I can admire your pretty books. 

I sewed my book covers on my Baby Lock Ballad sewing machine. This machine comes with all the bells and whistles, and it’s so reliable each and every time I thread it. I don’t have to worry about broken thread, skipped stitches, or tension issues. I just get to step in and do what I love doing…sewing!

If you’re in the market for a sewing machine upgrade, this one is the bees knees. I love my Baby Lock Ballad!
