Many people use a fabric book cover to carry around their Bibles or other books that they use on a regular basis. Book covers help protect any book you wish to put in it. Covers that have zippers also help to keep all sorts of papers neatly organized and inside the book. Keep papers you use with that book stored with your book inside your book cover, and they will be there whenever you need them without having to search high and low for them.
Dress up an ordinary book with this collection of over twenty free fabric book cover patterns, tutorials, and diy sewing projects gathered from all over the web. (Scroll down the page for the free patterns.)
Free Pattern For Bible Cover Pattern With Zipper
Because this is mostly a quilting blog, we will start our easy peezy envelope pillow cover tutorial with a finished quilted pillow top. The pattern used in this example is the FREE Grow pillow extension pattern.
Now even though this is technically a no-sew project, you may opt to sew the cover to the canvas pouch instead of gluing it. This can be done with a regular needle and thread OR you can use a large, sharp yarn needle and your yarn end to sew it to the pouch. All is outlined below in the pattern. And of couse if you do also sew, you can make your own zipper lining, but this will not be covered in this tutorial.
While this pattern teaches you how to create this pouch with the materials and instructions provided, it does not teach you how to crochet the stitches or sew. Here are the skills and stitches you will need to complete this pattern.
All the instructions you need to make beautiful fabric book covers are right here in this post. But I realize that it might be more convenient for you to have a copy that you can download to your computer to print out and have beside you as you work. You can purchase the ad free Printable Fabric Book Cover Tutorial PDF file for only $5 from my shop. It has this complete step-by-step tutorial with all the accompanying photos.
Hi all, Amy here! If you are a regular on this blog you know we did a series of scrap busting tutorials this year. We used up fabric that you might have had kicking around to make little snack bags, beeswax wraps and produce bags, and this time, we saved the best for last. Call it our Christmas gift to you: a free sewing pattern for a gorgeous, Moroccan inspired floor pouf.

These are fabulous gifts, teacher appreciation presents, and can easily be personalised. (The book sleeve pictured with an embroidered circle design, is an example of how the book sleeve can be personalised. The 88 circle design is a separate circle block design that is NOT included with this pattern, but it can be bought separately and used for many different projects).
The pattern comes with step by step instructions and photos to guide you through the project. It is completed in 2 hoopings. A standard sewing machine function is needed to join the front outer fabric with the front lining (although this can be achieved by hand sewing) and the button is hand sewn on after the project is completed.
Sew a zipper pouch for every occasion and every recipient! Fully lined. No exposed edges, no binding. I love this design, and so will you when you see how practical it is.

This pattern is extremely popular, and it looks like everybody wants to sew it. Yey to that! And since some of you have been asking if it is possible to sew it with a #3 zipper too, let me try to help. Here's what to do:
Download and open your PDF, and use the CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS; not the printable pattern. You'll notice a drawing at the bottom of page 3 - where it says 'Cut a RECTANGLE from both TOP corners'. Here, cut 1" by " ONLY. (not what the instructions in the PDF say) Then stitch the zipper to the fabric using a " seam allowance and it should work out. You're welcome!
THEIR STORY: "I am writing in appreciation to you Annie for your inspiration to make the projects for which you sell patterns. I had made some of your patterns with some success and had a couple of unfinished projects. When the pandemic hit, I had to focus on other things and finished my unfinished projects. To date, I have made 35 items from your patterns. When I learned you are a CPA, I understood the detail and logic that created the patterns with all their wonderful instructions. I have not found "cut on the bias" instructions that succinctly anywhere else. I am chagrined when I see a comment about the price, because the patterns are worth every penny you charge.
The bag needed to fit within the wheels and hardware on her chair. So I set about finding a pattern I could use. The Got Your Back 2.1 was close in size... but I LOVED the front pocket on Out and About. So I bought them both, found some fun fabrics, and started doing the math.
THEIR STORY: "I choose the Backseat Babysitter pattern because I wanted to give a baby gift that would be useful and used for a long period of time. Also, it's a "one of a kind" gift! This is actually my second backseat babysitter bag that I've made. And with the recent announcement of two more additional family members coming in 2022, I'll have this pattern memorized. Ha! When I took the picture in our suburban, I did discover that the seat was a bit larger than the bottom straps allowed. So, in the future, I'll be checking the size of the vehicle seats the backseat babysitter would be used in. It didn't take long for my two year grandson to begin packing this bag with his toys!"
I chose this pattern because when I rearranged my sewing room and placed my Janome under the window, I needed something to cover my machine to protect it from the light and temperate changes. Under Cover was the perfect solution. Not only does it cover my machine, it has enough pockets to carry everything I need when I travel with it and enough padding to protect it from inevitable bumps.
WHAT WE LOVED: One ByAnnie team member said, "I loved how she showed the different angles of the cover and that she took on a pattern that uses so many different ByAnnie elements. She tested herself and it paid off!"
With zipper open, place one edge right side down on the bottom edge of one side of the pillow cover. Make sure the zipper coil faces towards the inside of the pillow and the edge of the zipper tape is flush with the raw edge of the pillow cover. Pin in place.
I have been sewing pillow covers for as long as I can remember. I love to have the option to choose from a variety of fabrics and colors and find it useful to reuse the pillow fills season after season. I have several different versions of pillow covers that I will use depending on the fabric and the use of the pillow. Today I am sharing one of the basics, a zippered pillow cover. These are pillows that I am using in my living room with high traffic and daily use by multiple people, so I want both sides to look finished and they need to be easily removed for washing. Zippers are one of those things that seem a bit tricky to sew and I wanted to create a tutorial that was as simple as possible to follow. I believe you can do it, even if you are a beginner at sewing. Worst case is you can remove the seam and try again. If you are not ready for a zipper, I will be posting a tutorial for an envelope pillow tomorrow. See you then! Lia
