Product Information

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?). This is another nice thing about working on linen. 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. If you have any questions about making this bookmark, add them to the comments below and I’ll be happy to answer them. If you have any of your own tips to share about making hand-embroidered bookmarks, feel free to chime in below, too! The final step in making your own hand-embroidered bookmark is to trim away the excess fabric right around the whole bookmark. try decorative elastic bands (I didn’t have one at the time, but these printed elastics look so much fun),

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. 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.

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. Bookmarks make fantastic gifts for the readers in your life. If you have a birthday celebration looming on the horizon or a graduation gig right around the corner, you can whip up an embroidered bookmark in no time flat and head to the party prepared, with a perfect little gift.

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.

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.
