How to Sew Easy, Quilted Fabric Bookmarks (a scrap friendly project!)

Whenever my kids ask me what they can give me for a gift, I say handmade bookmarks; partly because I know their budget is nonexistent, haha, and partly because I really neeeeed bookmarks. As both a reader and a homeschool mom, there are books all overt the place, so bookmarks are a great gift for anyone, really. There are so many great DIY bookmark ideas, but I just love to make these little quilted ones!

These fabric bookmarks are very simple and can be made with scraps. They’re so easy to personalize with different fabrics for everyone in your life, and you can sew up a big batch of them in an evening. Below, you’ll find the bookmark sewing tutorial in two forms —- a video tutorial, as well as written instructions with photos.

Simple Quilting Projects that AREN'T Big Quilts!

Sewing an entire quilt can be intimidating, especially for a beginner who’s just getting their feet wet! The good news is, quilting on a small project involves the same quilting processes as making a big quilt. The cutting, piecing, top stitching and the binding go together the same way on small quilt projects as they do on a big quilt. You can learn to quilt on small projects, just as easily as you can on big ones.

Maybe you have the itch to quilt something, but don’t have the time, the money, or the fabric stash to make an entire quilt, or maybe you just want to sew something up in an evening or a weekend. This list of small quilting projects is for you! Here are easy, beginner quilting projects that aren’t big quilts!
