DIY Fabric Book Covers Under Construction
Just thought you would like to see the next batch of book covers "in the works".
Working on : Pokemon, Dr. Who, Chicago Blackhawks, and Guardians of the Galaxy.
The picture shows cover pieces, inside front and back panels, and pockets that have been cut out.
Here's a run down on what it takes for this 1st phase of making fabric book covers.
- Select the best image from your fabric and center it. I have a temp plate created for both the spiral and the composition book sizes. A crossbar marks the center of the temp plate, so I just draw around the temp plate once I have the best part of the design.
- Cut out the traced patterns.
- Trace and cut out the side panels. I usually cut the front panel from a solid color and the back panel is from the cover fabric. Again, I have a temp plate for this.
- Trace and cut out an image from the cover fabric to make a pocket. Again, I have a temp plate for this.
