I returned to school today--much to the relief of my students. :lol: They were wonderful for the subs, but I guess there's no one like their teacher. :wink: It was a slow start, but once I got going, I was fine. Think I'll head to bed early though.
The rest of the books came today, so I can start picking who gets which!
The bookmarks have just muslin in the middle. I make a 9" square of muslin, sew strips onto them, and trim them up to 9" squares. Then I cut that into 3" strips and that's three bookmark tops. I cut 3" by 9" pieces for the back, put right sides together, and sew around using about a 1/8" seam. Then I Steam-A-Seam the opening closed. Then I add the grommets--just the small size--and tassels and beads. There's nothing complicated at all!! :-D
