SEWING TOGETHER

1. Take the two pieces of fabric and put right sides together.
2. Stitch together as a pillow case leaving one end open. Use about a 3/8 inch seam.
3. Turn right side out
4. Press seams so edges are flat and even
5. Lay Bible on 'pillowcase' to be sure you are within your needed size for the Bible.
6. Take Pellon and insert into 'pillowcase' (I used the iron on kind)
and press to secure it to fabric.
7. Take the raw edge and fold over to hem and stitch closed.
8. If you are going to decorate the front with beads, momograms or other embellishments now is the time to do those. Wrap the cover around your Bible and mark where the front and center will be and attach your embellishments.
For embellishments be sure you know which is going to be the top and which is the bottom so you put them on the right direction..... (Yes, I had to seam rip a bit on this one. LOL)
