These are super cute. I bought 3 coordinating fabrics (2 sets. One for girls, one for guys) and am going to play around and make some. Too cute. Thanks for sharing!!
Great little tutorial! Thank you for sharing. Fantastic project for small scraps. I liked that you showed how to layer the sandwich and how to turn it out correctly. (It's not unknown for my batting to end up on the outside, lol! 😂 I should make a diagram for myself of this, as I will forget if I don't get round to it for a while😂
I was looking for a sewing project that my 10 year old daughter could make for her teachers as an end of year present and this popped up in my notifications! So pleased as it is really lovely, easy, scrap busting and easy to personalise. What more could I ask for?! Thank you!! Xx
I love your videos! Sorry if this is a strange question but how do you easily sew a 1/4” seam when the excess fabric under the top piece is covering the seam guidelines on the needle plate? I’ve made a few bookmarks and I end up eyeballing it. Tell me your secrets 😂
Usually there’s a spot on the presser foot that is a good guide. Or on some, the edge of the presser foot is 1/4”. But honestly, after you’ve been sewing for awhile, eye balling it is pretty darn accurate 😁
You can buy a special 1/4 inch foot for your machine I’m a patchworker so use mine all the time worth it. You can also mark the 1/4 inc with a build up of tape
When you quilt the top, can I just sew regularly and make lines? Sorry I am not sure the difference between quilting and sewing and am still a beginner sewer. Do I have to change thread or foots to do the top design ?
Yes, on small things like this, your regular foot will work fine. You can use a walking foot on larger projects though, and it makes quilting much easier! It just keeps all the layers moving along together without bunching.
My tutorials do assume people know how to use their sewing machine, it’s true. I’ve had many say they appreciate not wasting time by showing every seam, but I’m sure that’s not for everyone! I’m very thankful for the 40K subscribers I do have and this is what works for me (and them) for now :)
@@PinCutSewI’ve just discovered your channel I’m from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 and love your calm way you teach. Easy to follow. I’m up way to late checking out your videos. I sell books on eBay sadly don’t get time to read much but going to make some of these plus the book covers to give as gifts. Great way to use up scraps. Well done. I love that you don’t have sewing as when I’m watching videos at 4am I’m not disturbing others by the loud noise of the machine
your improv way of sewing has opened up so many ideas for me. thank you
Nikki I loved making these book marks thanks
Very nice. Love the design of the one in the tutorial. "does anyone have my sissors?" That made me chuckle. Thanks for the video.
Very sweet idea as a quick gift. Easy to put in envelope also if posting so as not to be too expensive to post. Thank you
Another great quick and simple project. Thank you for sharing this. I will definitely be making some!
Another cute idea. I love this. It would be so neat to include one of these in a birthday card!
These bookmarks are so cute. I’ve already made a few with several more in progress. Another great video! 👏❤️👏
I have a huge bag of these that I made Pre pandemic for craft fairs. I used all scraps for them. They turned really nice.
So many fun tutorials to try! This one is on my list.
Super cute especially with all your batting scraps, fast make
This is adorable!!! Thank you so much for sharing your way to make bookmarks.
Yay! Perfect Thanksgiving gifts to slip inside of my greeting cards and send off. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much I really really enjoyed watching you create this cute bookmark. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤

Oh fun! I’m glad you found this useful :)
What a nice idea! You put together some pretty complex techniques simply. I’m going to look at your other tutorials. And make some bookmarks today!
So glad this inspired you! :)
These are great- I’ve just found you and, your content is GREAT! Thank you
You always offer great videos - just for ideas. 😊
Nice job I love to see you make things 😊

I didn't take your scissors.
😂
But seriously, I loved this bookmark idea. Lovely! I am going to make one for my son who loves to read.
Nice way to use scraps
Amazing work! I love this bookmark template! I really enjoyed your class, thank you very much! 🧶🧵🪡 📚📖🌸 💗
I wish you would have shown the sewing...especially the quilting.
Like this idea! Thanks!

Thank you for your tutorial. It is really great. I have been sewing up my first bookmark. My question: when you say to top stitch, do you mean 1/4" ?
Top stitching is closer, about 1/8” is perfect 👍🏻
@@PinCutSew Thank you:)
Hi! I love this! Can you share what fabric you used for these?
Hi! Are you asking about one fabric in particular? The peace signs I got at Joann! The rest are cotton scraps, all from Hobby Lobby. :)
Are your fabric edges raw or finished? Thank you.
Nikki do you think I could use good felt for the batting?
Sure!
@@PinCutSew thank you!
Can you use fusible fleece in place of the quilt batting?
You sure can 👍🏻
Could I use the iron on fusible fleece instead of batting? I’ve found that’s easiest for me to work with as a beginner. :)
Sure!
Can u use felt for the enterfacing or bating?
Sure! That should work just fine.
Can you make these without batting?
You can but they’ll be floppy. I would try to put something inside, even if it’s just a piece of flannel or something.
Which roller cutter are you using?
It's just Fiskars 👍
@@PinCutSew thank you.
I can’t imagine using something so think as a bookmark, especially for library books.
I can't imagine what you are saying🤷♀️
Wow... imagine actually showing us the sewing process.
to do a propoer tutorial you need to show every step incluing the sewing part. and would maybe get more fallowers.
