NEW on Cosmopolitan Cornbread! I have had a lot of people asking for a sewing tutorial on how to make a Custom Bible Cover. Well, here it is! Not only do I have a video of the entire process, I also wrote a text version, AND provided a free PDF of the entire thing, which you can download and print. See it here: cosmopolitancornbread.com/how-to-sew-a-custom-bible-cover/
You say you’re not a seamstress, but you are!! Look at what you sew!! And without a pattern! Many who claim to sew have to have a pattern to sew anything!! Beautiful cover!
Thank you so much Constance ❣️ I just completed my study Bible cover. Hopefully my kitty, who likes to chew on the corners of my books, will leave it alone now.🙏
I just found this and I made my first cover. Your pattern is exact. Fit my Bible perfectly. Thank you. Getting ready to make my second one. Thanks for sharing.
I love this! I’ve been admiring it for while. Now, I’m going to attempt to make one for myself. My most favorite Bible needs a new, beautiful cover. Thanks Constance 💜🙏🏻
I just made one after watching your video. It took two tries but I love how it turned out. My bible is now covered in a beautiful lemon fabric. Thanks for the tutorial!
Looked pretty proficient to me❣️ My grandmother was a seamstress, having designed and sewn all the original costumes for Silver Dollar City many, many, many years ago. She could also recover sofas and chairs, made custom drapes for Weaver's furniture in Branson and Hollister, etc; all that to say it was great watching you sew without having to pin every seam down before ironing and sewing. Grandma would have been proud of you❣️❣️
This is an excellent tutorial. I added a small loop to the front edge of the cover and a loop large enough to slip over my hand to the back cover. By sliding the large loop through the smaller one, I can easily carry the Bible without it popping open and dumping my notes.
Thankyou so much for sharing this beautiful cover with us!!! I can't wait to make one tor myself, my husband, my children and my mum! 😍😍 Now just to try to find some fabric as beautiful as yours!!:)
I just love everything you create, sewing, woodworking, gardening, antiquing. I Love it all. I love your sewing videos. I have made 4 of your aprons. You are awesome and such a hard worker. Love you.
My Mom was a seamstress and yes, Sunday dresses were usually made overnight and I can still hear her peddling that Swinger sewing machine. Sewing was her passion and her embroidery work was incredibly beautiful. I tried to take an interest in seeing but as it went, Mom would end up finishing everything I started and it tore me up bc she was so talented and I had no interest. Years later I inherited a newer version of her many sewing machines and it sat unused for years. I really didn’t know what I was doing with a sewing machine I simply could not use, so sadly I gave it away and did have some regret. 😔 I love your covers and I think you can add some of those covers to your Etsy shop? I’m sure you’d sell out quick! Hope you’re feeling better and stronger each day! 🌻🌻🌻
I just happened on your channel and your name is what got me! I love it! Plus I’ve been looking for a man idea for a cover for my bible. How serendipitous 😊 And, I have extra ticking fabric! So it’s meant to be!
I was just looking at ordering new bible covers this morning. Wow what timing! I will be making the cover you demonstrated this evening. Thank you SO much!
Hi, Constance!!How pretty your cover is!! I love the sunflowers 🌻. The pocket on the front is so nice. This video is truly so helpful showing us how to make something so pretty for our bibles or hard cover books. Thanks for sharing. Blessings to you. ❤❤❤
Just finished watching you make your Bible cover it is so pretty I have been wanting to make covers for some of my books and now I know how. You made it so simple I don't have no idea why I was making it so hard thank you
I am going to make some of these Bible covers for our youth group's silent auction fund raiser. I am also going to make some of your wrap around farm aprons. Thank you so much for this video.
Thank you so much for this tutorial I made his for my bible he second I saw it I now subscribed to you and I honestly love this pattern more than others thank you this coming from a 12 yr old sewer crocheter knitter and painter 😁❤️
An awesome tutorial Constance. I do appreciate the time you took to show us how to make your bible covers, they are unique and special because you made them. I am going to work on one for my Messianic Jewish Family bible as soon as I can, I have to get material.
Thank you! I watched several other videos before finding yours. They made it so complicated! I’m experienced at sewing but I still like simple. I followed your instructions and my Bible cover fits perfectly!
Hello my dear, your such a great teacher 🙂 by the way I made your Orange pound cake today. It’s yummy 😋 I haven’t sewn since my children were little about 25 - 30 years ago.
Thanks for sharing it looks great you are a clever lady. your instruction was easy to follow even a person like me who do not sew could do this thanks again,
Loved the video. I have that exact iron!! I just rearranged my guest room/craft room yesterday so my work table is under the double windows for more light and watching my little world on the cul de sac! Your cover may be my first project of the year 😊
Thanks so much for sharing this. I like the idea; it would make a great birthday or Christmas gift. My best friend loves sunflowers - I bet she would love this...come to think of it, her daughter raises sunflowers to sell. Maybe I should make her one before we go visit next week, since I missed her birthday last month. 🙂
This is so cute! You make it look so easy, your video is calming just watching it. Love your kitty popping in every now and then. My daughter just bought each of her family members big kjv bibles from dollar tree, so I'd like to make covers for them. Thank you for sharing. I'm definitely going to check out some of your other videos.
I saw this video this morning that popped up asking for a pattern for a Bible cover. I need one as my cover needs to be better due to it being sticky at times as it's not real leather. Thanks for your help.
Thanks Constance for another sewing treat, I followed along and made one for my Bible...my mistake was I made the pocket on front too long, still cute though. ❤

That's great!

I’m one of those that have to have a pattern, I’m 100% left-brained😂! But Constance has come to the rescue of us left-brained people 🥰!
Thank you for not editing out your mistakes, it actually helps me.
Thank you, I can't wait to try this for our new Bibles. My husband will be so happy.
Thank you so much Constance ❣️ I just completed my study Bible cover. Hopefully my kitty, who likes to chew on the corners of my books, will leave it alone now.🙏
This tutorial is better than some I see from folks who do nothing but sewing tutorials. Thank you. This is on my to do list. EXCELLENT!
I just made this Bible cover for the second time. Fits like a glove. Thank you!

You are so welcome!
I love it so much! I was thinking that the contrasting colors of the sunflower fabric and your ironing board cover fabric was so pretty too.😄
I love this! Love the sunflower fabric too! Something about the sound of a sewing machine stitching makes me want to go sew things really bad, lol.
Thank you so much for the easy directions! I wanted a Bible cover and just couldn’t find one I like and this is perfect. I can’t wait to make it!
