Sew A Quilted Bible Cover

I’ve had this on my to-make list for a while and I love the end result! These fabric Bible or Book covers would be a great gift idea and a way to personalize special books. There are so many possibilities for making these your own and bonus: this is a great scrap fabric project!

This is a wonderful gift. And what a great way to gift someone with a Bible and a handmade cover for it. Double blessing. Thank you for sharing this.

[@RooneySewingPatterns]

I hadn't thought of it this way, what a great point of view :)

[@hannahjustin7583]

I love God. Thanks for sharing this how-to!

[@RooneySewingPatterns]

Glad it was helpful! :)

[@aftereason]

Thank you! I've been wanting to do this for my orthodox study bible but never knew where to start (new to sewing)

[@RooneySewingPatterns]

Oh yay! I'm glad that this came at a good time. This would be a great beginner project :)

[@jhpreemie]

Both came out so beautiful, I especially loved the needle point results, it was so delicate. I have hoops for my 2 daughters and they practice with plastic crewels so far. I look forward to having them begin with a real crewel, their own thimble, then maybe use their own art to create. (I use my husband's TH-cam account lol) - Evelyn, nice to meet you

[@RooneySewingPatterns]

I love how you are leading your daughters in this craft so far!

[@christiej5452]

Thank you for the tips and idea ! I have inspire journal bible and I love it so much. I want to take care of the cover and this is the best way. My bible is soft cover

[@RooneySewingPatterns]

I think this would definitely work for a soft cover and keep it protected. I made a cover for my husband's soft cover Bible years ago and it has held up great :)

[@fifaitalien]

Soso beautiful ! Thanks for the nice idea 🥰

[@RooneySewingPatterns]

Aw thank you :)

[@michaelwiebe4282]

So beautiful! Such a blessing!

[@suzettewoolley5397]

Beautiful sweetheart. Such a great project to make or gift. I did a felted bookcover years ago with cut out felt wolf howling at the cut out moon against cut out felt trees all hand sewed on. It is still going strong allbeit looking a bit old. I love the embroidery as I am currently loving all and every thing embroidered. God bless you.❤

[@RooneySewingPatterns]

Oh a felted cover sounds beautiful! I have never ventured into felting. Maybe one day :)
Thanks for sharing!

[@lindsjohnson]

Thank you!

[@RooneySewingPatterns]

Happy to share! Thanks for watching :)

[@takeupyourcrown6407]

I love this idea! Thank you for sharing! I am just starting to learn how to sew and embroider. I am enjoying your videos and looks forward to accomplishing my first project!

[@RooneySewingPatterns]

How exciting! I love hearing that you're learning to sew and embroider :)

[@batyaseguin6307]

What an excellent idea !!

[@RooneySewingPatterns]

Oh thank you!

[@SarahStJohn-fl9by]

This is beautiful. The fake leather on my Bible cover is peeling off and this would be perfect ❤️

[@RooneySewingPatterns]

I'm so glad that this is a helpful solution :)

[@quietlife7186]

❤❤❤

[@meliB32]

I absolutely love this! May I ask where you got the beaded ring? That is gorgeous 😊

[@RooneySewingPatterns]

Oh thank you! I got this at a small shop in Goleta, CA called Macher :)

[@saraharmendariz4936]

This is soo gorgeous 😍 you create my favorite sewing content and I actually typed in the search bar, "how sew a Bible cover" only to find you posted one a little while ago 🫶🏽
These are just stunning. I love the linen embroidered one so much! My bible isn't a hardcover it's a soft cover. Do you think I can add some cardboard or something in for stability into the cover?

[@RooneySewingPatterns]

Oh you are so sweet, Sarah!! I love how timely it is that you searched this :)
For the soft cover, you could do it either way: add cardboard or a thick chip board in between the fabrics or you could even omit the cardboard and the cover would still work on your soft Bible. I created a cover for my husband's soft Bible years ago and it is still holding up!

[@saraharmendariz4936]

🫶🏽oh really, you did? That is amazing that it is holding up well! Okay I will play around with it, thank you for getting back to me 💕

[@selenaariana7028]

How do we use the specific measurements we have to make it fit our Bible? Is the inner flap quilted as well?
