About to make these as my first project with my first sewing machine! Thank you for actually showing yourself using the machine! Others have just skipped that part
That's so great to hear! Yes, seeing the actual machine in action makes such a difference for beginners. You've picked a perfect first project - can't wait to see how it turns out! 🪡 ✨ Check out my free Learn to Sew course to help you get started! www.stacey-lee.com/2021/05/11/sewing-with-stacey-lee/
That's exactly what I came here to say. I've been looking at lots of videos recently, trying to learn to sew. Many of them make even the simplest things seem difficult. This video makes thinks look not so scary.
Hubby said can you whip me up a book mark. I saw this and it's so much nicer than the regular type. Thank you for sharing it. He loved it and so do I 😊
I have a hard time turning items inside out when through small openings ... so I had a random thought and it worked! I sewed the 2 squares on 2 sides only. Doesn't matter which 2, just that they are adjacent. I turned it inside out and on the 2 remaining sides, I attached the triangle piece and sewed it on. I then turned the triangle to the flip side and it was done with the raw edges under the triangle. Next time, I think I'll overlock the raw edges for even cleaner finish.
Made these for the ladies in my quilt class. They loved them. Made some with and some without interfacing. Most liked without. To each his own! Lol! I loved it both ways. Made extra for me.
Really appreciate this comment because I wanted to make some fast and skipped the interfacing and I LOVE THEM!!! Thanks to you! Thanks Stacey for this great tutorial!!
Simply sharing that I made my first bookmark yesterday for myself to ensure that I knew what I was doing when gifting these. Absolutely love them. They went together well and quickly. They are wonderfully much sturdier than I anticipated -- my first time to use fusible bonding. Used my fabric left over from making a quilt top (literally has taken me at least 3 years to figure it out) honoring my deceased 19yo Ragdoll Skye Boy Kitty who I rescued when he was 6yo - my BFF 😢❤ Thank you, Stacey! Am excited to make and gift these.
I love the way you learn people to sew. Its lovely to listen to and you have a very relaxing voice 😁😁 It maket it easy for everyone to follow i think, not to fast, not to slow 😉 I do sew for many years now, never learn it officieel, but do it in my own house style 😂😂 And if it gose wrong i try again.... And again... Its like a puzzle. Love wen i can find the solution 😊 When i see your way of sewing, it is absolutely perfect for my... Because i can learn so much more, especially from the "finishing" of the out line, ect. You have absolutely beautiful and gifted hands. Thank you for the opportunity and sharing of your gift, passion and patience ( that we maby need a lot 😂😂😂) with all of us ❤️ Tink 🤗
Thank you so much Stacey, I really really enjoyed watching you create this beautiful and unique bookmark. It’s cute and adorable and something that anyone would love ❤❤❤❤ to receive. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤❤
How fun - I am just getting back into sewing - it's been a few years! SO...this will be a perfect way to start and perfect little gifts for friends/family. Thank you.
That’s awesome, Donna! 😊 I’m so glad this is a perfect project to get back into sewing with! ❤️ It’ll make such lovely gifts for friends and family. Have fun, and welcome back to sewing! ✂️🎁
Fab tutorial, love the way you did this with the overhead angle, it makes it really easy to see exactly what you’re doing. Thank you Stacey & Niels! Xx
This looks like fun. I’m making a back-to-school “kit” w/ a book pouch, tissue wallet, crayon pouch (for markers), all in a folding tote bag. They’ll be in matching fabric of school colors. This is a perfect addition to the kit. Thank you!!! Oops! Forgot that there will also be a chapstick cozy. . . . I just want to be sure she has everything she might need before she knows she needs it.
That sounds like such a lovely idea, Barbra! 🎄 I’m so glad this project is one of your favorites! 😊 I’m sure your Christmas cards will be extra special with them inside! ✂️❤️
Thank you for the do-over. I really appreciate seeing the process more closely in this one. The camera angle is spot on! Love it. Have a great weekend and I hope you all feel better. 🥰
I made 20 of these bookmarks as Christmas gifts for our quilt guild members and they loved them, Stacey! Thank you for sharing this useful project idea. 😊
Love this video! I am teaching my 9 year old granddaughter to sew and I think this is something she is going to enjoy making. I am also an avid reader and may need a couple of these for myself.
I just stumbled across your channel this morning. Love this bookmark! I can see so much potential in personalizing it for someone as well with embroidery or even fabric markers. I just subscribed to your channel. I’ll be scoping it out tonight!
No need for best guess with your 1/4" foot. The 1/4" is where the first notch is. When it reaches the edge of your piece you are confident that is 1/4".
I did an 1/8 inch stitching line along the folded side of the triangle piece to give it a matching finished edge. Was wondering why you did your pressing on the side of the Cut & Press that is for rotary cutting? Doesn't the heat harm the surface?
That's great! You should make it however you like. I prefer my way so the bookmark sits nicer on the book. I use a pressing mat, not a cutting mat to iron on 😊
The pdf pattern on Etsy is marked as sold out. I'd like to buy the digital download for the inserts please. I just finished batch making these for gifts and I love them! A great scrap buster, easy to make, cute to give.
I couldn't find the link that takes me to the print out for the insert. Is it still available? I saw a link for the pattern, but just wanted the insert as I have already cut out my pieces.

No need for best guess with your 1/4" foot. The 1/4" is where the first notch is. When it reaches the edge of your piece you are confident that is 1/4".
Thanks so much, I will have to check that out next time I am turning a corner 😊

Loved this tutorial Stacey. I can’t wait to make some for Christmas stocking stuffers.
Thanks so much Debbie, they are perfect stocking stuffers 😊
Hiya would you suggest medium or light interfacing?
I would use medium 🤗
I did an 1/8 inch stitching line along the folded side of the triangle piece to give it a matching finished edge. Was wondering why you did your pressing on the side of the Cut & Press that is for rotary cutting? Doesn't the heat harm the surface?
That's great! You should make it however you like. I prefer my way so the bookmark sits nicer on the book. I use a pressing mat, not a cutting mat to iron on 😊
Gotta love Christian books!
I will be making this bookmark for a Christian book myself!

Hi, Sorry about that, I have relisted! Thanks for watching ❤
love it !
Thanks so much Nazia 😊
I cannot find this interfacing :( Any other ideas?
Hi, any interfacing will do, it's just to give it a little more structure 😊
I Love this because I read a lot.. Do you have a video for the heart shaped coaster?
I am glad you like it Roses. Yes I do have a video for the heart coaster, you'll find it here: th-cam.com/video/gabZtaaorpg/w-d-xo.html
Is it a problem, if the Interface is the same size as the fabric ?
I couldn't find the link that takes me to the print out for the insert. Is it still available? I saw a link for the pattern, but just wanted the insert as I have already cut out my pieces.
Hi, it's only available as part of my PDF pattern. 😊
CUTE
Thanks Lisa! I appreciate you watching my video and leaving a comment 😊
What fabric is the white one that's used underneath?
It's iron on interfacing: amzn.to/3ZnM6ww
Your iron is adorable! Is it a sewing crafts type?
Hey Kristy, yes it is. It's made by Oliso and they make two sizes a mini and a pro size amzn.to/3N7b63U
Ty for sharing, I made 1; it’s not perfect but I love 💕 it bcuz I made it. I’m a beginner. 😊
