Bookmark For a Friend

Slow-stitched bookmark.

I worked on this bookmark over the past couple of weeks to gift to my pen-pal who is an avid reader.

I had ordered linen sheets from Bed Threads several years ago (I do not recommend—very prone to thinning and tearing) and they came in small linen bags, so I repurposed one of them to use as the backing. The rest are bits and pieces from my small but growing mound of fabric scraps. I forgot to measure it before mailing, but I think it’s roughly 2.5″ x 6″.

This is the first bookmark I’ve made and it was a learning experience. For the next one, I’m thinking I’ll put in some interfacing or make an opening to slide in a piece of cardstock to give the bookmark some sturdiness.
