Sustainable Beginner Sewing Level 1 - Book Cover - Us Warehouse [bBST4MiX]

Make a book cover as magical as your current read.
In this beginner-friendly sewing class, you’ll learn how to make an adjustable, reusable book cover. The book cover protects your books and lets you read your fairy smut (or whatever you’re into) in peace. It’s a great intro project! Simple but satisfying. 

We’ll guide you through each step of the process, from choosing fabric to adjusting your cover to fit a range of book sizes. Whether you're covering a standard paperback or a chunky hardcover, you’ll leave with a custom creation that fits like a glove.

No prior sewing experience needed, but you'll need to bring your focus, we won't be taking any reading breaks! By the end of class, you’ll feel more confident using a sewing machine, walk away with a finished book cover, and be ready to stitch up more for every title in your TBR pile.
