How to Sew the Corners of a Homemade Book Cover

Video Transcript

"Now we're going to sew the 4 corners of our flaps. As you can see, we marked here. We marked on the flap and then we ran the line onto the front of the cover. You have a nice mark and line that up. Put the needle right on the line and back up a bit to knot it and then sew right over. Right down the line and over the flap. Just give it a back and forth just to give it a little bit of a knot and a reinforcement there. Do that for all 4 corners. If you'd like, you can pin the corner to hold it in place. Put the needle on, reverse it to knot it, follow the line exactly, go over the edge of the flap, and reverse a few time to make that nice and sturdy. Now, you'll trim all your threads so that you don't have a lot of threads hanging off. Then we'll clip our corners and turn the book cover."
