WolfteverGunleather Report post Posted July 23, 2020 Made this bible cover for my granddaughter. Frame is Horween Essex in natural 5/5.5 ounce, inlay is kidskin in robin's egg blue, lined with veg tan horse front. Hand stitched using .8 Tiger thread. She loves it. There appears to be a difference in color between the front and back, but there's not. I took the front picture, then got interrupted by one of my dogs. When I came back a few minutes later and took a picture of the back, apparently the sunlight was different. I didn't notice it till later on after I had already given her the cover.

Alaisiagae Report post Posted July 23, 2020 It looks great! The curves of the brown leather on the front are a really nice addition. And that blue is so vivid! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YinTx Report post Posted July 23, 2020 That is really nice, and unique. I've been working on a bible cover design, and thinking about how to go about attaching the silk ribbon place marker. Did you add it yourself, or was it a part of the bible? YinTx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I take a length of ribbon, about the length of the book cover plus about 7cm. I fold each end and glue the last 1 cm of each end back on itself. One end I glue centrally in the book cover, along the top. When I then sew around the book cover the ribbon gets sewn in place too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am working on a zip around cover, and I'd like to have one in there nicely, but I don't have it settled in my mind how it would go and if I'd like how it looks and functions...
