Great project idea for kids! The links are pretty awesome, too. There’s still a couple days left in “random act of kindness” month, and the folks at the local nursing home will appreciate these:)
ah i LOVE scraps and i just made a rag rug (over at moda bake shop) that would be AWESOME with scraps! can’t wait to see what else!!
I love the idea of the button – cute and very practical!
Awesome gifts for the avid reader!
Green! Green Fat Quarters! Oh please, let this be the week for me! I heart green! Call it a mild obsession.
Wonderful idea… they would make a great gift.
I love these. Our family finds book stores where ever we travel. I love the embroidered book marks.
great idea for my little sewer who loves to read as much as me!
I love to read and I love to be able to find my place when I have to put the book down.
These are great!
So cute…what a good use of FQ’s!
Oh, I’m thinking end-of-year teacher gifts!
Super cute bookmarks! I love the buttons!
Great way to recycle and use up scraps!
I’m always dog-earring my book pages. I know, not good! Thanks for idea!
Those are too cute!!! It would make a nice gift along with a book!
I love making fabric bookmarks! And they make nice little gifts.
Those are so cute! I never thought to make bookmarks before!
Oooh, I like the paper ones from How About Orange. I’ve never been a big fan of fabric bookmarks since they tend to be thicker. I might have to make me some of the paper ones though.
LOVE the bookmarks! What a very cute idea!
This might just be the birthday present that I’ve been looking for…coming in March.
This is such a great idea! I love to read like crazy and I often just us a scrap piece of paper. This would be a much better thing and then I get some visual beauty also. I have many people I could give these to. Thanks for all of your great ideas. Now if only I could win one of the giveaways. I was the wrong Kristen Yesterday. Oh well.
Wow, those are so neat looking! I’m going to give them a try!
sew cute! Love them. What a great way to use up some of those scraps.
These really are super cute and a great use of leftover fabric.
The buttons are such a great idea. These are fun and pretty.
Very cute way to use scraps!
Oh my!! how come I didn’t think of that…all these antique buttons I have and keep collecting…very nice thing to do with them…hmmmmm…one for my mother, whose immense button collection I’ve purloined!
These are so cute. What a great way to use leftover fabric.
I’ve been waiting for a good bookmark tutorial. I can’t wait to make these!!!
love those bookmarks and the ponytail scarves too!
Love the idea, and since I have a lot of books I plan to make a few of these, thanks so much for posting this!
I think i’ll make some of these, except i’ll double the length, fold them in half and add the button. That way it would slip over the page and be held pretty securely. Maybe i have issues lol
My daughter has just discovered chapter books, and we are always looking for ways to mark our spot each night.
Very nice. I may have to make some of these today.
I’m a big reader, especially since i’ve gone back to school, and just love the idea of making some bookmarks out of leftover scraps.
These are really cute, and having such a cute bookmark might be an incentive to try harder not to lose them!
i never would have thought to put a button on them!! what a fun idea!
My sister collects bookmarks. this would be a great b-day present for her.
Sweet! Real sweet!! Great for stocking stuffers, a child off to college, first day at grade school, teachers and us magazine hounds! Thanks!
What a sweet idea for those little scraps that you can’t bear to part with!
What a great idea for small pieces of fabric. Perfect since I hang on to every last scrap- it makes me feel guilty if I have to throw them away. I am loving fat quarter month!
They are so lovely..will make some in the near future!
Cute bookmarks! I might try one. I love green! Hope I win!!
Super cute! I love these fabric combinations, too.
So pretty. I’ve been wanting to make fabric bookmarks for family & teachers. Great idea!!
I love this project for those tiny scraps. Very cute.
Beautiful bookmarks! I agree…great way to use up scraps!
Love that button idea!!
Love this idea!
These are so cute, better than a receipt of a scrap of paper. (That’s what I usually use). These make nice gifts that say “I care”.
Very cute!
These are so cute! I really need to make some for myself… I keep sticking random papers into my books (receipts, lists, pictures, drawings)!
I can see cute fabrics for kids, too!
I’m going to tackle this when my baby takes her nap today!
Super adorable!!! I’m a member of PaperbackSwap.com and have wanted to start including a little bookmark in the books I send along (and of course I’ve been way too lazy to check out patterns myself). These are so perfect. Oh SMS, you’re the cat’s pajamas!!!
Love that there is another way to use my scraps!
I love those fabric combinations!!
With many avid readers in the family I think that bookmarks are going to be great gifts this winter!
I love this idea – perfect for my bookclub ladies!
Lovely. They really are beautiful.
Such a great idea to use leftover scraps of fabric. Very pretty.
I am always in need of more bookmarks. These are perfect!
Adorable! Thank you
Now I won’t have to use bobby pins or random receipts for bookmarks!
Those are great! Will have to try those out. Good ideas!
Now, these are original and very attractive. I am going to make some for my friends and family.
what a sweet simple idea! great gift!
these are so beautiful! very creative use of fabric
These are so pretty. The bookmarks I’ve made have been much simpler, but they make me so happy since the scraps are used, not wasted.
Really cute idea! Stop wasting scraps!
With buttons! Some day I will make some kind of bookmarks for my bookgroup!!
Great idea!!!
What a great idea for scraps!
Great idea for my scraps! Thanks.
These are lovely. I am really into making bookmarks right now for some reason. I have been working on some felt ones.
Oh, I want to make some!
Barbara
OH yes please. You’ve got me drooling over all these things I Need to make with fat quarters now!
Cute gift idea!
I love reading almost as much as I love sewing. This is the best.
Those are so pretty! What a great idea!
I love the fabric choices in the photographs!
The bookmark made with paper and vintage fabric was really lovely.
What a cute idea for what to do with those last scraps of that favorite fabric. And you can hold the lovely fabric in your hand while reading the book.
A cool gift to give my nieces with all the books I keep sending them
I have to say, I recently found your blog. And now it has a prominent place on my daily read list. I recently inherited my late grandmothers sewing machine and since then I have been on the hunt for fun, easy patterns to make. I love seeing each day what you have in store for us! Keep them coming!
Can’t wait to make these for book club adn book worm nieces and nephews!
The button is such a great idea!!
This is awesome. We do alot of reading in my house. Can’t wait to make some of our own.
buttons make everything better.
What a great idea! I have some good ideas on how to use these in addition to my rubber stamping hobby. Thank you so much for the links!
I would never have thought of adding a button to keep it from sliding!
What a cute idea to use up leftovers.
So Cute… I love to encourage reading amongst my nieces..not that they need that much encouragement really…I always gift them a book for Christmas or Birthday as well as their “main present” so I am going to make some of these in rediness…Thanks for this fab month of projects !!!
PS pink and GREEN are my fave colours !!
Feeling very inspired to make some bookmarks. Now to find some time. My bookworm daughters could even make some.
Finally, something I can make my husband that I know he will use!
Love the bookmarks!!!!!
What a great idea! I’ll be sure to make some for my mum and for my upcoming Etsy store!
Sigh…I’m going to miss all of these great fat quarter projects everyday after Feb 28!
What a good idea, I never thought of quilted bookmarks.
These are too cute! What is your best resource for unique buttons?
What a clever way to use up little scraps!
so great! i always need a bookmark but lose them- not these! they are too nice to misplace!
sometimes you just need to add one more little thing to a gift package – these are always a good idea!
Thanks so much for featuring my bookmarks – I’m really chuffed that you like them
Cheers, Bec
What a nice way to surprise a friend with scraps from a project we worked on together. We trade books all the time.
I have a HUGE bag of small scraps I couldn’t bear to part with. I knew the perfect project would come along to use them all up. I think the bookmarks are a great idea. I love the added touch of the buttons.
These are a really cute idea!
Love the button detail, cute and functional. Love the paper and fabric bookmark from How About Orange, too.
This is perfect for the little scraps I have leftover from larger projects. Plus, I love to read, and have LOTS of friends who love to read. I think it would be fun to keep a ’stash’ of these bookmarks on hand to give as gifts, place on a nightstand for a guest staying over, or even ‘hide’ in a library book to surprise the next person checking it out! Thanks for the inspiration!
What a great idea for using little scraps! I need to make some of these.
great use for all my tiny scraps
I already commented on this, but now I have actually made a fabric bookmark! It was so quick and easy, and a wonderful way to use every last scrap of my fabric. You can see the first of what will hopefully be many bookmarks here: http://lfinndesigns.blogspot.com/2009/02/my-first-bookmark.html Thanks again for the wonderful inspiration!
That’s definitely a much prettier bookmark than the paper ones I pick up for free at the library!
Great idea! Hubby & I love to read and he’s always misplacing his bookmark. I’ll have to make him some extras! BTW, greens a fabulous color!!!
I love to read as much as I love to sew so these are perfect. I love the buttons on the top.
I love all of these tutorials! I am going to make cute bookmarks for all my girls in bookclub.
I would love to win some fat quarters….these ideas are great!! I love how easy the bookmarks are!

I love projects I can use my scraps on! Thanks!
These are all such fun bookmarks to make with my daughters, Thanks!
These bookmarks are gorgeous. I love Fat Quarter Month. What a great idea ! If only I had time to make all these projects…
The bookmarks are so cute =) I’m planning on doing one in cross stitch, next I’ll try this!
How cute are those? What a great idea, and you can use up all those scraps of fabric and trim to make them unique!
what a perfect idea for scraps–they are soo cute and the button to keep them from slipping down really makes sense (once i read what it was for) making me want to make some even more!!!
Beautiful bookmarks! And it’s good timing too – I just lost my favourite bookmark
How very clever. And MUCH more stylish than a tissue or magazine subscription card.
Wonderful idea for a quick gift.
Those are so pretty, remind me of kimono fabrics.
I can see some crazy quilt bookmarks appearing from my stash! I love all fat quarters, who am I kidding I love all fabrics..
I’m going to try this!
I made my niece some bookmarks for Christmas, one of which was inspired by these. You can see them and my other handmade Christmas ideas at the post under my name. Thanks!
