Access All Accessories / Finishing off bookmark ends?
« on: December 15, 2018, 11:12:28 AM »
Hello friends!
It's been a while since I posted here, as I haven't really had the time to sew much. As I'm currently on holiday from University, I thought I'd get back into it by making myself a cover for the planner I'll be using next year. I'm quite proud if it, despite my drafting not being entirely up to scratch (I was going to edgestitch around it, so I added an extra 0.5cm SA but somehow that's disappeared. If anyone can tell me why, I'd appreciate it!).
The problem I'm having is trying to figure out how to finish the ends of the bookmarks I made. I was going to use ribbon, but I didn't have any suitable ribbon in my stash. Instead I used the same fabric as the lining and created a straight grain binding that I sewed closed. The problem I'm having is that I don't know how to finish the ends. I was going to use some embroidery floss and a buttonhole stich, but I don't think that's going to work as they're quite thin. I'd love to here your ideas. I've attached a picture so that you know what I'm talking about.
