Extra Miler:  Make extra ones to give as gifts.  Great stocking stuffer!  :)

1. Set iron to wool setting.

1. Cut out paper pattern pieces.
2. Pin pieces to fabric and interfacing and cut.

 See those bumps?  They are glue dots.  Do not let them touch your hot iron or the right side of the fabric.  It will make a mess:)
4.  Using a damp cloth, iron fusible interfacing with glue dots (the bumpy side) towards the wrong side of one of the fabric pieces (at least 10-20 seconds, until interfacing is stuck to fabric).

5.  Pin bookmark sides, right sides together.

 5.  Sew around edges, 1/4” seam allowance, leaving a 2" opening in one of the longs ends for turning.

 7.  Clip corners, turn right side out.  Push corners out with a chopstick or pencil.

1. Make sure opening is tucked in where it goes.  Pin in place.
