My nephew is getting baptized one month from today and I really want to
successfully create a home sewn bible cover for him. This probably isn't
too difficult but I still feel like such a beginner at sewing. So, I'm
here for some help. I'm trying not to put too much stress on myself

at this site when I was running out of options for my niece but we will
see what happens. I would like to try to make one also. Thanks for the
advice!

For a book cover, I like this method:

I've used that a few times for notebooks and for little guidebooks that
were about to take a beating at camp. Also made it easy for everyone to
identify the owner of the book :-)
