I have photos of one I made many years ago. There are no directions,
but it's basically a 'placemat' making process with two inserts
(stiffened with medium weight fusible interfacing) on the inside to
slide the book's covers into each side plus a piece of trim for a
bookmark- which is sewn at the top edge before binding the raw
edges. The front/back could be decorated with a pieced area, an
insert of fabric like I did or an applique design. A label or some
writing could be added to the insert to personalize it. You could add
something for ties or a flap with Velcro at the sides before binding,
too, if you wanted the cover to secure the book.

Good luck with your project!

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
because if it ends up not working out then I will just have to buy one.
I saw some 'bible covers' (http://www.dicksonsgiftshop.com/bible-covers)
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!
