These bookmarks are great for beginners to try two different techniques and perfect for using up scraps. Bookmarks are a great handmade gift or matching add-on to use up the last bits of a fabric; I made the spool-printed fabric with a gelatin plate (<a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/swoodsonsays.com\/gelatin-printing-inspiration\/\" target=\"_blank\">see more in this post<\/a>) and wanted to make something small with it that didn't detract from the print. When I was brainstorming for this post, I ended up with a third idea for a super simple fabric scrap bookmark &#8211; you can find it <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/swoodsonsays.com\/simple-fabric-scrap-bookmark\/\" target=\"_blank\">on my blog today<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can expand these techniques to making bag handles or pouches too. Add some embroidery or applique and your options are endless!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Purple & Blue Single Fabric Bookmark<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Supplies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>2 pieces of fabric measuring 4&#8243; X 10&#8243;<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3e5lyr6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Iron<\/a><\/li><li>Coordinating thread<\/li><li>Sewing Machine<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/1-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"550\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/1-2.jpg\" alt=\"1 2\" class=\"wp-image-17253 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/1-2.jpg 550w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/1-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/1-2-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/1-2-150x150.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 550px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 550\/550;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/1-2.jpg\" alt=\"1 2\" class=\"wp-image-17253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/1-2.jpg 550w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/1-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/1-2-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/1-2-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>1.
