Custom Made Bible Covers

I had the great pleasure of creating these unique customer-inspired-designs! One for the pink polka dot (medium dot) gathered bow version, PERSONALIZED which is a first. And also the Retro Red Floral with initials applied in Red!  Both of these haven't been offered with personalization in the past because the patterns are so busy personalization doesn't stand out as much as other patterns paired with personalization. I am always happy to work with any ideas in making their bible cover as special and personal for them as possible. I think these customers inspired some very cute covers!

-Handmade Bible Covers!-

Size is 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" x 1" 
Personalized in turquoise with a first name. Interior is lined with a pre-quilted cotton lining and includes 2 page markers. Washable!

Giraffe Bible Cover

Sharing my first Giraffe design! I couldn't settle on the color combos OR design I wanted to go with for this giraffe pattern. More to come in this giraffe theme, at this point I have the equivalent of writer's block with this pattern so I'm going to just try all the color combos I have in mind and get some feedback from there :) Going to label this one a work-in-progress.

Personalize Me!

I just finished this one!

Cheetah / Animal Bible Covers

                                                                      5 1/2" x 8 1/2" x 1"
Sharing this cheetah ( Seriously I never get it right on with the "correct" print so I'm just calling it Animal Print Basic Cover with Pink Trim. This is also available in black trim. Would love to see this pink trim design personalized in Hot Pink!
I will post my newest fabric haul tomorrow, featuring black and white samples. These will be completed with Hot Pink and Turquoise Trims in various designs and sizes to include 
6 1/2" x 9 1/2" x 2" I'm so thankful for the most recent  feedback!

Customer Inspired Creations

So excited to share this customer creation today. This was a very special inspired design by my customer, I have never done the Red Vine in the gathered bow style and I don't often do the gathered bow personalized covers in this larger size (This one is 6 1/2" x 9 1/2" x 2") They are usually offered just like this...

                                                                           "Red Vine"
                                                                   5 1/2" x 8 1/2" x 2"

Pink (Studded) Cross Bible Cover

Tonight I am sharing another remnant creation. This one features a studded cross. I have both studs and rhinestones that I often apply to the single trim and single trim with bow basic bible covers. I can also create a christian fish out of them! The first rhinestone cross was applied to the pink camo bible cover back in 2006. These are a special touch and can be applied onto any of the designs if requested. 

Zebra Ruffle Bible Covers

Today I am sharing a brand new Zebra Ruffle Trim bible cover I did this week. This was a new design I began to offer shortly after the New Year 2011. Presently I have Pink, Black and Brown trims, these are really fun and unique, another great alternative for anyone that prefers no bows. Giraffe & Cow just arrived to me, there have been some designs I'm working on with that but haven't settled on one just yet! Will share very soon.
If you came across this blog I'd love to hear from you!!!

Custom Sizing Bible Covers

                                                                      5 1/2 x 8 1/2 x 1"+
I've been sharing these styles alot this week and I just wanted to include that this design is great for smaller/standard sized bibles. This is the bible cover size I specialize in . Often I am asked if I can make them in a 6 1/2x 9 1/2" size, I prefer to make these smaller only like above however I did create a basic one sans bow recently:

                                                   6 1/2 x 9 1/2 x up to 2"+ excludes thinline
I prefer to include a thick lining and handle reinforcement for the study bibles and include a closure as well. The larger the bible the heavier it typically is, while these same bibles are the very ones that are hard to shop a cute bible cover for, a handmade option requires special attention to details, so that is as functional as possible.

New! Quilted Personalized Endless Possibilities

Today I released the first of many to come for these Pre-Quilt Topped personalized options with the single bow (optional) as we get closer to the holiday season I hope to have many ribbon trims offered! This is a great alternative to 100% cotton fabric covers both basic and handle designs, for a few fab reasons:
-Dirt is less visible
-Pick this design without the bow and it is 100% washable
-100's of ribbon trim colors (solid) or patterned to choose from including awareness ribbons
-Thicker protection for the common page and corner damage that occurs when any book is not covered
-Personalization isn't competing with a busy fabric pattern which means I can accept names longer than just 7 letters!
Red and Blue Quilt Tops will also be available in the coming months.

Personalized Bible Cover

 Yesterday I was saying how much I was loving this bible cover and wanted to personalize it for someone in Hot Pink? --->June 14 2011 Blog Post

This morning someone requested just that, I don't think they read my blog LOL?? I didn't ask but I thought it was pretty neat how within just one day there it is! I appreciate those personalization requests so much because it allows me to share what some of these bible cover designs look like personalized, and everyone just loves the special touch of the personalization especially for gifts. 
                                                                                    
I also worked with another really sweet customer this week on the Zebra Pink Bible Cover personalized with initials! I often get asked about doing initials like JJK style. 

This is all I am able to do so far (pic above), if someone knows of the software or machine I'd need to finally apply monograms and initials like that please share with me!!!! I'm all for it, just have no clue what I need to offer them that way.


Have an wonderful day friends.

Frilly Ruffled Bible Covers

I just love this precious little simple bible cover! I didn't add anything other than the outside pocket adorned with the frilly ruffle. I'm on the ruffle kick again! available 6/19/11
 I'd love to personalize one of these in Hot Pink, if your interested please contact me! Sizes Standard through Large

Them Wild Covers

The first time someone asked me to create a zebra themed bible cover I have to say I was really surprised. They are still one wild most requested bible cover theme request of the bunch right alongside anything and all things polka dots! The featured bible cover today is this hot pink cream and black animal like print.

Care for (white) Cute Cover Bible Covers

The bible cover I am featuring brings up the topic of caring for fabric covers that are very light in color or specifically white. I don't typically use these colors unless the fabric is absolutely adorable! I treat all white covers with a fabric treatment that repels stains and dirt. I do not recommend these designs for daily use, in fact my recommendation for a bible cover like this one pictured would be more of a keepsake or heirloom gift cover for a first bible or a special bible that can be protected and stored somewhere visible, instead of packed away in a box or a shelf to get dusty and further worn. When you have a nice bible cover you tend to take care in where you place your bible and it stands out more, making it easier for you to locate on a busy Sunday morning or when you have maybe misplaced it. Most of the custom bible covers I make are not machine washable at all unless stated. My recommendations are always hand wash;cold water; spot clean only; & line dry. 

Padded Washable Bible Covers

The bible cover I am featuring today is this whimsical  black and white pattern in the panel design. I chose a hot pink christian fish, but a name could be added to the panel alternately. I really like this cover, the fabric itself for this one really is vibrant and of great quality. As soon as I was working with it I knew it would translate to exactly what we see here in the completed design. I almost went with the single trim bow for this one but I ended up changing my mind at the last minute. This cover is fully padded . I have used this design myself and I feel it really needs that support for the study bibles it commonly holds. Since this is a design I made specifically for adults it holds up to the daily/weekly study use while also having the option of being washable unlike many of our other designs, that are recommended spot clean only styles. This cover will be available  6/12/11

One for Saturday!

                                                                       5 1/2" x 8 1/2" x 2
Sans bow here is a boho like patterned purple trimmed cover with cross, standard size. This one will be available 6/5 look for it to go live on facebook if your a fan of ours. Modeled tab coming soon and other updates and helpful links for this blog are in the works. Working on another remnant set with polka dots next! 

Pink Christian Fish Bible Cover

 

 Pictured is a smaller sized panel design. All the bible covers posted this week will be available on 6/5/11

Fabric Haul

Here is a portion of my haul this week. I immediately thought of the panel design when I saw this unique geometric green,black and white fabric, still refining the old pattern for this one so each of these so far seem to show a bit of wonky-ness to the completed cover! :(
I worked on a sibling set remnant following this one.
