How to Embroider a Paperback Book Caddy

Hi! I'm Karen for Expert Village. Okay, now I've finished sewing on my handle straps. After you sew your handle straps, it's a good time to personalize if you want to embroider something on this. I've embroided a heart and I wrote I love books using some buttons to help embellish it. Now, I got the nice heart shape without drawing on my fabric because I didn't want any lines there. I just cut out a little heart and I pinned it down, and then I sewed around the outside of the heart. That's how I got such a nice shape. Then I just freehand sewed the letters and sewed on the buttons wherever I liked it. So the best place to any personalization is right below where the handles are loose because this part we'll be folding down. So you want to do it right where the handles are sewn, just a little bit below that. If you fold it in half, you can see that's where it's going to be folded and the book will go in like this. That's where your personalization would be.
