Make a protective Bag for Books

I read a lot and because I also travel a lot I was always afraid how to keep good care of the books I take with me. To avoid dog-ears and further damage resulting from carrying books in my suitcase, I was thinking of how to protect them in an easy and aesthetically pleasing way.

That's how I got the idea of this easy-to-build protective bag for books, which I want to share with you.

I'm not a native speaker, but I hope my language is understandable :-)

Enjoy!

Step 1: Gather the Materials

You will need:
- Thick felt, mine was 1/5" (18 x 20")
- utility knife
- ruler
- magnetig button
- tailor's chalk
- thread

- A sewing maschine
- A needle

Optional for the design:
- pinking shears
- 40" elastic band (for underwear)
- T-Shirt Transfers. If you want to print sth. white, make sure its for dark materials. Otherwise, it will become transarent.

Wish I had something like this when I was making a few roundtrips a year going to and from school. Those back pockets on the airplane seats can be murder on paperback books.

This is nice. Great job. However I see it as a tool pouch.
