I remember making my book covers that way. I loved doing it, but now I’m thinking I should try making a fabric one. It cannot be much harder to do.

I wonder if it would work if you starched the fabric a bit? Or added velcro tabs? (Would those be too bulky?) Or just added a bit of stitching to keep the fabric folded up.

Our school requires (requires!) that you purchase book sox, which are just stretchy fabric covers. I’m sure they could be easily made.
