Free pattern: Heart corner bookmark

Karen from Sew Many Ways shares a tutorial for making a heart bookmark. It wraps around the corner of a page to mark your spot in the book. It’s thin enough that the book will close flat. She includes a free pattern uses two 4″ square pieces and one 3″ square, all totally doable from a scrap bin. You could mix prints if you didn’t have all these pieces from one fabric. This would make a great gift for a book lover, especially if you also included a gift certificate to a book store.
