Hello, friends! Today I’m excited to share a fabulous Bookmark Pen Holder Tutorial that is perfect for gift giving (or to make for yourself)! I first learned about this fabulous pattern when I attended the Modavation retreat for shop owners in Dallas in June 2024. I came home and made dozens (actually over 100) for gifts for friends and family. This darling design is by Tammy Vonderschmitt and Dawn Cornell who presented it at the event. Keep reading for the video tutorial and to download the free PDF pattern.

Bookmark Pen Holder Details
The bookmark pen holder finishes at approximately 2 ½″ x 8 ½″ and is perfect as a bookmark for simple journals and notebooks or for standard-sized hard-cover books. It’s so convenient to have a pen/highlighter handy when writing or reading, and this project is one you’ll want to make again and again! Materials required for one bookmark are below:
- Scraps or Layer Cake squares for (2) 3″ x 9″ rectangles for the bookmark front and back
- Scraps or Layer Cake squares for (1) 3″ x 10″ rectangle for contrast pocket
- (1) 3″ x 5″ and (1) 3″ x 9″ Pellon Sew in Interfacing (I also successfully used ShapeFlex Fusible Interfacing on some of my bookmarks).
- 9″ of Fold Over Elastic–Find it Here
- That Purple Thang point turner
- Clover Wonder Clips
