I'd say half an inch extra would do, especially if you're using a hardcover. I measured my cover exactly, added one inch for seam allowance, and used a half-inch seam... and my book doesn't fit in its beautiful cover. :( I don't do much sewing so I didn't even think of it and followed the instructions exactly. Now I've got to either fix it or make a whole new one!

I used denim instead of wadding to make it nice and thick, and sewed a double cord bookmark into the seam at the top edge. It came out awesome! Thank you so much for this tutorial. I may be making some more of these.
