Designing your book cover
How do I design my book cover?
In the 3D atelier, in three steps:
- first, your book’s measurements: it is on this exact format that you will then place embroidery and texts, at the right size and in the right place;
- then the fabric;
- finally, embroidery, texts, bookmarks, lace and a closure.
The 3D book shows the result as you go, and the price updates with every choice.
Can I add a name or a text in Arabic?
Yes: in Arabic or Latin script, in several fonts and in the thread colour of your choice, up to 25 letters per text. A text costs €0.50 per letter.
How many thread colours can I choose from?
47 colours, from white to metallic gold. Each embroidery is set colour by colour.
Can I add several embroideries and texts?
Yes, on the front, the back and the spine of the book. Each one can be moved, rotated and duplicated.
Will the result look exactly like the 3D?
The 3D is faithful to the layout, proportions and colours. Shades may vary slightly from one screen to another, and since each piece is made in the atelier, small variations are part of its character.
Measurements and sizes
How do I measure my book?
With the book closed, measure in centimetres:
- the height, from top to bottom;
- the width, from the spine to the edge;
- the thickness, from one cover to the other across the spine: following its curve with a soft tape measure (or a piece of string you measure afterwards) if it is rounded, not in a straight line; simply with a ruler if it is flat.
Give the exact measurements of your book: the atelier adds the ease needed for making it.
Which sizes are possible?
From a pocket notebook to a large book, almost every format can have its cover:
- height: 12 cm to 35 cm
- width: 8 cm to 26 cm
- thickness: 0.5 cm to 10 cm
The 3D atelier opens on a common format (24.5 × 17.5 × 3.5 cm): all that’s left is to adjust it to your book, to the millimetre.
I’m unsure about my measurements, what should I do?
Write to us before ordering, at contact@tamayyuz.fr, telling us which book it is (title, edition): we will help you check them.
Materials and making
Which fabrics do you offer?
White cotton, Black cotton, Off-white cotton, Pale pink cotton, Cream cotton, Blue denim, Spotted beige cotton and Speckled beige cotton. You can see their texture up close in the 3D atelier.
How is the embroidery made?
Embroidery and texts are stitched on an embroidery machine. Cutting, assembly and finishing — lace, bookmarks, closure — are done in the atelier, piece by piece, for each order.
Does the gold thread last?
Yes: the gold thread withstands washing perfectly and keeps its shine.
How do I care for my book cover?
- Cold wash, 30 °C maximum.
- Dry flat.
- Gentle ironing on the right side is fine for the fabric, embroidery and texts; avoid it on bookmarks.

How do I track my order?

After your order
Can I give a book cover as a gift?
Yes. When ordering, write your message in the “A note for the atelier” field: we will slip it into the parcel, with the book cover.
Can I cancel or return my order?
Each book cover is made to measure, to your choices: the law excludes the right of withdrawal for such items (article L221-28 of the French Consumer Code). You do keep the legal guarantee of conformity, for two years.
