Sew a scripture case for yourself or a special person in your life using my free sewing pattern! This fun sewing project can be completed quickly and customized just the way you want it.
When our kids each turn 8, their biggest birthday present that year is their own set of scriptures. This year my baby turned 8 and was baptized – it has been so special with lots of cousins and aunts and uncles coming to visit.
As you can see, I also decided to sew in little pull tabs in between the zipper panel and the side pieces. It was a fun touch that makes it easier to open the scripture case.
And it really does hold her new scriptures perfectly.

Have you fallen in love with Quilt as You Go yet? It’s a fun technique for quilts, of course, but I’m having lots of fun using it for pouches and tote bags too.
I’m so excited to share with you the pattern for our first mini quilt of 2018… Flora! This beautiful little quilt was designed by the very talented Lauren of Molly & Mama…
At my daughter Chloe’s high school (can you believe my baby started high school???), the lunch lines are so long that she has been skipping lunch! She’s always starving by the time she gets home because she doesn’t want to carry a big lunch bag as well as her heavy backpack – poor girl!
Looking for free table runner patterns? I gathered up all my favorites in one place – here are free quilt patterns for table runners for fall, winter, spring and summer!
I am so in love with the beautiful look of simple patchwork quilts with lots of squares. This is the perfect way to use up fabric scraps like I did, or you can make a beautifully coordinated quilt with pre-cut 2 1/2’’ square fabric pieces that come in mini-charm packs.
I’m also in love with the process. If you feel like quilt making is your escape from the world and sitting down to sew for a few hours makes your troubles fade away… this is the quilt for you!

Sewing your own swimsuit is selfish sewing at it’s best! I’ve been eyeing the two piece bathing suit pattern In Ottobre Design Magazine Issue 02/2011 for a while, wanting to try it. I finally sewed it up and now I love the results!
There are so many great book reviews going on right now! I was very excited to be invited to join in the fun for Sumiko Fujita’s 318 Patchwork Patterns. This book is not new. It was originally published in Japanese in 2005. After being out of print and hard to find for years, World Book Media has finally released an English version.
All fabrics are not the same, so which should you choose for your homemade face masks? Of course any fabric face mask is better than none at all, but you can make your masks more effective by choosing the right fabric to begin with.
Learn to sew the classic Friendship Star Quilt Block! The friendship star is a beloved favorite that has been stitched into patchwork quilts for nearly a hundred years. It is an easy nine patch design made up of just squares…
I want a fabulous new fall tote. I need a fabulous new fall tote. I just can’t resist this amazing tote tutorial from Orange Bettie that has plaid flannel and faux leather. Don’t be shy if this is the first…
I had so much fun last week letting you guess which of the leggings above were sewn with the serger and coverstitch and which ones I made entirely on my home sewing machine. Well here’s the answer: the orange leggings on the left with blackberries are the ‘fancy’ ones that I sewed with my serger and new coverstitch machine. The aqua leggings look almost exactly the same and I used my sewing machine only. How did I do it? I’m going to show you!

Love this pattern. I actually was thinking the same when you posted it before that it would make a great scripture tote. Will it fit large print? Thanks and I love that you share your talent. Thanks 🙂
I love your scripture bag! My grand daughter was saved last year in Vacation Bible School so I would love to make one of these for her. Where did you find your embroidery design? Thanks!

Thanks Heidi! No, I don’t think it would fit large print scriptures.
