Scripture Bag

Without the title do you know what this is?  I made it with my new found sewing desk space.

For months my CTR 4, has been asking for a scripture bag.  He diligently brings his Book of Mormon to church.  Where we use to live they encouraged all the kids whether they could read or not to bring their sciptures.  No one seems to care here, but luckily the habit is set.  So I finally, made him one.  He of course picked this material out of my stores. Inside there is a pocket for his scripture marking crayons, and a pencil pocket holder thing, slots for three pens.  Now he doesn't have to bother me for one.

I used no pattern, measured wrong, and my fusible webbing didn't work, so the bag took me twice as long as expected.  Two nap times instead of one.

A Sweater for when my Sciptures Get Cold

Winter will be here in a little while and I didn't want my scriptures getting cold on the walk to church. Just kidding, I wanted to try a felting project made from an old wool sweater.  I found this tutorial, but my mom and I were really feeling it, so we took our own route. I did the machine sewing, and my mother hand sewed the top seam.  I was grateful, she does invisible stitching much better than me. Then I embroidered the L after her suggestion.

It would be the perfect size bag for a regular size set of LDS scriptures, but I have the small quad so it leaves plenty of room for pens, keys, a cell phone on silent, and other such stuff.
