dbusarow Report post Posted February 7, 2011 My pastor's wife would like to give her husband a bible cover. But not just a bible cover, she wants it to look like a possible bag. So basically a simple bag sized to hold a bible (8.25 x 10.25 x 1.75) and tough enough for using/carrying everyday in rural Montana. He would be carrying it around town and back in the mountains in sunshine, rain and snow. BTW, I've never made a bible cover or a possible bag. Can someone recommend a good book or pattern set to get me started? Thanks, Dan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildrose Report post Posted February 7, 2011 I made this case for a Bible; it was a first time thing for me, but the customer was happy. I'd definitely do things a little different the second time - esp. the strap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Something like this (from octobercountry.com) is closer to what I'm thinking about. BTW, how did you stitch the seam below the handle? Looks like that would have been a nightmare to do.

wildrose Report post Posted February 8, 2011 It was a nightmare. It's just a flat stitch (saddle stitch?). She didn't want anything fancy, or I'dve gone for a double loop most likely. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
