Bible bag
Made myself a Bible bag, changed a little the original tutorial adding a front pouch to hold my little
Note book and a pen.
I made it with upholstery fabric but I added wadding and it really turned out too thick
I’ll make the next one just with the upholstery fabric and see how it turns out.

Great job with the bag.
PS: You can trim the batting out of the seam lines. It reduces bulk and makes a smoother edge. If the fabric is being quilted, just cut the batting 1/2 or 1 inch smaller. The quilting will hold evrything together at the seam lines.

Your Bible tote is very nice. The extra pocket is handy to have. Nice for any book too. I made one last spring for a friend of mine's daughter making her first communion. Nice job. I am sure it will be well used.

Nice bag & love the front pocket for your pen & pad. I've had some in the past without handles but for me, handles are a must. DH bought me a store bought one but I like the homemade ones best as you can customize it to your liking. You did a great job on it. Do you have "pockets" on the inside for the front & back of your Bible to slip into so it won't fall out when you open the bag?
