Thanks for sharing. I'll be making a few of these soon, as Christmas presents!!! You're the best.

Your tut is much simpler that the pattern I have used. Thanks so much...gonna get started on many more...have large family and everyone needs one (Bible and cover). Thanks again and God Bless...

I love this!
Some thoughts on embellishing:
1. If you have a computerized embroidery machine, you can embroider/monogram to your liking a center block to strip piece a fabric that fits Bible. I would also play with formatting to stitch out a favorite verse on cover fabric. Showcase decorative stitches in contrast colors or specialty threads if you desire.
2. Why not use lowloft batting scraps to quilt in the ditch, or make a favorite design in quilting if you do not have the Pellon?
3. Could even stitch colored ribbon markers abt 1/4th inch wide and 15 to 18 inches long at center fold where the spine of bible creases.

Nice tutorial! Great gift idea.

Thank You so much for posting this! I think I know what my next project is going to be...already thinking of what i am going to embellish is with!

You did a great job with this... Blessings to you!

Thank you everyone for your comments. I really appreciate them.
Post some of your projects! I'd love to see your take on the basic pattern.
God Bless !

My mom made many of these but she had some with lace around them and she put handles on the open side. I loved the handles. Been years since I made one.{still use the 2 that I made last.}

The last one I made had handles on it also. Great addition.

I've made quite a few I will only post two

Thank you!!!! I have been wanting to make me a new Bible cover.... now I have the instructions to do so! Appreciate it!

Nice tut! Simple and efficient, my favorite kind!
