Once again I've craft
swappin' on
Craftster . This time it was for the March Birthday Swap. The idea is if your birthday is in March you sign up and post a little bio about yourself along with a
wish list of crafted items, supplies and extras you would like. Then you wait until someone claims an item from your list to send you as a birthday gift. Well I picked a lady in Virginia who is actually pretty similar to me. She's a crunchy, homeschooling mommy who had a list I could have made myself. One thing on her list was a surprise from her
Wist so I headed on over and saw a bible cover..
this bible cover . I thought " Hey! I can make that!" I search for tutorials but quickly realized a zippered cover wasn't going to happen. ( Have I mentioned how much I dislike zippers??)
All was not lost though because I found
this pattern and knew it was the one! I love the my partner loved black and white and found the perfect material.
It was a very straight forward pattern and very easy to put together. It turned out so very nice. Here it is.
It looks sharp. I was really really impressed with how it turned out! I love it when I make something for someone else and I am genuinely proud of it.
Here is the inside where you put the bible. There is a small pocket for pens. The whole kit and caboodle is tied closed with with a ribbon.
It was really fun putting this together for my partner. I hope she likes it. :)
