Amy from Park City Girl shares a tutorial for making a quilted Bible cover. The handles make it easy to carry your Bible with you, and the quilted fabric cover protects your cherished book. Get the how-to.

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!
It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.
Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
Thanks so much for your terrific tutorial! I made my bible cover in about two hours following your excellent instructions!
have been looking for a bib;e cover, thanks
I love this! Thanks for sharing. I knocked out an adorable cover for my daughter’s bible in one afternoon.
I’ve read and re-read your wonderful tutorial, but am having trouble deciding where the ‘lining fabric’ goes. Can you help. I understand the exterior fabric and the interior fabric and the handles and ties and pocket, but for the life of me can’t figure out the ‘lining fabric.
Thanks for your help.
I would second Janet’s comment from Nov. 12. Not sure I understand how the inside goes together. Assuming there is some sort of fold for the front and back covers of the bible to slide into? Thank you!
I think that was she’s calling “the lining fabric” is actually the inside fabric. You wouldn’t see it on the finished bible cover because it would be covered by the bible. In the tutorial it’s showing up as a white rectangle. The flaps to hold the front & back covers of the bible are layered on top of the white lining fabric, and then the handles and ties. It’s all covered up with the quilted exterior fabric. She stitches around the outside, leaving a hole open to turn.
