One of the Young Women leaders at church asked me if I would make some book holders for the girls to keep their little church books organized.
I say little because the books are about 7 inches high. I didn't have any of the books that go inside so I didn't get to take a picture showing how they look inside. I also didn't think to take a photo of them open, but you can see some open versions here. On the inside is three slots for books and a small pocket for a pen.
The tutorial I used called for fat quarters, but I also used some of the larger pieces from my scrap bins.
To decorate the fronts, I used some of the flowers I made this spring for the 60's blog hop.
My son also helped make some extra flowers that matched better with some of the other fabrics.
These were fun and super quick to sew up, I cut them out one evening, and then sewed them all up the next night. I gave them to the Young Women on Wednesday night and they were a big hit.

Those are really cute!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea and these are super cute. We older women use something similar to keep in our purses. We use them to hold our pad and pencil so that we can keep track of what is going on. We are able to keep up with the dates of the things we need to do. (BTW--These make great Christmas presents for the elderly in the Church.
