My Bible is larger than the typical size which made it a pain to find a cover for, especially since I’m picky anyway. Many Bible covers have a strap coming out of the spine end which means that the Bible is resting on its pages when being carried by the strap. For stiff Bibles or those w/ hard covers this probably doesn’t make a difference, but since mine’s soft and I want to keep the pages in good shape, I want the Bible to be resting on its spine while being carried by the straps instead. So I’ve designed it according to that requirement. I also placed a generous sized hidden pocket in it to accommodate my pencil case for underlining, as well as a couple outer pockets b/c it’s nice to have a place to stash a few papers. After two previous attempts that were decent but not quite ideal, here is my final Bible Cover project! Instructions are written so you can make the pattern for you particular size Bible. And this is one of the projects that is a lot nicer to do if you have a serger... but you CAN do it without, you’ll just have to adjust the instructions accordingly, hemming fabric under instead of serging. I'll also mention that a serger requires extra seam allowances in order to make a thick seam and to cut off fabric as it serges. So if you're sewing this case rather than serging it, you'll want to take my measurements in a bit to compensate for that. If you plan to make this bible cover, see the tips and answers to FAQ at the bottom of this post. CLICK HERE TO VIEW OR DOWNLOAD TUTORIAL Here are some pictures I've received back from my lovely readers who have used the tutorial to make their own bible covers: Katie P used this tutorial to make a bible cover for her daughter in law! I love how the embroidery looks on it too! She says she'd like to make another one in the future. Elizabeth T. from Missouri used this tutorial to make her own bible cover. Not only did she not have a serger... she didn't even have a sewing machine. She did this entirely by hand!! I think she has much more patience than I do! Didn't it turn out nice? Shona Mason used my Bible Cover sewing tutorial to make two pretty bible covers using an assortment of recycled fabric pieces! She didn't use a serger so she cut extra lining and folded it around the inner seams and hand-stitched them for a smooth finish. Here they are: And here is another pretty one from Mary G in NC... Here's one from Linda who made it for her daughter... Here's one from Amy H. in Texas who made a cover for her four-year-old son... And here's one from Mary who made a cover for her niece... Thanks for sharing ladies!!! TIPS and FAQ: Use sturdy fabric! This is especially important if you have a heavy bible. If your bible is too heavy for your fabric it will pull at the seams where the straps connect to the case. If you're sewing this case on a sewing machine rather than a serger, you will have to take in the measurements some. When in doubt, cut it a bit on the generous size because you can always trim the excess later on. After the first step on page nine, you can do a "fitting" by pinning the pieces in place and placing your bible inside with the wrong/raw sides OUT. Take it in as needed, cutting the pieces smaller if you need to, then go back to following the directions again. Keep in mind when doing a fitting that you want it to fit your bible with wiggle room... you don't want it tight. How did I find such a long zipper? The only one I could find long enough for this project was not a delicate or pretty zipper... it was a super heavy-duty one that actually separates on both ends. I just sewed right over the end of it so it wouldn't come apart. If you take the time to make this project using my tutorial please send me pictures afterwards!! :D

Defined as “to repair with gold”, kintsukuroi/kintsugi is a Japanese technique used to fix broken pottery with golden lacquer.

In the Bible, Job declares his belief that when his trials […]

The story of Sodom and Gomorrah is important because it reveals that sin continues to spread and destroy the lives of people God loves and that God will, sooner or later, bring judgment on sin and evil in order to keep it in check. We’ve seen this before in the story of the Tower of Babel. Now, several chapters later and after God has called Abraham, we see that evil is still powerful. Abraham intercedes for the cities (Gen. 18:16-33), but their sin is too great. In Genesis 18:20, God says, “the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is immense, and their sin is extremely serious.” God must act to prevent evil from causing further harm. These activities are about this story.

I have been fascinated by the caves at Lascaux, France, since I learned about them in one of my very first college art history classes. I wanted to see if my sons would find them equally fascinating. They did. Before we made our own "cave paintings," we read a great book that familiarized my sons with the discovery of the caves. The story is so appealing to kids because it was, in fact, some young boys that stumbled on these historic caves and discovered their paintings and engravings, which were made by some of the earliest humans. Art has a long rich history. Cave paintings show us its very origin. Our Artist Recreation Of course, we don't have a cave wall to use as our medium, so I grabbed a roll of brown packaging paper (like what you'd wrap a package in to mail) that was collecting dust in our basement. I cut a large piece. I crinkled it to give it more of a stone effect and swiped on a few areas of brown and white acrylic paint in an attempt to replicate the look of cave walls. Then my sons used taupe, brown, black, and white oil pastels and some stencils I'd made. To make your own stencils, print my free template onto office paper, overlay sheets of transparency paper (think thick clear report covers), and using an exacto craft knife, carefully cut away the animals shapes. The boys were able to position the stencils anywhere they chose and even flip them to make the mirror image for variety. Holding the stencil steady (and tightly), they ran the oil pastel along the inner edge of the stencil to make an outline of a bull, deer and her fawn, bird, and human hunter (complete with bow and arrow). This required patience and determination for our 5-year-old, but since the real paintings didn't have crisp lines, even his wavering hand seemed to add to the authenticity. When we were done, he told me all about what our "cave painting" was illustrating! More Books In the evening, the boys read two other great books to extend the learning even further. My husband read The First Drawing to our 5-year-old. It is a wildly imaginative tale of a child who invented art by drawing in caves. It starts "Imagine ... you were born before the invention of drawing, more than thirty thousand years ago." This makes the cave painters very relatable to kids! My 9-year-old read Discovery in the Cave on his own. While the reading level was much lower than he's used to, he was fascinated by the small maps that detailed all of the different areas in the caves of Lascaux. It contained enough unique information from the book we read before our art activity to keep him interested.

Ever since I was a little girl, building a home was always a dream of mine, but it never seemed like it could be a reality. I always loved watching home makeover shows, This Old House with my Dad, and of course, my beloved Fixer Upper. I love, love seeing a home come to life, and sometimes I wonder if I should have been an interior designer and architect, because I love to be creative, but math is also my favorite subject. When building a home actually became a reality for us this year, I knew we had to make the building process special. Have you ever seen people writing their names or writing a quote in their walls during a renovation?! I wanted to take that a few steps further and write scriptures on our framing. This was something that was very meaningful to me, and it's kinda cool to think that there are scriptures within our walls blessing our home, our marriage, our future children, and anyone who walks through our doors. Today, I'll be sharing those thirty scriptures that we wrote throughout our home and the perfect place to write those scriptures, too! Front Entry Way Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out. Deuteronomy 28:6 I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. Joshua 1:5 Peace be to this house. Luke 10:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6 Garage Peace be to you, and peace be to your house, and peace be to all that you have. 1 Samuel 25:6 Where you go, I’ll go. Where you stay, I’ll stay. Ruth 1:16 Love your neighbor as yourself. Mark 12:31 The Lord will protect you from danger; He will keep you safe. He will protect you as you come and go, now and forever. Psalm 121:8 Powder Room Give us clean hands and pure hearts. Psalm 24:4 Stairwells/Stair Landings By wisdom, a house is built and by understanding it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures. Proverbs 24:3-4 For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything. Hebrews 3:4 Family Room Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love. 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 Kitchen My cup overflows with your blessings. Psalm 23:5 Give us this our daily bread. Matthew 6:11 Dining Room Build homes and plan to stay. Plant gardens, and eat the food they produce. Jeremiah 29:5 They broke bread together and ate together with glad and sincere hearts. Acts 2:46 Living Room As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15 Love one another as I have loved you. John 13:34 Laundry Room Clean me, and I will be clean. Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow. Psalm 51:7 Master Suite Love is patient. Love is kind. 1 Corinthians 13 I have found the one whom my soul loves. Song of Songs 3:4 We love because He first loved us. 1 John 4:19 His mercies are new every morning. Lamentations 3:23 This one is in between the two windows where my vanity will be. It will be a silent daily reminder for me as I get ready each and every day. Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s fault because of your love. Ephesians 4:2 Spare Bathroom Now that I, your Lord and teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. John 13:14-15 Upstairs Hallways (in between bedrooms) Train up your children in the way they should go, for when they are older, they will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6 God is our shelter and strength. Psalm 46:1 Office or Girl's Bedroom She is more precious than rubies. She is clothed with strength and dignity and she laughs without fear of the future. Proverbs 31 Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4 Spare Bedroom For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11 If you ever get the chance to build your home, or maybe you're going to be renovating your home soon, add a few of these scriptures to your framing. It will be a silent reminder that God is always with you, He loves you, and He is forever blessing your home, your life, your family, and all of the amazing people who will come through your doors.
