What’s the Project? This cute little scripture case pattern is perfect for carrying your scriptures to church. It’s easy to make and you can size it to fit your Bible and other scriptures perfectly. Make it for boys or girls, adults, or kids, it’s great for everyone!

You may already know that I LOVE fabric and you may or may not know that I’ve sort of got a thing for fat quarters. Remember my post on 25 Things to do with Fat Quarters? I’m not a quilter but I like to find other uses for them!

Now, this project is a perfect fit for me and I think you will love it too. This project will be perfect for kids and teens or anyone! It’s a great little scripture case  pattern to carry your Bible (and your Book of Mormon if you, like me, belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.) Here it is:

Scripture Case Pattern-Sew this little mini tote bag for carrying your scriptures to  church or whatever you need it for! It's easy to make, great for all ages and fun to sew! #patterns #sewing #freepatterns

It’s made to fit small books (you can adjust the sizing as needed). I actually made this one to be a scripture case-it fits a set of scriptures perfectly. But you can use it for anything!

Scripture Case Pattern and Tutorial

Want to make one? Let’s do it!

 

Scripture Case Pattern:

Supplies Needed:

  • 2 Fat Quarters: 1 for the outside, 1 for the inside {If you pick a directional fabric though, you are going to need one more fat quarter in that fabric}
  • Fusible Fleece Interfacing

 

Instructions:

Cut out your pieces. You need to cut these pieces out of the main fabric, the coordinating fabric and the fusible fleece interfacing.

Here are the measurements I used:

  • 2 pieces that are 7″ x 9″
  • 2 pieces that are 4 1/4″ x 7 1/2″
  • 1 piece that is 4 1/4″ x 9 1/2″
  • 2 pieces that are 2 1/2″ x 11″

If you want to adjust this bag to fit a different size book simply measure the book and change the measurements from there. My book measurement was about 6″ x 8″ and was 4″ deep, so I used 7″ x 9″ with 4 1/4″ as my cutting guide. So adjust yours depending on your sizing.

Here’s a layout that will allow you to cut all the pieces from a fat quarter. You can see that this isn’t going to work with directional fabric-that one strap piece up at the top is going the wrong way. So, if you have directional fabric you’ll need one more fat quarter:

Pieces

One you have all of your pieces cut, iron the fusible fleece interfacing to the backs of your main pieces

Iron

Now, beginning with your main pieces let’s assemble the bag.

First, attach the two 4 1/4″ x 7 1/2″ pieces to the 7 inch sides of your main piece with right sides together. Then get your 4 1/4″ x 9 1/2″ piece and attach it to the bottom of your main piece, again with right sides together.

Do this with both of your main pieces so that you form a little box:

Pinning

LDSscripturetotetutorial

Totebag

Now sew the side and bottom pieces together at the corners. (See above-in the bottom left corner of this picture I have sewed those two pieces together.

Next sew a straight seam in 6 places-one down each of the short sides and one across each of the bottom sides.

Seams

This will assemble the rest of your bag. The trickiest place will be at the corners. Make sure you are sewing just through the 2 layers of fabric that you want to and then catch the corner in it at the end of the seam. Your corners should look like this when you are done:

Corner

Turn it all right side out and you should have a nice bag formed. Check to make sure there are no holes or anything.

Then do the exact same thing with your inner pieces.

Now you need to make some straps. Take your long 11″ pieces and place them with right sides together and sew up to the long sides leaving either end open:

Straps2

Then turn them right side out and press them flat. Then top stitch them on each of the long sides. (The top stitching isn’t shown in this picture.)

Straps

Time to put it all together.

With your outside piece INSIDE OUT and your inner piece RIGHT SIDE OUT, put the inner piece down into the outside piece. Match up all the corners and everything and pin them all in place.

Stick your straps down inside the bag with the ends sticking out (double check to make sure you don’t get them twisted up and that you have them facing the way you want them to:

Strapsout

Now sew all the way around the top leaving an opening between 1 of the handles:

Opening

Snip off the extra ends from the straps:

Snipends

Turn everything right side out and push the inside down into the outside and press it all in place. Then top stitch around the top-closing the opening and making it look all pretty.

And you are done, my friends!

    Cute bag. I like the way it is lined with the fleece to make it both soft, yet strong and durable. And any pattern you can make from a fat quarter is a winner with me. I pinned !

    ❤This! My daughter just turned 8 and I’ve been wanting to make her a scripture case. Thanks for the awesome tutorial!

    I can’t find scripture bags for my boys that are durable but don’t cost a fortune. This looks perfect! Do you think there is room for an interior pocket?

    • Amber says

      August 12, 2013 at 9:21 pm

      Oh definitely!

      • amysings says

        Thank you! I’ll give it a try!

    I was in a small crafty mood yesterday and made one of these bags for my daughter. It came out so cute. Thanks!!

  6. Lauren says

    I absolutely love your blog! I have done a couple of the sewing patterns. I just printed out this bag to make for my daughter to carry her ballet shoes to her ballet class. She is going to love it. When I print from your site, it prints all comments below. Is there a way to add a link at top that says “print” and it goes into a print friendly format that doesn’t print out all comments? Just something to think about. Keep up all the hard work of running this blog. I love it!!!

    • Amber says

      September 9, 2013 at 11:14 pm

      Hmmm, I’ll have to look into that. Not sure how to do it.

    • Janet says

      October 15, 2013 at 12:23 pm

      Lauren,

      You can go to the website http://www.printfriendly.com and tweak any webpage for printing. It can get a little tedious, because you basically go through the page and delete sections of what you don’t want printed, but it’s free and no registration is required. The other upside is you’re customizing the page for yourself, so if you don’t need a certain picture printed, you can take that out and save some ink. Hope that helps!

        This link worked perfectly!
        Amber, I’m really excited to make this bag. 🙂 The pattern looks fun and the instructions seem easy to follow. I’m going to have my grandma help me just in case. 😉 Thanks for posting!

        • Amber says

          May 29, 2014 at 8:11 am

          Glad to hear

    • Tracy says

      October 29, 2017 at 1:32 am

      Just change the page range you are printing. Ex. for me for this one instead of 1-88 with comments I printed 2-14

  7. Deb says

    October 13, 2013 at 1:12 pm

    With the side and bottom pieces being 1/2 inch longer than the front and back pieces do I line the pieces up at the top leaving the extra 1/2 inch on the bottom to sew it into a box?

  8. Laura~PeaceofthePrairies says

    October 16, 2013 at 1:29 pm

    Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial! I modified it a bit to fit my Bible, and it’s perfect!

  9. Amber says

    October 16, 2013 at 10:42 pm

    I allow for a little extra just in case and then snip it off if needed. Does that make sense?

    • Deb says

      October 17, 2013 at 7:47 am

      It makes sense. I actually made one and did snip off the extra. I was having trouble with a second one so I thought I would ask. Thanks!

    I’ve made a couple of these now as presents they are super cute thank you so much for the tutorial xxx

  11. Janet says

    November 7, 2013 at 1:22 am

    Hello, I have a question. The tutorial only shows the outer fabric and the fusible fleece, but in the actual photo, there is another layer (the inner layer of fabric)…it’s not mentioned in the tutorial? I am having a hard time putting this together because I don’t know how to integrate the inner lining fabric into the bag. Can you help? Thanks.

    • Amber says

      November 22, 2013 at 9:29 am

      It is mentioned but just one line: Then do the exact same thing with your inner pieces. Assemble them the same way.

      • Torrie says

        December 5, 2013 at 3:05 pm

        I just finished this bag and it seems kind of flimsy, are you supposed to put fleece on the inner fabric too? It may be that I chose a light weight fabric? Overall this is a good tutorial and it’s a great little bag. Thanks!

        • Amber says

          December 5, 2013 at 3:18 pm

          I just do one layer of the fleece but I guess you could do more?

  12. Zaren says

    December 9, 2013 at 10:25 am

    Thank you so much for the tutorial! I’m making a few of these this week to use as gift bags for my “home spa” Christmas gifts!

    • Amber says

      December 13, 2013 at 10:35 am

      Cute idea!!!

  13. Katherine Solomon says

    December 10, 2013 at 9:33 am

    I absolutely adore the scripture bag. I am LDS and teach the CTR-4 children. I was wondering what to make them for Christmas and since none of them have the Book of Mormon I have purchased each one a copy and now have the perfect scripture bag to make for them. Thank you so very much.

    • Amber says

      December 13, 2013 at 10:29 am

      Oh you are a good Primary teacher!! What a fun idea!!!!

  14. jennifer dunn says

    December 10, 2013 at 3:47 pm

    hey. I was doing this tutorial and got stumped because you seemed to have left out the 7×9 instructions and when and how to do the coordinating fabric. Please help!

    • Amber says

      December 13, 2013 at 10:27 am

      Sorry to confuse you. When I refer to the main pieces that means the 7 x 9 inch pieces. After you assemble the outside there’s a line in the instructions telling you to then so the exact same thing with the inner pieces. Then you will pit it all together.

  15. Hilary says

    December 20, 2013 at 4:45 pm

    I do not sew much at all, so this may be a simple thing, but I can’t quite figure it out. Maybe when I start to actually make the bag, it will become clear, but I am not sure. How do you get the bag right side out again? I see how you put the outside wrong side out and the inside just inside it, but then how do you turn it right side out? Does this have something to do with the place you don’t sew completely? Please help.

    • Amber says

      December 26, 2013 at 8:30 pm

      Yes, you will pull the inside out through the little opening. It will probably make better sense when the fabric is in your hands and you are doing it.

      • Hilary says

        December 27, 2013 at 8:45 am

        Yes, it did. It was just in the abstract that it was hard to imagine. Thanks. I made them for Christmas for my kids and they loved them.

  16. Amy says

    January 8, 2014 at 8:48 pm

    Could I add a clasp or something to hold the bag closed? And How long do you think straps would be for a cross-body or purse version of this bag?

    • Amber says

      January 23, 2014 at 1:55 pm

      Yes, I think that could be great. I usually do around 40 inches or so for a cross body strap.

    • Amber says

    January 27, 2014 at 5:44 am

    What are the seam allowances?

    • Amber says

      January 28, 2014 at 1:18 pm

      I am so bad…I never worry about them. The side of my presser foot is what I use.

      • Cristina Bustamante says

        February 20, 2014 at 12:04 pm

        Thank you for saying that! That’s what I use and wasn’t sure if it was ok!

    January 29, 2014 at 8:09 pm

    thanks for sharing. Just a question. Is it possible to make bigger versions? I am planning as a yws project to make these cute bags for our new beginnings. I would like to make a bigger version for the leaders??

    • anita says

    • Amber says

      January 29, 2014 at 9:09 pm

      Definitely-just size it up or maybe try the messenger bag or something?

      • Sue says

        August 15, 2019 at 11:58 pm

    I love the feeling of self-reliance that comes with sewing. I may not be able to find a completely modest article of clothing off the rack, but with the skills I’m gaining I can alter it to be modest. And I *love* that.

  45. Leslie says

    February 20, 2014 at 9:43 am

    I love the satisfaction of making a quality item that I or someone else will enjoy using. I like making gifts for people. Sewing is a great way for me to get my creative juices flowing, too. I have gotten back into other crafts that I enjoyed previously now that I have begun sewing.

    I love how sewing is just for me at my house. I can just sit down after everyone goes to sleep and create something. Yes, it’s frustrating because I’m not great at it yet, but I get better each time!

  74. Candias Chalker says

    Favorite thing about sewing, is seeing the look on someone’s face when they receive a gift that has been homemade for them! Second is when someone says, I can’t believe you made it!!

    I like being creative. taking random scraps and squares of fabric and turning them into something I can use is just so satisfying. I made produce bags for farmer’s market goodies. Not just because they were cute, but because they were also better than plasic or paper bags. A little more green!!!

    I love DIY-ing and the patterns, colors, WIDE range of DIY capability with sewing….I love it. I also love making things for my kids, friends, family…sewing is very therapeutic (sorry if I spelled that wrong!) for me!

    One thing I love about sewing is the sense of accomplishment. Things go from a mess of backwards fabric with pins and threads everywhere to a lovely handmade item. I love the transformation!

    I love creating things! You start with a flat piece of two-dimensional fabric, and you end up with something that’s (hopefully) functional and adorable. That you MADE! And the fact that my husband is always really impressed is nice, too. 🙂

    I love sewing because its taking some thing and making it your own. Your making something if your following a pattern that was made generic but once you sew it that version of the pattern is yours. You put the little touches to make it yours.

    Thank you for the tutorial… I am making two of these today for my daughter and her best friend… they are going to be used as sewing bags so they can keep their yo yo making supplies all together. And then I think I am going to make one for me for my bible… so awesome… thank you .. and you have a great site here.. keep up the great work.

    I think I am just too new to sewing b/c where does the inner fabric pieces come into play? I keep seeing “main fabric” but I may just not be reading it correctly to find where you attach the inner pieces.

    I have made two of these little bags as rather late Christmas presents and packed them with little gifts. They are perfect.

    I marked up the seams with a quarter inch allowance and this helped me with the three dimensional corners and I would recommend this to anyone spacially challenged!

    Thank you. A lovely share.

    I love this pattern and tutorial. I used it to make my little girl a bag. It was great and easy to follow. You can see my bag here if you like : http://60degreesofinspiration.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/a-vision-in-purple.html

    Thank You

    Hello, love the idea of the book bag and would love to make it. I’m not very good at following instructions in books, I prefer to watch someone make it so that I can see what is happening. I was wondering if you might have a video on youtube that I can watch? I’m a beginner sewer and am a little nervous.

    Great bag. I have made about five so far. I added a pocket on the inside for pens and highlighters. I also include a coordinating bible bookmark. I make mine about 1 inch longer and taller and 2 inches wider. This allows for space to put a prayer journal or devotional.

    I was wondering if you have made scripture bags for boys/ men. Perhaps messenger bag style? I would love to see your tutorial on those.

    Thank you for your post. I have been making these for others and they love them

    Thank you for this pattern. I have used it with different measurements to make a shopping bag for my 2 year old son. It has diggers outside with a rainbow inside and is small enough for him to carry without hitting the floor or being too heavy… No more “me do it” tantrums! Hooray! I’m a fairly new sewer and your tutorial was easy to follow, although I was glad of the photo when it came to adding the handles so I could see they should be between the fabric layers. 😊

    Would the finished tote have enough room for a HARD cover triple combo AND a hard cover book of Mormon together? Our son needs something and this looks perfect because the store bought scripture cases don’t fit those two books together very well because of the extra thickness from the hard cover. THANKS!!! So excited to make this work.

      May 23, 2016 at 8:49 pm

      I made it with soft back ones so I might add like 1/2 an inch or something

    I like to give unique baby presents that everyone else isn’t giving. I loved this because I bought books for baby’s first library and this works great. I am adding several books and then some other baby items like a hat and some other little goodies. Thank you for sharing.

    Hello! I’ve done a few bag projects and I LOVE your site, but I’m pretty much a newbie at sewing. However, I’d like to make this as a Bible bag for my mom for Christmas — but I was wondering if I could mark and sew diagonal quilting lines on the outside fabric + fusible fleece for more of a quilted look. I haven’t tried that before, but I do love that look. Should I cut the fabric and fleece a bit bigger to allow for shrinkage as I do those quilting lines? If so, how much extra? I bought a yard of the fabric on clearance, so I’m not working with fat quarters and can cut larger if necessary. High loft or low loft fusible fleece?

    Also, if I want to do a pen pocket on the inside, how and when should I add that? Should the pocket have fleece as well?

    • Amber says

      October 20, 2016 at 10:24 pm

      I don’t know a ton about quilting but I think that should work? I wouldn’t think you need to add much for shrinkage, maybe just a tiny bit. Either kind of fusible fleece should work. You can do a pocket without fleece. Look at my messenger bag pattern and I would do the pocket similar to that.

      • Beth Knoll says

        October 26, 2016 at 1:11 pm

        Thank you for your tutorial and your answers! Quilting the fabric and making the pocket both worked VERY well!! So excited to give this to my Mom for Christmas!

    We had a new family join our ward that our Primary wanted to fellowship. This simple scripture bag was the perfect way to meet that need. Thank you for sharing your creativity!

    Thank you so so much Amber. I had tried to make a “grocery” bag by copying one of my existing cloth bags, without good results. I just completed a larger version of your book bag and I am thrilled with how well it came out. Thank you so much. All the time it must have taken you to take the photos and compose the instructions !! The time you have spent helping us has not gone unappreciated. Sincerely and gratefully, Madeleine

    I had my suspicions that you were LDS after reading a few of your patterns, and this, thankfully, confirmed them. So nice to know there are mormon moms that have time to craft as well as take care of kids. My own mom has five kids and is always looking for a bit of time to sew in. Any secrets to making time to craft you could share?

    • Amber says

      August 7, 2017 at 12:55 pm

      Ha! Here I am answering a month and a half later, so clearly I don’t always manage to make time for everything. 🙂 I am just a busy person who doesn’t sit still a lot, so I fit things in!

    This project seems really easy but the lining part has me so lost and frustrated. There is literally one sentence about it and no pictures. I have no idea what to do besides just not have an inner pattern.

    • Amber says

      September 13, 2017 at 8:46 pm

      If you’re talking about the fusible fleece, you just iron it on to the back of your main fabric and then sew like normal.

  233. Lola says

    October 29, 2017 at 5:29 pm

    What kind of fabric did you use?

    • Amber says

      November 4, 2017 at 12:30 pm

      This was a Riley Blake from years ago.

  234. Spencer says

    February 24, 2018 at 4:53 pm

    Do you think the bag will still work well without the fusible fleece?

    • Amber says

      April 16, 2018 at 6:40 pm

      Yes, it just won’t hold it’s shape as well.

  235. Jeanne says

    I love this pattern. The only idea that I think that would make it better is to include the pattern for it.

    Hi, I keep coming back to this great pattern – the book bag. I made it a little bit larger and I carry one or two of them in my car all the time, for miscellaneous shopping. I have another one that I carry daily as my “purse”. It holds everything. Thank you so much. Madeleine

  237. Madeleine says

    May 25, 2018 at 12:56 pm

    Hi, I forgot to mention, the bag that I carry daily, I made a long single strap to easily carry it on my shoulder.

    Thank you for the post, however, I’m still a bit confused on how to convert the measurements to fit my scriptures. They measure 6x4in and the depth is 2 1/2 in.
