Got Talent?

Last Monday at 7:00 p.m. I decided I wanted to spring out my rarely-used talent of sewing and make a scripture bag. The new thick Joseph Smith manual just doesn't fit in my old scripture bag so I set out to create a new one. I rummaged through the scraps of material and found a cute pink floral print and some matching muslin. I sketched out a Chelsea-original pattern, selected some thread, and began. Three and a half hours later I emerged with this beauty.


Yes, it is way too big for a scripture bag and looks a whole lot like a beach bag but I am darn proud of my craftsmanship! Maybe this weekend I'll try that scripture bag again.
