Bible Cover

I have had The Message Remix Bible for a long time. I bought it because it puts the Bible in contemporary language that we can really understand. I don't know about you,but I have a hard time comprehending some of the things the Bible says, and because of that, I don't read it as much as I probably should. Well, this Bible sat and collected dust for several years because I decided I didn't really care for the language style after reading it a bit. It felt almost too contemporary - if that makes any sense at all... It was just SO different.

I started reading it again recently with fresh eyes and an open heart. I have decided that I love it. And since I love it, it needed a cover. Now, I don't have a pattern for this. I just made it up as I went along and figured out fabric dimensions by laying my Bible on top. Real technical.

 I added a pocket to the front so I have a place to carry my pens.

 The front and back slip into these pockets to keep it in.

And here it is, open and laying flat. Which is another reason I love this bible. It might seem silly, but I need it to STAY open when I open it without having to hold my page.

I have made these covers for several of my Bibles, and all of my kids' Bibles too. They are really handy and would work great for any book or journal as well.
