Scripture Case

SCRIPTURES CASE

 

This pattern is for a scriptures carrying case that will fit the standard LDS (Latter-day Saints) Quad set or a KJV Bible and Triple combination (Book of Mormon, Doctrine & Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price).  I made mine using a country blue yarn.  You can make it out any color you want.

ZIPPER

Sew zipper along opening.  The length of the zipper will depend on how much you want the case to open.  If you want it to lay flat, zipper will need to run entire distance of opening.
