We gave Aaron a Bible for Christmas (He was very excited as he had really wanted one) and ever since then he has been wanting a case and I have been meaning to make him one it just hadn't happened.
He specifically wanted a leather case. He thought it would be nice if it matched the leather wallet that Mara and I made him for Christmas. Well it just so happened there was more to the leather coat that we had used to make the wallet. So making a leather Bible case would work just fine.
Aaron and I had fun working together for an afternoon and we came up with this. He wanted a pocket (for the papers he receives in class at church), buttons to hold it closed and a handle. Check, Check, Check!
Aaron was quite pleased with his new case and I enjoyed the fun time of working together with him as well as getting to make something useful out of something in my large stash of "stuff"!

ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteVery nice case! Much better than spending the overpriced $20 at most Christian supply stores. I am always impressed by your resourcefulness and creativity. One day I will learn to use my sewing machine. ;)
