Rag Quilted Christmas Tree Skirt Sewing Tutorial

My last Christmas Tree Skirt was from Home Interiors. It was super cute, with 3D Snowmen & Santas on it, but those became a midnight snack for our cats. After they maimed Santa & Frosty, someone also decided to puke on it. Unfortunately for me, Santa was dry-clean-only. Well, let's just say that dry-clean-only things don't belong in my house, on the floor. It was a bit of a lost cause. Since it was time for a new tree skirt, this is what I came up with... Not only is it still cute and quilty-looking, but it's much stronger and pet-proof... best of all, I can throw it in the washer whenever I need to!

Rag Bag Sewing Tutorial

As if I don't have enough bags already! I didn't have a cute one in these exact proportions though. This fun little bag is made by rag quilting squares together in the shape of a bag. It's super simple, and (in my humble opinion) super cute! The size is perfect for carrying a couple binders or notebooks, your Bible and class material, etc.

Make Your Own Bible Cover (Sewing Tutorial)

My Bible is larger than the typical size which made it a pain to find a cover for, especially since I’m picky anyway. Many Bible covers have a strap coming out of the spine end which means that the Bible is resting on its pages when being carried by the strap. For stiff Bibles or those w/ hard covers this probably doesn’t make a difference, but since mine’s soft and I want to keep the pages in good shape, I want the Bible to be resting on its spine while being carried by the straps instead. So I’ve designed it according to that requirement. I also placed a generous sized hidden pocket in it to accommodate my pencil case for underlining, as well as a couple outer pockets b/c it’s nice to have a place to stash a few papers.
