After I made Kate's scripture tote and cover, I thought about one of her best friends in Minnesota. Their birthdays are only about two weeks apart (give or take a few days), and before we moved we thought they would share their baptism day. I thought about offering to make a tote and cover for her, but I wasn't sure if she was going to get her own set of scriptures for her birthday or not. ... It's a tradition for us, but may not be for others, and I didn't want my friend to feel any pressure from me to do it if she wasn't planning on it. Anyway, through Facebook, I found out that my friend was going to get her daughter a set of her own scriptures and was having a hard time finding a cute tote or case. So, I told her that I would make her one.
Her daughter's favorite colors are pink and purple, and I had a really hard time finding any fabric that had both pink and purple in it that didn't look like "baby" fabric. My mom had recently received a box of layer cakes from Moda, and this collection was in the box. She said I could use whatever I wanted from the box. The only issue was that the fabric was pre-cut as 10" squares and I needed the width of the fabric for the tote to be about 12" and the width for the cover to be about 19-20". So, I had to do some piecing.
It took me longer to make this set than it did to make Kate's, but I like it so much better! It is so cute! I hope both my friend and her daughter like it as well.
