my church bag

I've been wanting a new bag for my scriptures for a while now. My old one didn't fit the standard works and my lesson books all together. I also wanted a bag that would be hands free and not flop around my arm like a purse would. Here is the result of my efforts.

I designed this as a messenger-type bag with a flap that goes over the top to keep out rain and keep in various little bits and pieces.

I added a liner and some pockets along the back side. It holds pen, pencil, hymnal, and chapstick, etc.

Here it is, stuffed with all my churchy type things, ready to go! It's got a flat bottom so it stands up by itself when it's filled.
