“I stress … the deep need each woman has to study the scriptures. We want our homes to be blessed with sister scriptorians—whether you are single or married, young or old, widowed or living in a family. After all, who has any greater need to ‘treasure up’ the truths of the gospel (on which they may call in their moments of need) than do women and mothers who do so much nurturing and teaching?”

Scripture Totes

Here is what you need for the mini sewing enrichment this coming Tuesday!
(7:00pm @ Jessie Pitcher's home)

Materials Needed

(45” wide fabric)
Outer Fabric: 3/4 yard
Lining/Contrast Fabric: 3/4 yard
Interfacing (optional): 1/8 yard
Embellishments (optional)
Ribbon or Pom Pom: 1.5 yard
Buttons
Thread to match (we will have white)
Thin Plastic (optional, I cut a flexible cutting board)



Cutting List
Outer Fabric:
Body 1 @ 15”x20”
Handles 2 @ 11”x4”
Pocket 1 @ 12”x15”
Lining/Contrast:
Lining 1 @ 15”x20”
Ruffle 1 @ 3” x 60” might need to be pieced
or Band 2 @ 15” x 6”
Interfacing For Handles 2 @ 10”x4” (medium weight)
Ribbon or Pom Poms

It would be great if you could pre-press your material and pre-cut it if you know how. If you are new to sewing, just bring the fabric 'as is' so you can get help with the cutting. See ya there!
