When we travel, chances are very high that there is a temple nearby. My husband and I always like to make time to attend a temple session, wherever we go. It used to be an accomplishment to be able to say, \u201cI\u2019ve been to all of the temples.\u201d Now that is next to impossible, but it is definitely worth making an attempt to mark one more temple off the ever-growing list.<\/p>\n

Many temples don\u2019t have laundry facilities\u00a0or clothing departments, so we need to bring our own temple clothing. My temple bag is a suitcase and does not fit into my luggage. This last time, we flew into Kentucky and I unceremoniously stuck my clothes in a plastic grocery bag. Very embarrassing! I left the temple with a fresh commitment to go home and make acceptable looking bags to carry everything in for next time.<\/p>\n

Brenda, from Lexington, Kentucky, contacted me and asked if I had a pattern for making bags and envelopes. She is a temple worker at the Louisville Temple and sees many missionaries holding temple clothing, willy-nilly, in their arms without a bag to put them in. Her stake is planning to make envelopes for a Stake Event. What a great idea!<\/p>\n

So, first let\u2019s tackle the Inside Temple Envelope\"\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

This is the white envelope you carry with you throughout your session. I made envelopes for each member of my family and went a little crazy with the embroidery. \u00a0(If you\u2019re interested in the symbolism you see here, check out the Hebrew category on this site to find my husband’s posts.)<\/p>\n

These are very simple to make (minus the embroidery), but finding the fabric is kind of tricky. You\u2019ll have to peruse your fabric store. What you\u2019re looking for is a white, somewhat shiny, fabric. You want it to be dressy, with some luxurious body to it. A simple white lining fabric may be your best bet.<\/p>\n

I like to line the bag, so it has a finished look to it. Now don\u2019t freak out, it\u2019s easy. Lay out your fabric, keeping it folded like it just came off the bolt.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Measure 16 inches and cut. The bottom has a nice folded edge and the top has two raw edges.<\/li>\n
  2. Take each raw edge and fold it 1\/2″ under toward one another. Iron it and sew the edges together so you have a clean hemmed edge. Make sure you keep everything nice and even.<\/li>\n
  3. With your folded end and your newly hemmed end (you have created a tube now), fold the fabric in half again. Line up your folded edge with your hemmed edge as\u00a0perfectly as you can get them. Now, pin and sew a \u00bc\u201d seam along each side edge. Sew from the open end down, so everything stays even.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    \n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a>
    You can see how both sides are finished nicely.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    4. Trim the edges you have just sewn and turn the envelope inside out. I use a seam ripper to pull out the corners. Careful you don\u2019t snag the fabric.<\/p>\n

    5. Sew another \u00bd\u201d seam completely encasing your first seam along each side. This is known as a French seam. Turn the envelope inside out again and you\u2019re done. Iron everything flat and you have a lined\u00a0and beautifully finished envelope.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    If you would like to add closures, I cut small pieces of Velcro and sew them along the top edges. But this is extra and not necessary.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Now, let\u2019s make the Outside Temple Bag:<\/h3>\n

    There are a million popular purse patterns around these days. Some are pretty complicated and others may be simpler. But this is what I do for the outside bag that carries all my temple clothes.<\/p>\n

    I recommend using upholstery fabric, or something quilted; something that is strong and sturdy. Having said that, we want to keep the price down, so check out the remnants bin for upholstery fabric. I bought 1 \u00bd yards for $6 recently, and I think I can make two bags from it. Again, I typically like to line these bags, and lining fabric is usually pretty inexpensive.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a>
    Notice the bottom fold and the top raw edges.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    This bag needs to be bigger than the envelopes, so I cut mine 20\u201d across. You may want to go even wider.<\/p>\n

    <\/div>\n
      \n
    1. Cut your bag the exact same way you cut the envelope, folded off the bolt. You may want to cut off the selvage from the top raw edges.<\/li>\n
    2. Sew up each side of the bag with the\u00a0right side in.<\/li>\n
    3. Do the same for the lining fabric. Cut the same size (20\u201d) and sew up each side.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. \n

        \"\"<\/a>
        Check that the bag seam faces out and the lining seam faces in.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        4. Keeping the bag with the right side in, turn the lining bag so the right side is out and\u00a0slip it over the bag. Don\u2019t worry that you can\u2019t get it to lay flat; that won\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        5. Catch the bottom corners of both fabrics and pin them just like this. I’ll tell you why in just a minute.<\/p>\n

        \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        6. From the top of the bag, turn the hem of the bag fabric over the lining fabric and sew along the edge.<\/p>\n

        \u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        7. Now, go back to the corners and sew along that pin line. This will give you a nice bottom on your bag and secure the lining.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        \"\"<\/a>
        Inside pocket<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

         <\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        For another bag I made, I quilted everything together first, then I added a binding along the outside edges. This is just a tiny bit more complicated, but not much. I also added a pocket.<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        8. For the handles, you can buy fat grosgrain ribbon, or make your own.<\/p>\n

        \"\"<\/a>
        Leave a large opening, even larger than this one, to turn right side out.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

        Cut strips 3\u201d-4\u201d wide. The length is completely your choice. Fold in half, right sides inside, and sew, leaving an opening, so you can turn the fabric right side out. And do yourself a favor\u2014leave a large opening! Then turn your handles right side out. I use a seam ripper to pull out and square the corners. Tuck in both sides of the opening as you sew down the entire right-side edge, or all the way around if you like.<\/p>\n

        \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        Attach the handles to each side of your bag. It doesn\u2019t hurt to measure to make sure you\u2019ve placed them evenly.<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        I like to sew a square, or rectangle stitching around 2-3 times to secure it on each of the four ends. And you\u2019re done!<\/p>\n

        \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        Good luck! And Happy Temple Visiting!!!<\/p>\n

        \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
