Bible Case Shoulder Bag:
This is to show that you can always make "something" from almost anything. These vinyl table mats are perfect for making that Bible or Book holder bag for easy carrying with a shoulder strap. Create your own or follow along here. There is nothing hard about this, and if you enjoy working with zippers, well then, here you go. This is my version that I make (without a pattern.)
The size is roughly the size of the placemats that you purchase. They can be made smaller or larger by sewing two together and cutting to size. Give it a try. You may surprise yourself.
