Online Craft Club: Joseph’s Coat Bag

Filed in Crafty Alli 6 comments

JosephYesterday I went to a friend’s house with some other women in my church to help her with a sewing project. She had volunteered to make over 20 (I can’t remember if it was 30 or more) of these bags called Joseph’s coat. A friend of hers is the head of Agape Puppet ministry and they give the bags to kids all over the world.

Jessica, my friend, had reached a hump in her project, needing more hands on deck to move past it. When she asked for help at Mom’s Group she said all you have to do is sew a straight line and my hand shot up. “I can sew a straight line!”

It was a fun morning project, hanging with friends and helping make these neat bags. We didn’t finish the entire project, we just helped her move past the hurdle.

I asked her to demonstrate the bag on video so I could share here. I just think they are really neat. Each color helps tell the story of Joseph.

yes… she reminded me. Did you know I/ we drove her husband home on school breaks? We dropped him off somewhere on I20 in South Carolina.

How are these made? And what is the story line used for them? We are doing a Joseph themed Music Camp this summer and think these would be great.

Domekia,

I am sorry, but I have no idea how to put one together from start to finish. It was a bit complicated for me to grasp, which is why it was great I got to help with only one step. You could probably contact Agape Puppet Ministry (she goes to Highland’s Pres, I believe) to see if she would help with the pattern.
