I’ve been sewing and crafting for longer than I’ve been blogging. While I was in Utah I was “sneaky” and went around and took some photos of a few things that I made in the past that never got blogged before.
This week I’ll share a few with you. Most don’t have tutorials, but you can probably figure them out.
I made this crayon hold for my nephew for Christmas a couple of years ago. There are lots of tutorials out there now so I’m sure you can find one of how to make it.
It’s made from American Jane laminated cotton. I embroidered his name on the front the put a little ric rack in the seams.
On the inside is a pocket to hold a steno pad (tried to find a standard size one so they could replace it when it was full). And a divided pocket to hold all of his crayons.
The whole thing folds up in half and ties shut, with little handles to make it easier for little hands to carry.
It’s one of my favorite projects ever! I may be persuaded to post a tutorial, we’ll see.
gorgeous!!!!! so should have its own tutorial!!!! PLEASE? PLEASE? PLEASE???
WOW i like that, never considered putting a handle and tie…adding to my to-make list
Post Melissa Post…and find that cute fabric too!
My nephews name is Cade also! I have never heard of another one, mine is in Australia though
Love the crayon holder too.
I have this fabric and would love a tutorial!
I agree – you should post a tutorial! I’ve been wanting to make one of these for each of my children… Please?
So cute, Melissa! Did you make the fabric into the oilcloth or did you buy it as oilcloth? I know you can buy something to turn fabric into oilcloth, but I don’t know what that is!
That’s adorable, I’ve been planning on making those for Christmas gifts.
paaaaaaaahhhhhhhlease!!!!I would love to see how you made this. I mean I think I can figure it out but tutorials make things so much easier:) Well maybe not for you but maybe us:) WE LOVE YOU!
I know my two little granddaughters would really enjoy this — I sure would appreciate a tutorial. You are so creative and I really enjoy reading your blog!
Smart to make it with laminated cotton- never thought of that. Very cute!
I love that material. Perfect for the project!!!!
I like it very much! I would very much like to see the tutorial!
I just love it. I would very much like to make it. Could you please publish the tutorial?
