I have really enjoyed doing a trial run for this carrying case as it brings back fond memories of when my daughter was small. She had one of these for those occasions when either we went visiting ‘adults’ or when we went to a restaurant where she preferred to doodle rather than eat. I reckon this idea saved a lot of restaurant tablecloths from getting scribbled on!
This sewing project is a bit more complex than most of the kits I have produced — it takes a bit more skill, though a novice stitcher will probably cope well enough if they take it slowly, one step at a time. If there is some help to hand, all the better.
Basically the kit consists of all the elements needed to produce a simple carrying case for some paper, some coloured pens and a few pencils. Of course, for the painter or sketcher, the spaces will be useful for the appropriate tools. All the pieces of printed cotton fabric and felt are pre-cut and labelled — you’ll find a zip for the pencil case; some yarn for the tassel, and if you ask at the time of purchase — either a cross-stitch chart or a set of felt letters to personalise the bag with the name of your choice.

As something a bit different, I have created this sweet little Afro-theme ornament. I just love her beaded dreadlocks and bright multi-strand bead necklace.
The biggest surprise of the past couple of weeks has been the interest in my specs’ keepers. They are one of those accessories which disappear off the scene for awhile, and then for no apparent reason — return. And that’s what’s happened, and I have found myself stringing beads for hours on end for this seemingly simple creation.
At long last I have managed to add a couple more of these sewing kits to my Etsy store. This particular kit has been surprisingly popular — partly because of its simplicity that even a beginner can handle quite confidently, but also because of the mix of different elements and methods required to complete it.
