I think that is what I’ll call these: Little Artist Crayon Cases, or just crayon cases for short (pattern available here). Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been sewing an order of 5 of these for some Ladies in Training and their friends.
Here are some shots of the finished products. Lots of dots:
Some frogs chit-chatting with eachother:
This is how the drawing pad slides into it’s pocket:
I love this fabric combo:
And, PINK, PINK, PINK!
I love these – you have such wonderful products and share your instructions so generously with the blogging community!! Thank you!!
I can’t wait till the tutorial – even if it is after Christmas!! This would work for birthday gifts too!!
Oh these are soo cute. I just love your fabrics, oh but then you know that. Yep, life is creeping up on me too. Here are some hugs to keep you going.
Thanks, for sharing! I think I will make my nephew one.
These are wonderful – thanks for sharing the tutorial.
Those are incredible!! I love your fabric choices. I wish I had access to fabric like that in Canada. If only I had kiddies to make these for.
*love* you!
i’m making one of those for griffin. for his birthday. in february.
(oh no i di-in’t. i did not just say i’m not doing holiday handmade stuff. oh yes i di-id. i di-id, i di-id, i di-id.)
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I so wanted to make these for my little artist this Christmas. Now I know what I will be upto Friday!
you rock.
that would be an awesome thing to take to church for the boys – i may have to try one!
Those look terrific and the brown/turquoise is currently my favorite color combination.
OH OH OH! I can’t wait! They are so great. The dots one is “S”? and the pink and green is “C”? “A” is going to love the green and frog one. She is a tomboy and loves frogs and in fact when she finds them, she squeezes it so hard and won’t let go. Well, sad to say froggy doesn’t have a long life. These are super. You are super and I love them! Oh, and “I” is going to LOVE hers. I can’t thank you enough. Now I need to go look again!

I love those frogs! You have such a gift for combining fabrics and patterns.
Tell me about it. I feel like I am in a tornado going round and round. We read all these books about old fashioned Christmas’ when life seemed more slow paced and simple. I wonder how we could get back to that? Thanks for the directions on the artist cases I love those!
Those are great! It was clever using the mechanical crayons since they stay the same size. I couldn’t use those because my son doesn’t like them, my little stinker. Anyone that receives these are going to love them!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this!!! Thank you so much for sharing. I see some in my future.
These are really cute!
I stumbled upon your website about 2 weeks ago and have loved reading all your old stuff. I have two little boys so I feel i can relate
Thanks for sharing!
I made two of these for my nephews. I used different sized notebooks and Staples’ brand of smaller sized twisty crayons. They turned out great! I don’t have any pictures to post, because I wrapped them up already. I just wanted to say thanks again for the tutorial that helped me think through the making process.
Have a wonderful Christmas!
I just stumbled across your website and have really enjoyed it! I would love to make one for my son do use during church. Thanks!
