But fresh new packs of washable Crayolas needed fresh new homes.
I gave the small people free-reign of a tiny selection of fabrics, (I am not completely bonkers), and then whipped these up in an evening...
No fancy/annoying zipper tabs, nothing too adventurous. They are likely to be used and abused; and I am under no illusion that pen lids won't be lost by the end of the week, and these will no longer be the pristine beauties that you see before you. But I can live with that; mostly!
hahahaha what a creative and cute Harry Potter! Great cases x
ReplyDeleteNot sure what I love more - the hand drawn Harry Potter or the super cute pencil cases!
ReplyDeleteHilarious! How great are your kids?
ReplyDeleteFab cases, I so wanted to make things for my little ones start at school, but with less than 2 weeks to go and still no sewjo, it's not looking great, oh well! :o)
ReplyDeleteLove little miss hp there and the pencil cases are cute too!
ReplyDeleteThe way you whip these up the little people could have a new one every week!
ReplyDeleteAwesome HP. Who did the others play?!
ReplyDeleteIf only you'd said, I have a whole pile of uglies I could have sacrificed to the pen ;o) Oh, and I overheard a hysterical conversation at work the other day about your employers...
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I toyed with the idea of making the fancy paper pieced pencil case from patchwork please, but then decided I would probably weep when it inevitably got lost/drawn on/damaged. You plan is much better.
ReplyDeleteYou're quite a handy mum to have around aren't you!
ReplyDeletecunning plan to encourage them to let you sew! "ok, I'll make these for you, but you need to play nicely without bothering me, they will be finished in six hours and then i can feed you / play / sort out your differences / help find the rabbit. . . "
ReplyDeleteBut it's so much more fun drawing on oneself and the furniture, than on paper!!! Jxo
ReplyDeleteare they really that washable? I hope so!
ReplyDeleteYour pencil cases are great, and your youngster's self-art is fun. I hope it really was washable?
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteMarvellous makes. I want to go back to skool just to need one. Oh and as for whether those are washable. Can't be as bad as the time I took red avon lipstick to my brothers sleeping face. It turns out even after a wash the stain was left behind...
ReplyDeleteI always wanted to have a Potter in the house! how lucky are you
ReplyDeleteAdorable! and the pencil cases are cute too! ;)
ReplyDeleteWashable pens in washable pencil cases?
ReplyDeleteCute! Cute! I love it when you post adorable pictures of your children!! :o) Great pencil cases!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I have finally gotten over my fear of zippers. Love the first picture...
ReplyDeleteTee hee! This is the twin that was climbing the walls in MacDonalds right?
ReplyDeleteCute pic! What a monkey. I let my kids play with textas. They generally don't draw on themselves but always leave lids off or them laying around everywhere. Once they're gone that's if! No more if you can't look after them. Love the pencil case. I've never tried making one.
