Is it really february?

My oldest daughter's birthday was yesterday. We celebrated with her friends at this cool place called PLAY Boutique. If you are ever in Portland with a restless toddler or preschooler, go check it out.

I made all her little friends a crayon art folio as party favors. So basically it is a little travel briefcase with pockets for crayons, a pad of paper, and a separate pocket for stickers or artsy knickknacks. The pattern is by ginia18 on etsy and can be found here.


Here is the one that S chose for herself. Main fabric is Amy Butler and polka dots are Michael Miller. I had a fat quarter piece of the Amy Butler and ran out, but lengthened the piece with the polka dots which I also used for the interior.

Here is the interior view. The green fabric is another Amy Butler.

Here is the interior of another art folio with polka dots again and a sweet birdie print from JoAnn's.

Exterior shot of the same folio. Don't you love the birds and trees? As much as I hate JoAnn's I do sometimes find really cute prints.

All 16 of the folios lined up in a row...

I'll be back in the next few days to post more pictures of projects that I've been working on.
