Over the years, i have always liked to make the girls something each for their b'days or Christmas.... sometimes i run out of time but i gave this art journal pencil case to luce for her 21st as i knew she really liked charlies one......
this one was big, A4 size and made it more lucy by adding lots of different fabrics, denim, suede, sari silks, scraps from her quilt, what ever i could my hands on..... i did some free motioning and added some quilt wadding so its quite padded...
Ive used horsehair canvas on the inside :) i love its lineny look...
it took me forever to remember how i made the gusseted plastic pocket and went thru 3 lots of plastic :(
but at the last minute i figured out a way although its still different to Charlies...go figure !!
i got the binding on and then hand sewed all around the binding at the school market the night before her b'day...:)
double pocket for papers and journal....
luce LOVED it :)
i need to make me one now.....
