Here’s a child’s birthday gift that I made. It’s a travel doodle bag with an inside pencil pocket.
As I was sewing, I realized that the pencils on the inside of the bag would draw on anything you put in it, so I added the flap. The pencil pouch holds 10 pencils and I made a special pocket for the little panda pencil sharpener. And I included Doodles, by Japanese illustrator Taro Gomi. Love all of his books. And for more Japanese love, I used Echino cars and scooter fabric (like I used here).
What a fantastic idea! Great blog. 🙂
thanks for including the red letter day bundle! i adore the travel art tote and the taro doodles book is an awesome addition to an already perfect gift!
Thats a fantastic gift idea!
I Love this idea, what a wonderful gift!
I will definitely have to work on some of these for our Dirty Friday friends,
It will be a great way for the kids to all have a tote for their supplies that is all their own.
Thank you for sharing.
What a great bag! I’m sure the child that gets it will adore it.
