I am hoping that these will be a good gender neutral kid's swap item. I had to work out the pattern again, since the only one I had was the one i whipped up for Jake's last-minute christmas gift. He saw this one and freaked and I had to QUICKLY go find his...lol
Excuse the lint

very neat idea! would you sharing the pattern, as I was just looking for something to make for a class? :yes:
That is adorable! It is not only gender neutral, but spans all ages. WTG!
My kids would LOVE those! Nice job!
YAY! Glad you mamas like it. Off to make some more.
Sure, I'll get dimensions together and post them and directions after Jake goes to sleep.Quote:

Thats all I think!
Have fun
Those are really great, thanks for sharing! What size of notebook did you put inside?
Its made for a 3x5 card spiral notebook. You can tear out the 3x5 cards by perforation, that way you don't mess up your little artist's work. The artwork can be stored in the pocket. Jake likes to put the cards in and take them out. I got the idea because i have a wallet that is very similar, and he was always taking out all of my business cards.
Thanks! That's very clever. :cheerful:Quote:
