I will confess I'm not much of a seamstress and sewing doesn't seem to come anywhere near as naturally to me as knitting. But when I do have a go I'm always really proud of the result, so I took the opportunity on this rainy evening to re-familiarise myself with my trusty sewing machine.
One of Flora's close friends is just turning five and I am still trying to stick to the challenge I set myself of only giving gifts that I have made myself, so I was delighted to find this little tutorial for a very handy crayon roll.
I'm sure some of you more experienced stitchers will be casting a critical eye over my seams and corners, but I'm really happy with the result.
The sweet little crayons were from the 99p shop and there are lots left because they came in a box of 60, so I'm going to stitch up a couple more of the rolls so that my two smalls have one each in time for our camping holiday.
I feel more sewing projects coming on over the summer!
That's really sweet - and a good idea!
