Check these out! I made these for my Wednesday night preschool class - they are crayon wallets, and have a space for a little notebook, and an extra pocket for other things preschoolers like to put in pockets, I suppose. The pattern is from JCasa on Etsy. It's a great pattern, very easy and fun to make, and I'll likely make more sometime.
Lydia helped me choose the fabrics. There's a pink and green coordinate group for the girls. But LOOK at the one for the boys! It's a Michael Miller print called "Lil' Cowpokes," with a horseshoe and patchwork print to go along with it. It's rare to find really good fabrics for boy things, but I just loved these.
Last night was our last regular class before Christmas, so I gave them to the children then. I think they were a hit, especially with the girls.
I did make a couple extra... what shall I do with them? Hmmm... how about a blog giveaway? I will be giving away the two crayon wallets in the last two photos here, one "girl" print, and one "boy" print. To enter, just leave a comment by Monday, 12/21/09 at 8 am.

These had to have been a hit! They're super cute. You always do such fun things for the kids.
I have been meaning to make something similar but as it's part of an already long list, it just hasn't been produced yet.
Very cute! I'd like the girl print - well since I have one girl and another on the way :-)
Girl print, girl print!!! Thanks!
Those are very cute. Either print would work at my house since I have boys and girls.
Just tweeted for you as handsdelight.
I've got a little nephew who would appreciate the boy print. What a great idea--wish these had been invented when I had little ones!

My daughter, Isabella, loved the red and denim patchwork crayon wallet. These are very cute and you have done a great job with your blog!
These are so cute! I think I would like the pink one, but I'm sure either one would be fine as I have a boy and a girl that would love them!
