DIY Art caddy | Gör-det-själv: Pysselfodral

We will go skiing in a few weeks together with friends, and since their daughters recently turned 2 and 4, I thought I'd make them each a birthday gift. In pink, since that hasn't been the color of choice recently around here. One of the challenges with having a four year old son...

Anyway, I made them art caddies to hold crayons, notepads, stickers, and small books. I made one for my son a few years ago using this pattern from Mr Monkeysuit. This time I adjusted it a bit, adding a flap so that the things don't keep falling out, and changing the size slightly. 

I liked the way they turned out, matching but not exactly the same. Hopefully they will come to use during travels, restaurant visits, or at other times when you need something to do. They fit nicely in a handbag or in the kid's own backpack. You can adjust the pockets to fit stuff of your own choice. I will also add small notepads (behind the stickers). All fabric is from Panduro.

And this is the one I made for my son using the original tutorial (without the extra flap):

Summary in Swedish: Här är mitt första bidrag till Husmorsskolans Syförening. Jag har gjort två fodral som är oerhört bra att ha med sig på restaurang, resor eller när helst man behöver sysselsätta barnen en stund. De kan justeras efter behag, dessa innehåller kritor, pennor, klistermärken och Pixiböcker. Ska också köpa små anteckningsblock och lägga i. Mönstret jag har utgått från finns hos Mr Monkeysuit, men jag har justerat det lite och bland annat lagt till en flik så att sakerna inte trillar ut.
