Another Crayon Roll

Another crayon roll to add to my Christmas present pile.  Well, honestly, the only Christmas presents I have so far are these two crayon rolls - but it's a start.

It's made from the same tutorial as the other one, as I think they are rather cute.

This one destined for a special little girl that my sister-in-law fosters, and as she's slightly older I have used ribbon ties instead of buttons. 

(You can still see the marks I made for the sewing line for each crayon 'tube' in some of these pictures, but they will soon disappear.)

[As an update to this, I decided I really didn't like the ties so I'm going to attach buttons and use a hair tie to fasten it.]

Now Thanksgiving is almost on us, my thoughts are turning to Christmas and so I thought I'd make this crayon roll for the little girl next door (me having no children of the right age for it!).  It's almost finished, but I just need to find a fastener for the two buttons.  I made this following a tutorial from You Go Girl which you can find here: http://yougogirl.typepad.com/you_go_girl/2009/02/guess-what-today-is-no-its-not-my-birthday-nope-not-my-anniversary-groundhog-day-has-passed-and-valentines-isnt-yet-here.html

In this photo, you can see that I 'flattened' the bottom of each pocket.

A closer view of the main fabric used.  All the fabric came from Connecting Threads.

You can see the inside fabric in the following two photos

I think I'll try making one with ties next time, for a change.  I'll keep you posted.
