Not embroidery but a colouring tote bag, this has a velcro pocket in front for hidden treasures and some fun stuff inside & perfect for road trips. We have friends come from out of town with their small kids & the boy is always bored with his toys so just like the old days before electronic gizmos we coloured to pass the time. Two of my brothers learned to draw this way & both are really quite good so maybe this will inspire a Michael Angelo............ lol Nah it's just fun.

well the colouring book was my guide & I added an inch to that size opened up. & I measured the pockets of each item I knew I was putting inside the holder. Close to an 8x12

A fabulous design Loralye and so easy to pack everything away neatly when all have finished. These sort of covers are great for your sewing items as well, eg. Cutting board, ruler, scissors, rotary cutters etc. I love useful things. Love Chris

Wow Loralye, this is fabulous. It's great to be able to store little kiddies crayons away as the boxes usually tear. How do you find the time to do all your beautiful projects. xxx
