Pencil-roll

My oldest daughter had a crafting project at school this spring.

They had to find out what to make, how, what to use, and try to do as much as they

could on their own.

I had showed her this pencil-roll earlier, and told her I planned to make one for her and one for her little sister.

But she decided to make this on her own, instead of letting me make it for her. So the planning started!

We went to this site where I had spotted a tutorial earlier.

Then we went to my stash to see if I had fabrics that matched the pencils she had.

I never thought I would have matching fabrics for all the colours, but I did!!

She did most of the work at school, but finished it at home,

because she ran out of time.

And mom's sewing machine was a hundred times better than the ones they have at school!!

Of course!

This is the finished result! Hasn't she been clever?




I must tell you that they would get a grade for this project,
and if they wrote down their progress,
it would improve the grade.
And so she did! She didn't take photos, but draw and coloured the whole process in a
journal.
One of the last days at school, they should display their finished products in a nice way,
and the teacher would walk around, look at the products and set the grades.
I am a very proud mom, because she got 6 for this. Which is an A, I guess,
in the american/english school system.
What about the journal, you may ask?
Well, she finished the journal at school, right before the show, and then gave it
to the teacher!
I never got to see it finished!

That's all for now!
Take care, and have a wonderful week-end!
