Frankenstein's pencil roll



And so it was that Hoppo Bumpo tried to create the paragon of stationery storage from scavenged fabric stash and batting. But upon bringing it to life, she realised that there was something odd about the creation. It was half pencil roll; half quilted pot-holder. Dismayed, she gifted it to a five-year-old (who wouldn't know what a pot-holder was), then fled.

    You should put the kids to use haha. It is great, and I have that spotty fabric too! Don't know where from now, but shazam! Thanks for the Patchwork on Central tip, would have loved an afternoon there on my own. And the girls outfit is soooo cute, great choice of fabric.
