Keeping the kids quiet at church is not always easy, so when I saw these fun "art cases" on This Mama Makes Stuff, I thought it looked like an easy sewing project and a fun thing for the kids to have. I thought about the pattern for a few days. Off I went to JoAnn's (not my favorite fabric store) and found some fun fabric. I filled it with a coloring book and a workbook from the dollar store and some crayons I already had. Leah's crayons are really cool with double sided tips, they slide in very easily and she LOVED it! These are the finished product. I am SO please with the way they turned out and most of all how well it entertained the kids. They were quiet during a long conference meeting, hopefully it will continue to work. I plan of making these for my nieces and nephews for Christmas... I better get to work!

I was quite impressed with the one you made for Adelaide's birthday. And I had the same thought...just in time for stake conference. Thanks so much.
What a great idea! I am going to have to keep this one in the back of my mind for future projects. You must be a god sewer, it looks a little complicated for me.
That is an awesome idea!
These look really good. I am glad they worked to keep the kids entertained during conference!
I saw that case in that site too last week and really want to make some for my kids...seemed like I nice way to keep everything together...the one you did looks really great. I hope mine come out as nice. Love you!!!
Hey good stuff!
Looks fun! Glad it worked perfectly for you. I wish I had more "crafty" in me. I think my kids would love them!
I saw the one that Adelaide was toting around. Super cute! What a great idea...fun fabric...and great way to keep the kids interested and quiet during church!
Holy crap that is cool. I will have to have you tch me how to sew properly. I am sure Adessa needs one of those to keep her entertained. Nice work!
Very Cute!!! But unfortuntely I can not sew very well and I don't have a sewing machine. But all the same a very cute idea.
I am going to need you to teach me how to make one of those- they are so cute! What a great idea!
That is so cute. I don't think I could sew that, I can barely sew a strait line :). Sad I know! It was so good to see you guys tonight. Thanks for coming.
