Art Portfolio

Here is the portfolio that I have come up with. It holds 40 crayons and a 9x12 art pad. I haven't exactly got the answer for the thing I would rather use for a stiffing agent to make it keep it's shape a little better but I am thinking pellon might be the answer. You will need a total of about 1 1/4 yard of fabric. I had 5/8 or the yellow and flowered and used a scrap of the pink. You will also need a scrap of interfacing for the handles, 6x14in will do. If you have any questions please comment on here and I'll get back to you. Also I think I would put a pocket on the ourside, the other thing I forgot was the closure elastic, you use a pony holder and a buttone so make sure you bring that too! I like it but I think there is definatly a way to make it better. I will be trying another one of these before we meet so I will let you know if I come up with any changes or suggestions.

Also, if you need fabric JoAnns is having a 40% off sale of their Keepsake Calico starting the 17th thru the 19th I think. One of the best sales of that that they have all year and they've got some pretty cute stuff to pick from!
