My Creative Space


Today I have been busy sewing these 'writing wraps'. Will have a finished picture to show you tomorrow. I guess the best way to describe them is like a transportable work station for kids. They come with paper to write or draw on,( which can be replaced), 3 pencils and there is a pocket for stickers etc. They are great to take along in the car or to keep young ones busy while waiting for meals at a restaurant...or for that much needed bubby chino to arrive. I'm not sure if 'writing wraps' is the best name for these yet. Still pondering over that! Stay tuned to see a finished product. I have made both boys/girls designs . I love playing around with all the many different novelty prints & colours. Last year I was busy sewing these for my 7year old daughters friends birthdays. They were such a hit that many were taken along to school for show & tell. It's always nice when you find or make a present for children that they like. I will have these for sale at the Daylesford Makers Market. Hope your Thursday has been productive. I was happy to get some sewing done. Next week school starts back, so hope to do A LOT more sewing for the markets I have ahead of me.

  1. Looks like you've got an exciting collection of fabrics there. I don't mind the name 'writing wraps' ... but I have always had a thing for alliteration.
    Good luck at the markets.

  8. Love the wraps! My daughter and I like to attach a sense of ritual to even the smallest writing tasks, and these wraps would certainly aid and abet the cause.

  9. Ooh very nice! The sticket pocket is a good idea, I'm always happy to let my Bug loose with a page of stickers (actually I let mhim loose with paint and glitter too, but not in the car! ;)
