This year we decided that writing sets were the way to go.
So after 3 acceptable but not quite right attempts I went to have a chat to an interfacing expert.
The results being 6 writing sets with just the right amount of stiffness in just the right spots and lots of happy kids.
I used this tutorial as a guide but changed the measurements just a little (I'm a metric girl and so are most of my rulers) and added an additional pocket.
Each set was then filled with a notepad, a set of coloured pens, some stamps and envelopes and some stickers for good measure.
I also whipped up another owl for a younger birthday pressie recipient. I absolutely love every step of making these. From choosing the colours and cutting the pieces to raiding the ricrac stash and seeing it all come together. I must get around to making one for myself one day.

I rewally love these Mary. I think that they may well be on my gift list this coming year.
What a cute owl. I can see why you enjoy the process.
Those writing sets are the bomb! Lovely fabric!
So happy to see that the writing sets worked BEAUTIFULLY!! (And very embarrassed that it's taken me this long to drop in to check...)
