Art roll

Crayon Roll (Fits 12 crayons)

Materials:

• 12½”x5” fabric for outside of roll
• 12½”x5” fabric for inside of roll
• 12½”x6” fabric for pocket
• 12½”x5” interfacing
• 20” ribbon or 5” elastic
  If using elastic, you'll also need a button

Assembly:

1. Iron interfacing to the back side of the inside strip of fabric (12½”x5”).
2. Fold pocket fabric in half lengthwise, right sides out, and iron.


3. Starting at either end of your pocket fabric, measure in 1¼” and mark with fabric pencil. I only marked on the top of my pocket because my fabric design had lines I could follow. If your fabric does not have lines, you may want to draw the hole line from top to bottom to ensure straight sewing.
4. After marking the 1¼” line, mark every 1” all the way down. Your last pocket should be 1¼” again.
5. Place pocket fabric on top of (with the right side of fabric facing you), lining up raw edges at the bottom.
6. Sew pockets following your lines. Make sure to backstitch at the top of your pocket because this area will experience the most stress.
7. Fold ribbon in half. Place the fold of your ribbon along the right edge of your crayon roll. With tails facing inward. Pin in place.
8. If you are using elastic, fold your elastic in half, but place the two cut edges along the outer edge. You'll want the loop facing in.
9. Place outside fabric on top, right sides together. Pin in place. Sew around the outside with ¼” seam, leaving about 4” for turning.
10. Turn, trim corners, and iron.
11. Starting at your opening for turning, topstitch around your crayon roll.
12. If you chose to use elastic, put crayons in pockets, roll it up and mark where the button should be. Sew on button, being careful not to sew a pocket closed.
