The girls of the family are heading back to Blighty for my Mum's 70th birthday party (amongst other things) at the end of August. I am all to aware of the 11 hour flight & the need to keep 2 little girls entertained (to be fair to them the novelty of squeezing into the tiny loo & going to the loo should keep them occupied for a good 5 hours).
So I am coming up with things to keep them busy. I had been coveting this fabric for a while but couldn't really put it to use until now! Quite apt as Grandma & Grandpa live in London and no doubt we will be going on a bus & in a taxi at some point.
I made these stationery rolls/holders for them and hope to keep them a surprise until loo trip boredom sets in, or taxing down the runway.
I used the pattern from breadandbuttons which call it a travelling art show pattern. Its super easy to follow and I knocked them both up in no time.
Wish me luck for that flight ;-)
Ah, they look beautiful. I love the fabric inside too. I am trying to resist buying fabric at the moment but it's so hard. I have a great game that might kill an hour or so on the plane. I am going to blog about it tomorrow so look out. The kids both loved it today.
