I’ve been sewing something fun for Back-to-School—a Roll-Up Crayon Holder! I got the idea because my little brothers always bring their big, chunky crayons everywhere, and they prefer their own crayons to the ones at restaurants. So I made this roll-up case to keep them neat for car rides, lessons, or just drawing…
