I was quite proud of myself getting this present organised. I got some personalised stationery including a stamp for one of Alexander's friend from here. We then had some fun with paper making little pockets for the cards, notepaper and stickynotes and initilizing them. Finally I made a pencil case to house the lot. Ususally I would get the machine out but as i was busy packing for a weekend away (yes! AWAY!!!!) at SewJourn, I couldn't be bothered fussing, so I dug out some embroidery threads and did this by hand. Hand embroidery is not my forte at all, infact this is the first thing I have ever done, so I am a bit chuffed with the result. The red plane is the same as on the cards and it is a simple demin zip purse with lining.
