So, we are super late to join the Rainbow Loom party. My kids have been asking for months if they can have one but I have been saying no, no, no – much to their dissatisfaction! I really wanted a loom in the house though because I love it when the kids get crafty (and I’m looking forward to joining in too!) but I didn’t want to give them something for no reason…trying to teach them that we don’t follow school fads. I bought a loom kit a couple of months ago to put away for Lil’s birthday – but August is soooo long away and Oscar is really into these loom bands too so I bought a couple more kits and put them away for Easter instead.
This year for Easter the kids aren’t getting too much in the way of chocolate, they will get a loom kit and a special book each too. Easter falls at the beginning of our school holidays and this is part of my clever plan to keep them occupied (for a few days anyway!) I like to sew something for the kids for Easter, usually pyjamas but they don’t need new ones at the moment so I decided to try out Anna’s new Road Trip Case pattern instead.
I love that these are portable and organised – hopefully making clean up time that little bit easier!
My favourite feature is the clear, zippered pocket – love seeing all those colourful bands when you open it up!
This is another great pattern from Anna (I’ve sewn a couple of her bags here and here), it was a little bit time consuming, but not difficult and all of the detail is worth it. Well, maybe it wouldn’t have been as time consuming if I wasn’t sewing three at once! Lucky Harvey isn’t big enough for something like this yet! I choose fabric and cut everything out on a Friday night, did most of the sewing the next afternoon and then finished them off on Sunday night. So all done and dusted in a weekend!
