Art Book sewing pattern
These two sizes of Art Books are perfect for all art lovers, bullet journalers, zentanglers, or anyone that loves cases and organizers.
The large case will hold an A5 notebook in the front pocket and 32 pencils! You can store more pencils in the flap pocket or above the clear zipper pocket. There is also a clear, pleated zipper pocket for all those extras.
This is a great “hold all” for your art supplies, just grab it and create it when the desire hits you. Perfect for vacations, days in the park, or in the garden.
As a BONUS, the designer has also included a smaller case that holds 24 pencils. Make one for the kids and send them to school in style with their own personalized case.
You can now STOP searching for your supplies, they are now all nicely boxed up in one place!
