Thats a roll.

Ive been busy sewing for christmas, I decided to do a felt roll as Jakeb's Santa gift at the childcare party last week (Colourful elephant one on the left in the pic below) and I loved the effect so I made some for my best buddies two boys, by now Ive finded tuned the process and can knock them out in 20mins including material deciding time ;) and ironing. So I decided to make some for the Kmart wishing tree. Fingers cross the boys and girls that recieve them like them! Ive modified the 'orginal' concept of ribbon closure and use elastic to close it as I found Jake cant manage the ribbon very well (yet) and the elastic is quicker then winding the ribbon around a few times.
All rolled up....


Crayon rolls (top to bottom) Denim with dog paw and bone print - Kmart tree (4-6yrs?), Cowboy bears - Logan (friends son), Flowers in yellows and greens - Suprise gift for someone ;), Black fabric with small skull pattern - Tazman (Friends son) his has Magic markers in it which change colours.

Bigger rolls (T 2 B) Jakes elephant roll, Two flowery with contrasting dots inside pencil rolls - Kmart tree - Im hoping the flower print will appeal to older girls (14-16yrs) as they are one of neglected ages, I also included ballpoint pens and writing pencils. Camo print felt roll - Kmart tree - preteen boy? (9-12?)
Now we just have to go and buy a gift with Jake's advent calendar money and we are ready to drop them off at Kmart :)
