Well, today is just to show you my first DT project for Fiskars and as most of us use pens of some sort in our crafting, I came up with a travel holder to keep them tidy. I made my first one to hold Distress Markers and it would be easily adapted to hold other makes as well. I will show you how it was made as I know there are lots of crafters out there that might want to give it a go and I will always be here to help with anything you are not sure about. I did find the Fiskars cutting board such a boon in my Craft room too, saved me going downstairs to the dining room table. Hope you can see from the pictures what I have done. I really enjoyed making this first project. Fiskarettes have a great challenge site with excellent prizes, just click on the logo on my sidebar and it will take to you challenges. Hugs Rita xx
The sizes I used are as follows. I used the Eclectic Elements 4.5" squares to make it to 22" X 9 " to suit my pens. The same size to cut the lining along with a piece of iron on vilene to match, the pocket was 22 X 6 and each channel was 1" to suit my pens. Hope you can understand my instructions, being a Dressmaking teacher I'm more used to showing how things are done. XX

I used calico for the lining and a piece of polycotton for the pocket.

Wow, Rita - what an amazing first project for Fiskars - they must be jumping up and down with delight. This is so inspired, and looks fabulous in those great Tim fabrics - these would absolutely sell like hotcakes!! Magnificent work - makes me wish sewing machines didn't always break when I sit down at them!!
