I made a notebook and pencil case for the little girl of my friends. I added to it even handles. She is six years old and loves to read and write. I think she will enjoy this little "bag" because anywhere she goes, she carries with her some books, notebooks and pencils... You can see here two improved versions. Size -15" x 12.5" (when it is folded ) This case has been made to … [Read more...]
