First: I counted the puzzles she has, that came to 25! Then, I had to decide how big to make each pocket I wanted to make. I gathered her largest puzzle and put the pieces under a portion of the material and measured and got a base for a large square. I drew it out as you can see below.
Then I got to measuring. I made sure my inside and outsides would match when I put the batting in the middle.
After I had my large inside piece, I used my two smaller outside pieces along with the spine and sewed them together as you can see below.
Then, I cut out all of the squares for the puzzle holders.
After that, I carefully laid out the holders to be sure they would all fit the way I wanted them to. Once they were good, I sewed some elastic at the top of each holder so it would squeeze together at the top.
Once that was done, I placed the buttons I wanted to use at the top of each holder and sewed them on.
And then, viola! I had an excited little girl and huge puzzle holder!
FYI, one holiday later this became too small! Here's to the next project :)
