I am a working mom with the sweetest little girl God could have ever given me. I have a new found love of sewing and decided to create a blog and show my work!

Puzzle Holder

So, Khloe decided that she wanted something to put all of her puzzles in. I decided, hey why not make her something! So, I began to conceptualize what a puzzle holder would look like. I thought about it for several days and once she was gone for a weekend I got to it! Here is what I did:

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 :)
