I also made some flaps for a gun belt.. the clips slide down inside. The cheap little elastic things weren't working to keep the ammo clips down inside very well... so I made some custom flaps for them
Now some Filofax stuffs...
I received my newest Filofax hehe.. the Holborn personal. One of these days I will learn all the names!
I love incorporating my sewing skills with my Filofax's. I have some other things I want to try out but this is one of the ideas I had to try out first...
As using my Holborn personal I love that my pens stays put in the little pen holder. But one pen? NO, I need more then one.. I need color choices..
I had this idea of a pen holder pocket that I did try out.. not bad, maybe show it another day. It used up too much space though.
So anywho...I go to looking at the flap and wondered if I could make something to slide over it.. no it wouldn't look right... then I looked down and saw my solution.. the pocket on the inside front.
This is all it is.. cardboard, of course I will pretty it up with fabric another day lol or maybe scrapping paper.. I taped my elastic on so when I was sewing it down it wouldn't shift..
Then I just slide the card board inside my pocket. I thought sewing through the card board would be a hassle but my machine chomped right through lol
Another little thing I made. I used a report cover .. those plastic covers.. cut it down to size and sewed the sides together. I added a decorated stitch on the bottom... = 0)
That is Zoey's art work btw...she loves her pens and paper just like her gramma.. I just have to keep her out of my good stuff!!!
Isn't this pretty?
And of course I have to show my kid off in the pocket.... I use this page to put a post it note for my things to do for the next day.. (not shown because I did all my things today!!) See my new FF keeps me very organized!!
You are so crafty!!!!! I love your little pen insert for the Filofax. I say blob all the posts together!!! give Zoey a hug and kiss kiss from me!!! I'll try to remember to send you a new kitty video for her to watch =D
ReplyDeleteWhy do you need to carry ammo clips? Do you live in Kabul or some other war zone?
ReplyDeletelol , we are just shooters for fun,,, my hubby and I both shoot.paper targets, clay pigeons, cans, that sort. its easier to carry your ammo with you then to keep going back to the car to load.. its a American thing????
DeleteI think its interesting if you keep all the sewing and filofax things together. I would never have learnt about all this interesting filofax info if you didn't. I'm curious to see your towels and see what your mum made you.
