Just to show that not everything goes to plan around here.....
I made a texta roll many moons ago for a friends little boy. Now that little boys younger sister needs her very own texta roll too.
Being the lazy sewer that I am, rather than starting the cutting out from scratch, I raided my pre-cut binding strips tub to find 24 different fabrics strips to piece together.
Maybe I shoud have started with a calculator..... because 24 x 2 inch strips ended up being nearly as long as the ironing board!
