PREMISE
“Eleonora, could you make a markers case, but roll-up?
You know, we would like to bring markers in the restaurant, so my daughter can draw after dinner…we would prefer this, instead of giving her the iPad.”
This was the phone call I received it from my cousin.
Of course I said yes immediately and I studied a little bit some solutions, then I decided to design my own.
I also added a pocket for the paper so you can bring everything with the same roll.

VIDEO TUTORIAL
When I studied some tutorials online, I found that, even if they were really well made, you never have the explanation for the measurement: you always have to use the numbers of markers they have, etc.
So I decided to create my own tutorial where I explain how to take the measurement so everybody can create their customized one!
Here below and at this link you can find the video with all the explanations.
For your convenience, below the video, you can find the measurements for my project with 24 small markers and the space for a scissor

Hi, I’m Eleonora. I grew up in Milan and have been living in London since 2019. I left a corporate career to turn my lifelong passion for crafts into a full-time creative business. Creating with my hands has always been part of who I am – from crochet to sewing, from small handmade projects to full garments. I also have a soft spot for animals, especially cats. I started crocheting at a young age and later taught myself how to sew through books and online tutorials. Over time, I began experimenting with different techniques, patterns, and materials, discovering just how powerful and calming handmade creativity can be. That journey led me to share my knowledge online, first through YouTube and later through classes, patterns, and workshops. Today, I’m a crochet and sewing teacher, helping others learn at their own pace and find confidence through making.
