A fancy Portfolio :)

Hi everyone :) :)

I hope you all had a lovely weekend and that you are enjoying this lovely sunny weather :) :)

My job quest is still continuing  :) so today I decided I would make a fancy portfolio to carry around my smaller pieces of work, such as sketchbook pages and card designs. :)

I used some very yummy Laura Ashley fabric....





It was really easy to make this portfolio :) All I did was measure the size of the pages I wanted to fit in and multiplied this by 3. This told me how tall and wide to cut the fabric. I then cut one "page size" from each corner of the fabric. I then added felt pockets to each side of the fabric cross. I made a pocket in the middle of the fabric which I slipped some thick card in, to stiffen the portfolio. I then added some fabric ties and a button to make it extra fancy :)

Im really pleased with this fancy portfolio :) and I hope it will impress people at interviews :)

Thank you so much for looking :)

Big hugs and smiles :)
