About the project I made, Canvas Loose-Leaf Paper:

• Quick, easy, instant gratification project 
• All it takes is a small piece of canvas fabric, red and blue thread, and a sewing machine
• This would be a perfect project for teaching a child how to use the sewing machine for the first time, to learn/practice sewing straight lines (In fact, I'm going to use this project to teach my 9 year old how to sew on the sewing machine very soon)
• You really can 'write' on this 'paper', either with hand embroidery, little alphabet rubber stamps, or a disappearing ink marker
