You need a place to keep those pesky, roly poly, disappear-y pencils.
You could make one like this...
 |
| pick some pencils and cut two pieces of fabric that will be long enough for your pencils. |
 |
| hem long edges of each piece, fold top 1cm (1/3 inch) and sew as shown - repeat on other piece |
 |
| (scuse the red nails - was having a la dee da day!) pin long edges right side facing leaving the folded section unpinned. |
 |
| like so. |
 |
| sew all three sides (double stitch for strength) |
 |
| that top bit is still open...! |
 |
| turn right side out, thread ribbon through one side of opening and back to the other side |
 |
| pin ribbon to itself |
 |
| repeat with second piece of ribbon going the opposite way - it will tie on the other side |
 |
| like so |
 |
| ta da! |
Cool idea Glenda! Your tutorial makes it seem so easy :)
ReplyDeleteIt was! You are a knitting champion so this should be a walk in the park for you! I have a tendency not to measure things or cut straight though... it can lead me astray. Have a go :)
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Why do we stop using pencil cases after school anyway? They are a must for any handbag... Maybe if I used one I wouldn't loose so many pens! PS Loved the nails, very hot :)
