Zakka sew-along : Pencil case
The Zakka Style project for week 5 was a pencil case/pouch. This was quite a tricky project and there was a lot of swearing seam ripping involved in making it!
I decided to use some Joel Dewberry Heirloom fabrics in the Citrine colourway as they look lovely against the linen.
I have seen a few others using the "pencil case" for storing other items - crochet hooks or reading glasses for example.
But I want to use mine to keep my rotary cutter in so I added a layer of wadding to the inside.
And it fits perfectly!

ReplyDeleteI was wondering if I'd ever make that pencil case but after seeing your gorgeous one and how you've re purposed it, I think it'll be next on my list!! Thanks
