Pencils; tamed.

| 5 Comments

With my focus on journaling and drawing, I decided to make a pencil case for all that I will need to carry back and forth to figure drawing sessions. I had the machine quilting samples for the International Quilt Fest: Quilt Scene article I wrote and went at it.

The bag is modeled after a bag I saw while shopping at this pen store (scroll down). I didn't put the small pocket in as you see in the inspiration, though I wish I had, it would carry a sharpener and eraser quite nicely. A mod in retrospect? hm.

I like how it becomes a pencil cup, though it is a little soft and wobbly, of course.

I did all of this between 7:30 and 9 yesterday morning. My parents visited me and we spent the day eating our way through just some of what Brooklyn has to offer.

It was a great day, but much too short. Don't we look well fed and happy?

Cute pouch - as usual. I wouldn't expect anything less. . .

I am so glad you a re feeling better! Your parents are beautiful (so is the pencil pouch). Have a great weekend.

We had an outstanding time visiting with you and yes, were VERY well fed. The pencil pouch is super, actually looks better in person.

Your comment on becoming a pencil cup made me think that maybe you could create a pouch like that that actually fit a cup in the bottom so it would really be a pencil cup. Know what I mean?
