pencil case

Here's the sewing project! 

I made a....


Which you probably already gathered from the title.
:P

I found the tutorial (here) for it.

I liked it a lot,
and it looked fairly easy.
So I made one.

Sadly, I was too busy making it to photograph it.
That happens a lot.
:S

I'll just post the finished pouch.


The zipper I used was a bit too short.
:(
So there's a little hole right on both sides of the case.

But you can't really see it. 

 

I stayed up a bit late one night finishing the quilting. 
Which I don't think my siblings were too happy about.
(the sewing machine is loud...)

But the quilting part was fun.
;)

I have never seen batting here, so I got creative and used a bit of a fleece blanket, which seemed to work!

 

The inside is lined with one of the fabrics I used on the outside.
My favorite. 
:)

(the stripes weren't very forgiving with the quilting, though. By the end, the inside looked more like zigzags than stripes... :P)


Anyway,

I'm really happy with it, and it's useful.
(a quality which many of my projects lack...)
:P
