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!

Great idea for your "pencil" case! And I love the fabrics you chose. Heirloom is a favorite!
It looks lovely (and so simple!) Glad to hear that I wasn't alone in needing the services of a seam ripper to get this project finished!
Perfect! Love that rotary case idea.
Looks great and such a good idea to use it for your rotary cutter.
Cool idea for it, I may tackle one later...
It WAS a little tricky, wasn't it? Yours looks great & what a nice idea for your rotary cutter!
I 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
Ohhhh, using it for a rotary! I love that idea!
Man, rotary cutters deserve a lovely place to sleep.
