More pencil cases

It's odd sometimes when the requests come in, they come in batches. I'd get requests for similar items from different people about the same time. It's interesting to see how they pair the fabrics too. Sometimes what I think doesn't work turns out better than I imagined. So I learnt to hold back my comments on the prints of the fabric and only suggest when it comes to the weight of the fabric.

Two flat rectangular pencil cases. Both fully lined, personalised and not interfaced. Smaller one is made from linen and corduroy on the outside and lined with calico. Larger has US import super combed blue lifesavers cotton lined with Korean import blue canvas on the inside. Daiso star zip and D-ring extras.

This is my first plain linen creation and I like working with linen. There are so many types of linen out there (I bought 3 recently) and they have different textures, coarseness and colour. They match so well too. Must be why so many zakka items use them. Looking forward to more lace and embroidered items :-)

Have a blessed day!



Long time no see

I've not made a pencil case for a while...almost 4 months. It was the most requested item last year but with the school year already in its second term, I guess requests for pencil cases would be lesser. Unless the request is from DD, LOL!

I jumped the queue to make this for Janessa. It's a replacement pencil case. You probably saw from Facebook what happened to her previous one.
Exterior is light blue flowers on a blue / white check background Japanese cotton paired with plain Korean cotton. The star zip's from Daiso (pity I don't have flower pullers). Do you like the 2 resin floral buttons?
Have a blessed day!
