\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is another pencil pouch I cooked up, unlike the last one<\/a> I made that rolled up, this one folds flat. I used plastic canvas to add some stability for when it’s tossed into a bag. Folded up, it measures 8″ x 6″ – but you can change the size depending on the tools you use.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cut a piece of fabric 14 3\/4″ x 16 1\/2″.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cut a piece of felt 12″ x 4 1\/4″ position it 1\/8″ from the right side and 1\/4″ from the bottom. Sew around the sides and bottom with a 1\/4″ seam allowance.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sew vertical lines in the felt – I sewed various widths according to the sizes of the pens, pencils, and rulers I use.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fold fabric in half, wrong side facing out.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sew along the blue dashed line – again using a 1\/4″ seam allowance.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Turn fabric right side out. Cut two pieces of the plastic canvas 6″ x 8″ and insert them inside of the fabric. Sew a vertcal line in the center separating the pieces of canvas. Sew another vertical line directly to the left of the felt. Cut a 3″ loop (I used a dress shoe lace). Turn the ends of the fabric in, place the loop in the center and pin – you’ll want a 1\/2″ of the ends inside the fabric sandwich. Sew your final vertical line 1\/4″ from the edge, catching the loop in the stitches.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Line up a 1″ button and hand sew into place.<\/p>\n
