| Custom made quilted pencil bags |
Finally these pencil pouches are done and delivered! I love to gift handmade stuff to family and friends. Few weeks ago I gifted a quilted pencil pouch to my friend's daughter and she called up a few days later placing order for 5 pencil pouches. Apparently her daughter's friends wanted one too. Alhamdulillah!
She leaves it up to me for the fabric choice, so I went ahead and made 7 pouches. Actually I started with 8 pouches but I cut one a little but wonky so I cut and made a small coin pouch with it!
These pencil cases measured about 8" W x 4" H. It's perfect size for pencils and other stuff too, like crochet hooks and spectacles! It's multi purpose. It's fun and easy projects to make. I made a work flow video HERE when I was making the previous pencil pouches.
To make this pencil quilted pouch, here's what you need:
Exterior fabric - 9" x 5" - cut 2
Lining Fabric - 8.5" x 4.5" - cut 2
Batting - 9" x 5" - cut 2
Lightweight fusible interfacing 9" x 5" (only if you are using lightweight fabrics- optional)
9" long all purpose (size 3) zipper.
If you want to make Non quilted version, you can skip the batting and use all purpose fusible woven interfacing instead.
For the construction, please refer to THIS VIDEO of making coin purse. Well, quilted pouch takes a little bit of time to make but I find the result is better.
