I made a few of these pencil rolls as gifts for Christmas 2007. 
I used instructions found in Joelle Hoverson's Last-Minute Patchwork and Quilted Gifts. 
I was delighted with the results. Today, I'm working on a similar roll for my knitting needles. I'm adapting the instructions, and inventing my own pattern. Keep you posted...
Hi Karen,
ReplyDeleteWhat I especially like about this is that is very subtle in the outside,
but bursts into color when you open it!!
Your last post made me chuckle - I have a similar problem. 'So much fabric, so little time!' Yes, I too have been trying to use what I have, but new designs and colors are SO TEMPTING!!!
I bought a pencil roll-I know shame on me! I could of made one so much more interesting and for half the price too. Hey-ho!
ReplyDeleteI love yours though, how clever, I bet you had fun matching fabrics to pencils!
Love

Love the pencil roll, it would be great for brushes...I made some many many years ago that look so blah! I'm wondering where they might be.
ReplyDeleteYours is a work of art! I too have an old Save A Tree bag!
Those turned out so pretty! I am thinking of making some crochet hook rolls and more knitting needle rolls. Just need to find some extra time somewhere...
