The end of the work-week seems to be when I finally getting around to sewing the next thing I had in mind. This week’s project was a roll-up pencil case for holding my drawing pens, water-brushes, and pencils. I found a set of directions online for making one of these for kids to put their crayons in.
Do you see the problem here? How did I not?
Crayons are much smaller than pens, brushes, and pencils. Ah well. It’s still more useful than the cardboard box they were all rolling around loose in.
The ribbons in the original design were clearly not going to hold this all together, so I went for the big guns and added a piece of Velcro, thereby further lowering its aesthetic value, but raising the chances that I’d actually use it. Not sure I should take it on any airplanes, though, given its resemblance to cartoon dynamite.
