Pencil Rolls and Fabric
More pencil cases for presents using the pattern from Last Minute Patchwork and Quilted Gifts. I'd forgotten I had half made these before I had Eva so I felt like I had been really productive after only half an hours sewing.

How nice! Very useful gifts!
Thanks for reminding me-I have two half finished ones done too from Christmas time. Yours look lovely and that new fabric is gorgeous and I am so impressed with your socks!!!!
colour co-ordinated pencil holders wow.they are more than impressive.i really wish i had enough patience for something like that.
the girls look like they are having lots of fun.the fabric look great.
Love this pic of the girls, two little assistants in the making.
so cute! and i love the girls playing with the fabric - too cute!
I have had that book for ages and still not made anything from it! Heather Bailey's new collection is beautiful. Can't wait to see what comes of it.
Hmmm....those pencil rolls would be perfect for knitting needles. I love the colors of the fabrics..I could see little kids lovin' those!
love the pencil rolls.... how cute are your girls playing with fabric. you must be so proud.
The pencil rolls look fabulous. You could make them into dpn roll holders too which would be great. I love all the fabrics too, and how nice the girls share your love for it too. My daughter loves to do that with buttons.
Hi Kate,
Love the pencil case roll. I've been looking at it in Joelle Hoverson's book. I bet it would take me 2-4 days though. (Not her stated 2-4 hours!)
Can't wait till my son is old enough to "play nicely" like yours.
Love the pencil roll, just wondering what the fabric is on the outside of the second photo its really cool!
i keep telling myself i need to get this book every time i see these. love the fabrics you used!
Lovely projects. Its great when the kids get into as well, mine have taken to saying very grown up things like, 'do you think this button is glass or plastic?' and 'isn't this a yummy shade of pink'
That sense of achievement is so important when you have little ones. It's good to be productive and I just love those pencil rolls. I think that will be my next book.
So colorful! Very inspiring....
how fun with the little ones, cute picture. Love your work!! always do : )
Love love LOVE the new fabric, and simply adore the fabric choice for the pencil rolls. Such a cute gift idea. A friend's son is starting school next year, and I think this will make a neat present for him! The idea of colour coding the fabrics to the pencils is adorable.
Love the pencil holder Kate. A fantastic gift idea. I must check that book out at the library.
I really like the pencil roll, I think I would like to modify it for a holder for my sashiko threads and embroidery.....love the bright colours too......your blog is very colourful and inspiring

Such gorgeous colors. i especially like how you did the various fabrics on the inside. That might look neat on the inside of a purse too? Gotta try it.
