Handmade Gifts ~ Pencil Pouch

I am back again today to share another fun Holiday Gift.

This one is fun and easy to make.

This cute little pencil pouch is a great gift for kids and adults.  

I actually made a few for Teacher gifts last year.  

The crayon is paper pieced and is a perfect first paper piecing project if you'd like to give this technique a try.

Add a fun set of pens and a colorful kneaded eraser and pencil to tuck into the pencil pouch.

Happy Sewing!

Handmade Gifts ~ "SKETCH" book

With the Holidays right around the corner I thought it would be fun to share some

of my favorite gifts to make. 

Over the next few weeks I will be sharing tutorials and patterns if you want to do a little

holiday gift sewing for your friends and loved ones.

This week I will share gifts for the little and big artists in your life.

This Sketch Book has a paper pieced pencil design on the front.

  

This is the "girly" version but it would be fabulous in Boy colors too.  

Include some Moleskin sketch book refills and some fun pencils for a fun gift.
I tied whimsical twill tape around pretty Orla Kiely Pencils to add a nice little touch.

The back has a pocket for pencils and pens. 

 I designed this because I was always forgetting to include pens or pencils in my purse!  

Now you will always have them handy!

It also has a twill tape book mark to help keep your place.

You can find the tutorial and pattern on the Sew Mama Sew blog [HERE]

I will tag all post with "Hand Made Gifts" if you want to search on the blog.

Enjoy!
