If you’re just starting out in arts & crafts or simply want a fun activity for the weekend, then this sewing projects video is for you. Dust off the old sewing machine, or beg your neighbour to borrow theirs, and learn how to make a pencil case. This simple and easy to follow tutorial is perfect if you’re looking for a cool and unique way to tidy your stationery. But this isn’t just for pens. Makeup brushes, toiletries and random odds and ends can all be stored neatly in their very own case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To make a DIY pencil case sewing even more special, you can design your own custom fabric here.<\/a> Print your children’s name and their favourite cartoon character or family photos for a fun school accessory. You could even use vintage inspired patterns or your favourite artwork – it’s entirely up to you! I recommend using fabrics that have flexibility, so you’re not limited with your contents. In the video, we’ve used Scuba, a heavyweight stretchy Lycra that is thick, strong and supportive. This results in a contemporary DIY pencil case sewing project, however, you could use organic cotton canvas for something a little more traditional. Cotton canvas is also the perfect fabric to make fabric roses<\/a> – another one of our video tutorials you might fancy giving a go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Watch the video below and\/or read the instructions to learn how to make a pencil case. Happy crafting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
