I'm more than keeping up with my New Year's Resolution to do more crafty
projects. In my recent post about cloth napkins, I said I was working
on beaded versions of the purse I featured in that post. Well here's the
first. I've lined it with a pretty floral fabric, but the brown fabric
is thick and quite difficult to work with, plus I designed the top wrong
so it isn't perfect and the top looks a little odd. Nevertheless it
makes a nice pencil case to put into my rucksack or my conference case. The little gold beads fit nicely in with the fabric design and add a bit of texture and glitter!
I've got fabric enough to make another of these (though better of course and with a different floral design on the lining). If good enough I'll put
it in the Crafty Green Poet Etsy shop. As well as being a pencil case, it's the ideal size
to be a glasses case (in which case I'd make it with a button fastener,
rather than a press-stud fastener hidden behind a button as in this
case).

Fabulous! And that Etsy item might not be there any more. How did you know that T2 collected corks?
What a clever idea!
Very pretty Juliet.
I like the pencil case very much. It seems such a great idea. My pens and pencils are forever rolling about in the bottom of my bag.
Thats very pretty Juliet,xx
Very pretty
Great! We still use the one you made for me out on our beach field trips. It gets wet and dirty, but keeps our pencils and sample ID tags all in one place! Clips on our clip-board. (And, nobody else has such a thing!)
Indeed, Titus, as if by maginc, it's gone! Thanks!
Rabbits Guy - glad you use your pencil case so much!
Nicely done!
