Pencil Case for my drawing pens

Pencil cases used to be something that we got new at the beginning of the school year.  Not whole wardrobes, just a pencil case...

I have been stepping up the amount of drawing I have been doing lately as well as observing the cool pencil cases I see on the internet.  I think I need one of those now.  So after a little pattern drawing, away I went.

You can see that I prequilted the sides and ends.  The side piece has stripey fabric put on to both ends like binding on a quilt.

Zipper in and ends trimmed.  I left the seams raw with zigzag overedge stitching to keep them from fraying.

My Journal

I had a great visit with my cousin and she insisted honestly, she did! ) that we clean up my old sewing room (which was in the basement )  It was a time of enlightenment for me.  I discovered that I have a habit of drawing in books.  There were sure a lot of them.  Some full some not but still quite a few.  So I thought I might share some of what I've done here.

It seems I'm quite addicted to this sort of thing.
