I decided to have a bit of a play around with some scraps. I saw a quick YouTube tutorial how to make a pencil case. I thought they looked fun.
Off I went and four pencil cases later here they are.
I then made a colourful project bag.
A clear vinyl front
And a matching rainbow back.
We are to make a project bag for this years Kris Kringle.
A few of my friends want to know how I make mine so I will be holding a little workshop for them. The way I make these and sew the plastic in with no fuss is different than most tutorials. You end up not sewing on the plastic but it is sandwiched between fabric. This makes it a bit easier. Also, the lining is sewn in and all the seams are enclosed. This looks so neat. All you need to do to finish it is sew the turning opening closed.
I enjoy making them.

Wow--love these! So colorful and fun!
Perfect pencil cases and a tutorial on the pouch will be fun for your group to make.
You have been having fun. They turned out so well.
Your pencil cases look great and make a lovely set with a preoject bag. xx
Love the pencil-shaped pencil cases!
Wonderful bags Jo.
Very cute , teachers would love them
The pencil cases are great fun and look delightful.
Lovely work on the project bag, too. It looks like you mastered making those quite well.
Very cute bags!!
Oh, I think I'll try yours. Sewing on the plastic is a bear!
very colourful - love the pencil shaped ones
What a fun pencil case (or 4) and very cool project bag. I made one pouch once where the vinyl was sandwiched but can't remember now how I did it. Tutorial at SS perhaps? (Are you going?)
So so so very cute!
