Pencil Case

I actually did some sewing today! Amazing I know :)

I started last night but my stupid machine was being a pain and I was tired so I gave up and started again this morning. Things went much better this morning, that isn't to say that my machine and I didn't have words but a bit of sleep made it go much more smoothly!

I decided I wanted a new pencil case because the one I had was too small. I could have bought one at WH Smiths yesterday but where is the fun in that?!

Now isn't this to cutest print ever!? I saved it from the layer cake when I was making my pinwheel quilt because I decided it was far too nice to chop up!

I am so glad I did because it has made an adorable pencil case!

I used Lisa Lam's The Bag Making Bible Book for the instructions as I have never made a zippy pouch thing before. It wasn't too difficult but the pictures were a lot more use that the words! I do find thats the downside to books over blog tutorials, not enough pictures! I think thats just the way my wonky brain works though :) It is a great book!
