Pencil Pouches

One of my goals this summer was to make some pencil pouches for my boys. Of course, they didn't know this so it was a surprise. I had all summer to make them, and I bought fabric on Friday, washed it on Saturday, and didn't get them made until Sunday. The day before school started!



They were pleasantly surprised when they saw them, as they are BIG Alabama fans. I asked them if their friends liked them and they said, "Yeah! Well, all of them except the Auburn fans!"

I also made one for a friend's daughter out of the Groovy Guitar fabric by Michael Miller with black and gray ta dot fabric on the inside. It turned out cute. I think she liked it. But I forgot to take a picture of it :(

This week I will be linking up to:

New Items on Etsy

After several requests for zippered pouches, I sat down and made a few yesterday. I am in the process of listing them in my Etsy Shop now.....just blogging while the pictures are loading.

A friend of mine, who will remain anonymous, asked me if I made these. She told me her son had gotten in her purse the other day and pulled out a "feminine product" and wanted something to hide them in. So I thought that would be a great item for moms, teens, and tweens alike! And, of course, you are not limited to using them only for "feminine products". My SIL mentioned using them for her camera accessories, like extra batteries and SD cards. They would also be great to give as gifts with something small inside, like maybe....oh.....a bookmark or a set of magnets! These are also the perfect size for a mirrored compact and lip gloss/lipstick or for jewelry when traveling.

I tried putting an unsharpened pencil in one and it was just a tad too small. So I am going to order some zippers just a little bigger and make some pencil/marker pouches with some fun fabric.

I have a laundry basket full of new fabrics that I am chomping at the bit to cut into! Keep checking back often to see what I get listed! I am open to any ideas you may be willing to share! Just leave them below in the comments :)
