If you\u2019re just starting out with arts & crafts or simply want a fun activity for the weekend, then this sewing projects video is for you. Dust off the old sewing machine, or beg your neighbor to borrow theirs, and learn how to make a pencil case. This simple and easy to follow tutorial is perfect if you\u2019re looking for a cool and unique way to tidy your stationery. But this isn\u2019t just for pens. Makeup brushes, toiletries, and random odds and ends can all be stored neatly in their very own case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To make a DIY pencil case sewing even more special, you can design your own custom fabric here<\/a>. Print your children\u2019s name and their favorite cartoon character or family photos for a fun school accessory. You could even use vintage-inspired patterns or your favorite artwork \u2013 it\u2019s entirely up to you! I recommend using fabrics that have flexibility, so you\u2019re not limited with your contents. In the video, we\u2019ve used Scuba, a heavyweight stretchy Lycra that is thick, strong, and supportive. This results in a contemporary DIY pencil case sewing project, however, you could use organic cotton canvas for something a little more traditional. Cotton canvas is also the perfect fabric to make fabric roses<\/a> \u2013 another one of our video tutorials you might fancy giving a go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Watch the video below and\/or read the instructions to learn how to make a pencil case. Happy crafting! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
