Triangular Pencil Case

August 17, 2013 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 44 Comments

You can never have too many zippered pouches! I have just made a triangular pencil case. With its flat base, it stands upright and it s great little project to use some coordinating prints. 
I appliquéd a little patch on each side and lined it with polka dots. I forgot to press it when I finished so it is not quiet so wonky in real life.  
For this project I used fabrics from Annie’s Farm Stand by Lakehouse Dry Goods, plus some polka dots I had in my stash.

I have a couple of improvements to make with my next version but was pretty happy with the triangular pencil case  for a first prototype. Would anyone be interested in making one? If there is enough interest, I will photograph the steps on the next pencil case I make and put together a tutorial. It is a great little scrap buster project.

If you would like to sew a patchwork pencil case, check out our tutorial on:
How To Make a Pencil Case

Edit: Looks like I will be putting a tutorial for this project – stay tuned 🙂

    A tutorial would be brilliant, I wonder if a larger one for storing scissors and stitch rippers would be possible, those things just walk right off my sewing table into the wide blue yonder.
