Quick back to school project!

A stash-buster, too!

Using remnants from other projects and even scraps of interfacing, I whipped up this pencil case using the Pencil Case tutorial at Bits and Pieces.

The soon-to-be kindergartener has had fun putting pens, pencils, toy cars, little dolls, etc., in (and out!) of the pouch.

Can you tell the 5-year-old picked out the fabrics? She especially loves the tabs.

Fun little pencil case!

She picked stripes for inside, too, naturally!

This went together in about an hour. I think we spent about that long picking out fabrics from the scrap basket.

She really thought she wanted a violet zipper, but Big Sis convinced her red was the way to go. I concur!
