Another one of Little A's friends turned 5 over the weekend. I made this pencil roll for her. The original pattern had a caterpillar applique on the front and Hungry Caterpillar material. Well, I didn't hunt too hard to find that material and I had these wonderful pieces in my stash. So this is my version. I sewed the lines for the pencils from the front instead of the back as I was still a bit unsure of how my tension was going on my machine. I ended up not having to worry, a good clean does wonders!!
I can see many more of these being made, I even went out and bought basting spray. Anyone had any bad experience with basting spray? I would like to hear about the good or the bad.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous pencil roll...I've made a few but always just guess at the pencil sections...yours looks very neat!
ReplyDeleteI love basting spray - it is the best thing I have ever discovered! It is just awesome when basting quilts, although I do still safety pin too.
