I have made so many cosmetic bags but never thought to make one for a pencil case. This is such a great idea to make your own so you can pick out your own fabric and make to size you want. These pencil cases are great for carrying pen,pencils and crayons when traveling with kids in car or plane. Super easy and fast and zipper is not that hard. Make a few and keep some on hand. Nice tutorial with pictures.

This little pencil pouch is easy to make and fast! I made a similar one as a cosmetic bag for my daughter and she loved it. Makes a great back to school gift or even a party favor with so,e goodies tucked inside for a classroom gift project or church fair, or even perhaps as part of a bridesmaid gift filled with cosmetics..... With this pattern the possibilities are endless....
