Free pattern: The Gobbler pencil eating pencil pouch

The Gobbler loves to eat him some pencils, nom nom nom… Wendi Gratz from Shiny Happy World has a free pattern for making this crazy monster pencil pouch. The zipper is his mouth, which opens wide so he can gobble up some pencils and pens. I bet he likes to eat erasers and glue sticks, too. Give him a monster face with buttons for eyes, and fabric points across the top for monster spikes.
