Tutorial: World’s Fastest Pencil Case

by

Thread-Riding-Hood-Worlds-Fastest-Pencil-Case-Step-10Sherri from Thread Riding Hood shows how you can sew The World’s Fastest Pencil Case.  That title might be a bit of an exaggeration, but honestly it IS a super fast, super easy pencil case to make.  I don’t know that you’d find a quicker way to make a pencil case with a zipper closure and pull tabs.  French seams encase the raw edges and give it a clean finish inside.  She was able to make 13 of these in 3 hours, which calculates out to just 18 minutes per pouch.  That’s fast!

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
