DIY Tray Pencil Case FREE sewing tutorial (with video)
This is a DIY Tray Pencil Case FREE sewing tutorial (with video tutorial) from the designer Sewing Times.
This is a long box-shaped pencil case, with dividers, ideal to keep pens and pencils separate, or to organise pens or brushes by type or color. This neat divided storage bag pattern could also be used as a makeup bag, or for other small items such as jewelry.
When you open the zipper, the bag opens up very wide and a tray divided into three compartments appears. It’s convenient to organize things by dividing them.
