Dog & Truck Pencil Roll Holder

 Last month I made another pencil roll holder, this one for a friend's little son!  I used Laurie Wisbrun's Big Trucks In Spring fabric!  

The pattern for this pencil roll holder can be purchased from my Etsy Shop!

Today I made two new pencil roll holders in Guitar fabric by Robert Kaufman, these ones will be for sale in my shop in the next few days.  I also sell the pattern in my Etsy Store.  

OWL always ♥ U Pencil Roll Holder

Here is my latest pencil roll holder which I have named ''OWL always ♥ U''.  I have used Robert Kaufman's Hot Couturier fabric with Michael Miller Ta Dots in Lime for borders.  This one has been sold, but I will make some more during the week! 

Pencil roll holders

Last week I made up a few new pencil roll holders! I used heavy weight fabrics from Echino, Wizard of Oz on some of them, the others in Dick & Jane fabrics.

Retro Mushroom Pencil Roll Holder

It's been a while since I made a pencil roll holder, so I thought I would make one this afternoon. I found this mushroom print and added some polka dot fabric, a here it is!

Another Day, Another Pencil Roll Holder

I finished another Pencil Roll Holder today, this one also in Dick & Jane fabrics. I'm trying to get about 15-20 of these done by the end of the week, we'll have to see if time allows me to do it. I like how colourful this one turned out.

Pencil Roll Holder in Swell Fabrics

Pencil Roll Holder in Swell Fabrics Originally uploaded by Swede-Heart
I'm sewing again. Properly. I've had almost 5 months break from sewing, from the time we started to sell the old house, until now, finally all settled in our new house. I just can't relax enough to sew if the whole house is up side down (or in boxes) - mind you, once I get into my sewing, the house ends up very very messy. I get so into it that nothing else matters for a few hours and with 3 kids playing around me, this is a dangerous combination! I made 2 of these Pencil Roll Holders in Moda's Swell fabrics. I just ADORE the whole range of Swell - and even more the follow-up range, Sweet. I've decided that I will open up an Etsy & eBay store in the near future and these will be sold there. I will keep you posted on this blog once it all goes ahead!

This morning I began making a few Pencil Roll Holders in Dick & Jane fabrics too, I only had time to finish one today, so here it is. There's something about the Dick & Jane range I love, it's so old fashioned, yet so bright! I think these would make a nice ''thank-you''-pressie for a great school teacher or something!

More Pencil Roll Holders

I thought I might add a few photos of some of the many pencil roll holders that I made for gifts to friends and family last Christmas. Seeing I can't sew at the moment with only a week till we move to our new house, I thought I might spend a little time showing some of the things I've made before starting this blog.

Being a Hello-Kitty fan since a little girl, I knew I had to make a few of these!

These were the very first ones I made, once I made one, I couldn't stop and just continued:
