Here is a pencil roll I made. The yellow fabric has little flowers on it. It's part of the stash I got from my mother's house. I had cut a bodice for a child's jumper out of it, and only had a smallish piece left. The outside is the same yellow fabric, and it has batting inside to make it cushy. I like the red fabric with the gumdrop trees, but have to laugh because 3 of the turtles are upside down. Sure, it's made to go in either direction, but if I'd paid attention I'd have made more turtles upright, LOL!
See how straight the lines for each pencil pocket are? I have to admit cheating...or maybe being resourceful. There was a very small pinstripe throughout the fabric that turned out to be exactly the right distance apart for a pencil!
I have just one more step in that I have to put a ribbon on it for tying it shut. I didn't happen to have the right color ribbon.

These would be perfect in the Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes!
Wow, those came out so cute. I actually was going to make some to see if I could sell in our shop, but for crochet hooks or knitting needles. You did a great job on it. I'm happy to hear that you are feeling a little better. The side effects of a lot of these medicines are sometimes worse than the pain you took them for. ;0)
