\"How<\/p>\n

This pencil roll<\/strong> is a quick little project that makes a great gift for a child or creative adult. As long as you have a pack of coloured pencils lying about, it can be whipped up at short notice with just materials from your stash.<\/p>\n

I can’t promise it will take you only 10 minutes, that depends on your skill level with the sewing machine, but regardless, it’s a very easy sewing project that is ideal for beginner sewists.<\/p>\n

I actually made up a big batch of these as party favors a while ago, and they were a big hit. These pencil rolls are compact when rolled up, and an ideal size to throw in a handbag – fabulous for entertaining the kids with a bit of drawing or colouring when out and about.<\/p>\n

If you want to make this sewing project even easier, use a fabric that doesn’t fray, which saves needing to finish the off the edges. Felt, faux leather or waxed canvas are all great options for non-fraying fabrics that are robust enough for every day use.<\/p>\n

This pencil roll pattern is very versatile and can be adapted to store all sorts of other craft supplies. Why not make a crochet hook roll, or one to store knitting needles? It’s simple to adjust the basic measurements to suit differently sized items with the instructions I’ve included below.<\/p>\n
