New pencil case for my niece, Jie.

When I was back to my hometown for holidays, young lady came to me and asked politely if I could make a pencil case for her.  You know I surely will, my nieces and nephews are so precious to me.  Once I promised,  I will make sure I keep to it.  I have been looking for fabrics for the past few weeks, finally get something I liked. 

I don't think I want to make a very common type of pencil case.  I want a pencil case that look like a bag or small pouch, that surely look so cute. And my niece can use it as a pouch too.  2 ways of usage .

Here is the result



Remember the rubber stamps I bought earlier.  I can use it to make beautiful fabric label as shown below, the ink I used was from Versa Craft, Japan, it's fabric ink. Maybe I should look for a black ink next time. 


Collecting zipper heads is one of my hobby.  This little tea cup set zipper head really come in handy for this project.  look at how cute it is besides adding such beautiful touch to this pencil case.  (I am so happy with the result ^v^)




As for the inner fabric, I used something pinky, girls love pink right ?  Bet my niece is going to love it for sure.


Mission completed, time to relax !!

It's so sweet of you to keep your promise. I am sure she has been waiting, and I am happy that she will not be disappointed :) The pencil case looks wonderful, I can see her showing it off with a big smile! Maybe create a tag with her name on the inside just in case she misplaces it? Great job!

Thank you, dear.

I already showed her in my facebook just now, she loves it so much. Give me an "email kiss". It's just difficult for me to see the disappointed. I will surely make each of my niece and nephew a handmade goodies in the future.

I thought of sewing up her name, maybe I should ... Thanks for the suggestion !!
