The aisles of notebooks, folders, pens, glue sticks, boxes of brand new pencils. When I was a teacher, I had so much trouble with kids showing up to class day after day without anything to write with.
That's how I came up with my project for the August Point of View reveal... A pencil pouch is a great way to keep pencils and pens in one place. How cute would this be tucked in a backpack? I'm so happy with how this turned out. I had it all planned out, but I was doubting how the zipper would work at the pencil point end. Materials: scraps of black, cream, yellow, gray, and pink fabriclining fabricfusible fleece9" zipperthreadwater soluble fabric marking pencilrulerrotary cutter or scissorszipper footInstructions: Step 1: Start by cutting all of your fabric.
Step 2: Next, assemble the exterior pouch pieces. Sew these pieces together using a 1/4" seam allowance. Step 4: You'll need to mark where you want the point of your pencil. Pin all of the layers together. Joelle's Favorite Vest. About every six months or so at our weekly Purl Bee meetings Joelle mentions a vest that she knit years ago, "Let's design a version of this! ". This favorite vest of Joelle's comes from the wonderful pattern company, Mac and Me.
They call it the Ribbed Sweater Vest and used Blue Sky's Sportweight Alpaca for a toasty warm and beautifully drapey look. All we needed was a reason to make any changes to this already great garment. At a recent meeting when Joelle made her biannual appeal, we realized that we finally had the perfect inspiration for developing our own ribbed sweater vest, the brand new Tosh Merino Light from Madeline Tosh! A very fine, beautifully hand dyed merino, we knew that a ribbed vest in Tosh Merino Light would be really special indeed.
It would be feather light for spring, and the hand dyed color would provide a gorgeous shimmer throughout the vest. The Materials 3 (for size small/medium) or 4 (for size medium/large) skeins of Madeline's Tosh's Tosh Merino Light. Gauge. Bookstore - Just Published Books.
