It is nothing unusual to have a few of the neighbour kids and friends in looking through my cupboard of things I've made. Last week, there was a request for a large pencil case, black with orange spots! Very specific, but I didn't have any black fabric with orange spots, so I picked out a few pieces of fabric, which I thought they might like.
They chose this fabric, and there was just enough to get two decent sized pencil cases from what I had.
The lining fabric is black, with tiny pale blue doggy prints, so ties in very well with the outer fabric. I even managed to work out how to line a zipped pouch so there are no seams showing, progress indeed.
One of these pencil cases has already found it's way across the road, one happy customer.
