I whipped up these yesterday for Operation Christmas Child boxes. I figured they could be multi-purposefully useful for older kids. My finger is a little sore from sewing all the linings in by hand, but since I interfaced them with canvas and I hate thimbles, it’s my own fault. Somehow, I’ll survive.
I’m going to make some more pencil rolls a la Pink Chalk Studio too. I know she has the pattern in Last Minute Patchwork and Quilted Gifts, but I figured I could figure it out without too much fuss. The first one turned out really well (I’m proud of myself for figuring it out). I’ll post a pic tomorrow or Tuesday–school has been wacky recently.

Have you tried one of those thimbles that covers just the front half of your finger? They don’t feel so bad to wear.
The kids should love those pencil cases – I like that map fabric, too.
