I decided to combine elements from all three patterns and made a strippy lining in rainbow colours to match the colouring pencils I had bought while using Hungry Caterpillar fabrics for the outside layer and pocket. Instead of using a third layer of muslin or flannellette in the middle, I substituted interfacing with iron-on pellon for the outside layer.
Selecting fabrics from the stash was a whole lot of fun!
At the end of it all my work table out on the deck was a bit of a mess.
I made one 24 pencil roll and two 12 pencil rolls (ran out of interfacing, otherwise I think I would have made some more!). The 24 pencil roll is for our oldest niece and I thought she might feel a little too grown up for the hungry caterpillar so for the pocket I used a fabric bought at IKEA last year.
I came here by chance thinking it was the blog of my Dutch online friend Annemiek whose blog has the same name. But I don't regret it. You have such a lovely blog and you seem such a creative person. I really enjoyed visiting you. I'll be back regularly!
