This is such a simple and practical project that is quick and easy to sew. The instructions are clear with helpful pictures. With slots for pencils/pens, a zipped pocket and an open pocket for slipping a notepad/paper into. The final touch is the tab closure to keep everything safe and secure. This is more than just a pencil case, it could also be used for small sewing projects whilst travelling.

Cute little pencil case, I love how you can put everything in this case. The storage space in this one is endless. Plus I like how you can tailor it to a sewing tools holder as someone else hacked the pencil divider. It makes it so versatile. Perfect add on for our backpack!

Quick sew and great stash buster. Can be used for a variety of purposes and as pretty and funky as you like. I made a makeup case version and a pencil case but I am thinking of making another for storing jewellery whilst travelling. A great pattern to practice zippers and button holes too.

Quick sew, very easy, just a pity there is no lining for the zipper pattern piece included, I unpicked after uploading the pictures and put in a lining, much neater, iet is such a versatile pattern, you can use the pencil case for almost everything e.g. sewing case, crocheting case, make-up case, water-colour painting case…….will make loads more of these, thank you for the pattern, I love it

If you need one place to hold all your things, this pencil pouch is it! It has lots of space for different pens, pencils, erasers, or even a small journal. The zipper pouch means you won’t lose your best supplies. This pouch is the right size to carry more than simply school supplies. Consider it for sewing supplies, crafting essentials, and small tools, too.

The Rebecca Page Pencil Case is a quick and Fun Sew for making that quick or last minute gift or even just to use up scrap fabric.The pattern is easy to understand the pattern pieces clearly marked. When I first saw the pattern I thought it would be a difficult. I was mistaken this pattern is fun to sew and very easily one of my new favorites.

A surprisingly easy pattern that looks a lot more difficult than it is! Just remember to use interfacing and be accurate in the cutting and sewing of the pieces. Tons of possibilities to variate the look by choosing different fabrics.
Julie McKinley –
What a fun, versatile project! So handy for organizing.
Samantha Carling –
It was a great easy sew. Finished within 1 hour. My only issue, was I became confused when it came to sewing the zipper pocket onto the inner zipper pouch piece. Somehow completely missed sewing the bottom to the inner piece and had to redo that part. Otherwise it was easy to follow.
Nadine Humblet –
It’s an beginner friendly pattern but you must be very careful! The zipper pouch could be lined as an option.
Deb Sendelbach –
Super easy, fast sew. Great for any kind of storage pouch.

What a quick, fun sew! It took a little bit for me to wrap my head around some of the instructions, but once I did the sewing went very quickly. It is a beautiful pattern and one that my kids will love. Having a personalized pencil case for school (even though we homeschool) is a lot of fun!
Sarah Hopkins –
A little cracker of a pattern. Firstly it’s so useful, not just for stationary but all craft materials, make up set’s etc.
Secondly, its a great scrap buster, you can really have fun with colours and patterns.
Lastly, it has so many techniques its a great way to test and perfect your skills on minimal fabric.
Magda Rindmo –
A nice pattern that comes together promisingly fast. I like how professional it looks with not so much effort. It is useful for much more then pens, maybe your sewin gadgets, knitting needles or other stuff you want to keep organized. I recommend this pattern.
Renee Chin –
Really easy sew and great results! I’m going to use it as a sewing project for my kids who are homeschooled and have them make their own cases; it’s that easy!
Paula Crebbs –
When I first chose this pattern I thought to myself it would be pretty easy. For the most part it was but there was a few places in the instructions that were not clear. Because of this it took me longer to sew then I thought. I do love my finished result and can think of many uses for it besides pencils. I may use it for my sewing supplies and in the pencil slot put my marking pencils. I do plan on making several more for my grandkids.
Stephanie Carnovale –
What a cute and very practical pattern. The instructions are easy to follow. This pattern is good for all ages and genders just let your creative juices flow. My son loves his. Would be an awesome teacher gift!
Tiffany Amos –
I love this cute and quick scrap buster and just in time for school . My daughter loves it 😍. Thank you yet again another beautiful pattern .
Susan Pearson –
Cute little case to hold your pencils, a box of crayons, treasures, and more! I bet it would also be useful for crafters to hold some supplies, such as seam rippers, marking pencils, corner turners, etc. If I were a teacher, I would sew these up as prizes in the classroom!
Jo Sharp –
Really quick sew and lovely result.
Tara Erwin –
This is such a fun make! I love the size and how much can fit in it. Perfect for my daughters virtual schooling.
