Perforated Faux Suede Noodlehead Pencil Pouch

May 21, 2018

Is it a bad thing that when I handed this gift, which was wrapped, to its recipient she immediately said “Is this what I think this it!?” People are onto me! I’m clearly not going to stop until everyone I know has gotten some variation of “zipper pouch stuffed with treats.”

I think it’s good actually, because it’s kind of the perfect gift. It’s useful, delicious (because it’s stuffed with chocolate), and it’s handmade.

This one is another Noodlehead Pencil Pouch, made with more perforated faux suede that I used for my purse. I noticed as I was carrying this that these pencil pouches are the perfect size for a clutch, especially when it’s in a nicer fabric like this.

I ran out of 10″ zippers so I shortened a 14″ one. I lined it with this emotional clouds fabric Rachel brought home from Japan. After it was already finished I decided it needed one of the amazing labels Sam got me, so I sewed one in.

We met 40 years ago as tiny bebes in the park, and through the years we drifted apart several times but always found each other again at various dance recitals, school field trips, beach clubs, fabric stores, and summer jobs. The universe kept shoving us together til it stuck. This quilt is a hug from afar. I might not be able to get up to New Jersey frequently but this quilt will be there for cozy/comforting times as needed. 

I picked out my fabric, then used a quilt generator at savoreverystitch.com (the last slide), then imported it into Photoshop and colored over it (second to last slide), basically changing the whole thing, but it was an awesome starting place.
