The Up and Down Pencil Case: a free pattern to start your handmade Christmas gifts!
This little pencil case has a twist: it's sewn on the diagonal. That one detail makes it look way more complicated than it is, and it's one of the easiest projects I've shared.
It's quick, it's beginner-friendly, and it's a great way to use fabric you already have.
