Pencil Case and Caity Did Pattern Winner

I came across this great tutorial on Pink Penguin blog for a "stylish pen case" and I had to make it:



I am lucky to have inherited a wonderful recycled wool stash. The red wool used for this pencil case was a coat that I felted in my washing machine.


The case is 9 inches long and 3 inches wide.


I used fabric from my scrap bin for the strips on the front and the lining. 


And now for the winner of the Caity Did bag pattern.  Using Random Number Generator the winner is #65 Deb!  I just sent you an email and your e-pattern will be sent to you directly from Loft Creations.  Thank you to everyone that entered.
