New oilcloth pencil cases for school
Sometimes you see oilcloth or "Tissu enduit" in French, and the designs are just so great. I use them mostly to make pencil cases for the girls, and only buy half a metre of a design.
Here is my latest batch, made this afternoon.
Today I made 4, and 2 of them have gone already for DD3 and her best friend Bernadette. They were pretty excited to have them.
I can't remember where I bought the fabric, but I think it was DD1 who chose it. Tha't s why I have some spares.
To be able to stand, I gave them this cornered bottom.
There isn't any lining, which makes them fast to sew.
This smarties fabric I found in Dunelm, I suppose it is primarily for children's parties. It was cheap anyway, and just perfect for a pencil case. Cheerful.
I used the same construction, and DD4 has got one since this morning. I have one spare.
Have fun sewing.

I've never used oil-cloth but I'd love to have a go!
Could you help us all with a tutorial??
Thanks Pascale
Lovely pencil cases ! Good job Pascale, as usual ;-) Kisses from Normandy. Karine
I am in awe of anyone who can do zips! my favourite is the smartie fabric
oldest daughter's favourite joke . . . Why did the m&m go to school? He wanted to be a smartie!
Yes zips are my downfall too.And a tutorial would be good!
Love your pencil cases Pascale.

You have given me an idea Pascalle on what to do with the piece of oil cloth I have left over from making bags last year. I'm sure my local school would love them for their craft stall.
