This is a great project to practice sewing accurately. It also makes a nice gift. You don’t have to make it hold pencils! I’ve made one for my daughter to hold her paint brushes and one for myself to hold my crochet hooks. It’d also be a great way to store makeup brushes. 
 
You choose one of my fabric designs and I'll include the perfect haberdashery (basically anything to do with sewing that isn't fabric) to go with it.
 
Everything is included in the kit all you need to add is a needle thread and a little bit of patience.  
 
My kits are available in English and French.
