Who this list is for
This fabric patch pencil case craft is for 10-year-olds customizing a ready-made canvas zip pouch with simple stitching and fabric decorations. It avoids the harder job of sewing a pouch from scratch.
How to use this list
Place the cardboard insert inside the plain canvas zip pencil pouch to protect the other side. Plan patches with the ruler, pencil, and washable fabric marker. Cut cotton fabric scraps and felt sheets with fabric scissors, then arrange them before attaching. Use fabric glue for flat pieces and embroidery floss with the large plastic yarn needle for simple stitched details. Add iron-on letter patches only with adult help and according to their instructions. Keep the pouch unzipped and flat while decorations dry.
Common mistakes
Do not glue or stitch through both sides of the pencil pouch; the cardboard insert prevents that. Keep fabric glue away from the zipper teeth. Avoid putting iron-on letter patches on before choosing the layout. Do not overfill the pouch until glued decorations are fully dry.
What is on this list
You need one plain canvas zip pencil pouch, eight cotton fabric scraps, four felt sheets, four embroidery floss skeins, a large plastic yarn needle, fabric glue, fabric scissors, iron-on letter patches, and a cardboard insert. The list also includes a pencil, ruler, and washable fabric marker. Cross off what you already own.
When you are done
Check that the zipper opens smoothly and that no patch edge catches. Let the fabric glue dry flat before loading the pencil pouch with school supplies.
