Pencil case with a difference

Little grandson, yes, the intended recipient of Mr Frog, begins morning Kindergarten this year and knowing how small children like coloured pencils I decided to make a pencil case for his birthday, and filled it with pencils.
 
 
Some time ago I made a pouch with a zipper, found the exercise simple, and after looking at the yacht pencil case thought I could whip it up quickly.  Aha ... wishful thinking ... the pouch had a binding which made the joining the outer and lining easy, this pencil case didn't.  Subsequently the pencil case took more than an hour!  Never-the-less I am pleased with the end result, and yesterday posted the parcel away.

Great pencil case and I am sure it will be worth the hour of wrestling with it. Love the choice of fabric especially the star fish - very nautical.

Shirley, it would certainly take me more than an hour! More likely a week. LOL! I think it looks just lovely and I am sure it will much appreciated.
