gel pen roll - o's birthday part 2

Here's a little pen roll I made to go along with the t-shirt for Miss O's 8th birthday.  

I know there are many crayon/marker/pencil/etc rolls out there, but I'd never made one before.

So, here's how I made mine.

• Fold fabric in half (approx. 14" x 14" prior to fold).  
• Stitch along one end and the length
• Trim corners, flip right side out, press

• Fold open end in approx 1/2", press & pin
• Fold 18" length of ribbon and pin within the opening 

• Stitch around outside edge, closing open end and securing ribbon in the process.
• I added a triple stitch along the ribbon end.

• Cut a strip of wool felt (approx. 14" x 1")
• Sew ends of felt in place
• Divide length by number of pens to hold, and mark with pins

• Stitch forward and back across the felt at each pin marking
• (The fabric I used was busy, so I just stitched through the whole deal, but if one wanted a really clean appearance on the outside of the roll, the felt strip should be attached first.)
