Homemade Pen Holders


Something you might know about me, I was a seamstress long before stamping and when I saw Kathy share a post on cuffed fabric bins she liked, I knew how they could be made. In fact I didn't look on their website until today after mine where made.
I made mine with linen fabric and to keep the bags from collapsing I inserted an empty cardboard tissue roll. When dear hubby worked he would bring these empty rolls home to me.  These rolls measure 3 1/4" x 3 1/2" I've also made pencil holders from other cardboard cylinders.
I was inspired to make my pen holders from Kathy's blog post: http://www.thedailymarker.com/2016/01/getting-organized-giveaway

I see you've been busy! I cut up a gingham baby bumper, intending to make some pencil holders too, but then discovered the sewing machine doesn't work. I think the belt inside is off because it sounded like it was running when I applied pressure on the foot pedal but the shank wouldn't go up and down. sigh!
