We have become a nation of hot deskers, zipping between home and the workplace – or sewing studio if we’re lucky! As a result, we need a mobile ‘office’ that can be quickly packed up and transported to another desk. With that in mind, Amanda Walker has crafted the pencil case of our dreams. The added detail of the bulldog clips allows you to attach this funky office essential to your laptop bag, too – you’ll be out the door in no time!
Cover the base of a 200g tin with fabric by first measuring the can’s circumference and depth, then cut a rectangle to these dimensions with an extra 5mm added to the circumference. Snip a strip of contrasting fabric to the circumference measurement, 5cm wide. Stitch this to one of the long edges of the rectangle with a 1.5cm seam allowance.
Wrap the strip around onto the wrong side and stick it in place with fabric glue. Repeat on one of the short ends of the rectangle, cutting the strip 1cm longer to enable the raw end of the strip to fold over to the wrong side of the bound edge. Now the rectangle can be stuck with double-sided tape or glue to the tin can with the bound edge at the base.
