After yesterday, I needed some easy, fun sewing. I decided I needed a pouch for all my writing supplies. I love to sketch and doodle. Don’t think like good sketching. I mostly make glorified stick people. Regardless, I always have random pencils, pens, and markers rattling around. I made a pencil pouch for them.
I used this Sweet Verbena tutorial to get sizes. It’s really easy, not even lined, gasp!
Mine is a little larger than theirs. I may have a lot pens.
The fabric is what’s left from this disaster yesterday. It’s cozy wool and double-layered.
I used Urban Threads embroidery all over this thing. I quilted it when I was done with the embroidery.
About those sketches . . . see? Nothing special. This is me with my pencil pouch.
I made this for my daughter. She’s the grumpy one.
This is typically what I draw. The little girls go wild with coloring these. I make a LOT of princesses too.
I made a whole series for my girlfriend of her being naked in Alaska. These crack me up.
Me, with the stupid gray skirt.
No artist here but it makes me happy. I’ve always been a doodler. Papermate should give me a cut of all their sales. I go through a lot of ink.

I think your illustrations are really great!
Love the doodles. Especially naked girlfriend.
I doodle on my postcrossing postcards. And my envelopes. And while listening to the boss. ahem...
OMG!! So funnny.
What a lovely way to brighten your spirits. Love the embroidery - and your sketches.
Your doodles are so cute. They remind me of Eloise.
Adorable! I've had a string of yucky garments as well...maybe it's time to sew a pencil pouch! Love your drawings.
Your sketches are adorbs!
I went to the National City Swap Meet with Elizabeth yesterday--that was so much fun! I first learned about the NCSM from your blog posts.
Your pencil pouch inspired me, and I made a couple. I'd like to talk about it on my blog that I was inspired by your post and link it back to you. Is that ok?
Of course!!
Thank you! Just did. http://urbanrecyclist.blogspot.com/2014/01/necchi-lelia-513-lelia.html
