Well, I'm not a particularly 'handy' person so to speak, but really wanted a nice pen wrap.

So, the coffee shop that I go to has a few nik naks that people make and put on the shelves for selling (it really is an excellent coffee shop!). Anyway, one of the people that does that is someone who enjoys doing soft furnishing type stuff. She had made a crayon wrap for kids - I spotted that and decided to ask her to make me one.

So, here's the result - a lovely wrap with 1 x 2 inch slot, 2 x 1.5 inch slots and 5 x 1 inch slots - just to make sure that no matter what I buy, it'll fit!

It's got an elastic loop with button for closure and its lovely! All for £12! (and she wanted less than that for it!)
What do you think?

Not sure how I'd feel about putting that Starwalker in there, but it looks nice nonetheless.

Haha, it's not a 'proper' one - a cheapy Baoer one from eBay - still nice to use though. I would have a dedicated case if I had a real one!

Yeah, I love it and Lisa (the girl who did it) does some really nice stuff. Even did a school bag for the owner of the cafe's daughter. For those interested, her facebook page is at https://www.facebook.com/lisabeespecialisttextiles?fref=ts

Looks like a real quality handmade item and the stuff on the FB page is lovely, too. :thumb: I wish we had coffee shops like that around these parts.
