I would like to see your tutorial
Michael
These are neat! I agree with Michael, I'd like to see how you made them!
Pen wrap tutorial Part 1
Cut out 2 pieces of fabric 14" x 9" approx. These are your back and front of the wrap.
Cut out 2 pieces of fabric 10.5" x 8" approx. These are for the flap and the pen pockets.
Cut out 1 piece of fusible fleece medium weight 14" x 9".
Cut 1 piece of interlining medium weight to the same size.
Cut 2 pieces of the same interlining 10.5" x 8"
Iron the fusible fleece onto the wrong side of your outside cover of the wrap - I used a patterned material for the outside and plain for the inside.
Iron the interlining onto the wrong side of all the other pieces.
Pin the outside and inside, wrong sides together and sew around 3 sides.

Pen wrap tutorial Part 2
Take your main piece and turn it right side out.
Fold one of your smaller pieces in half to make a flap - 10.5" x 4". Sew it up on 3 sides and turn it right side out as for the main piece.
Turn down the top of the last small piece by 2" to leave a piece 10.5" x 6". Top stitch this flap with 3 or 4 rows of stitching ( this is where your pens will clip on).
Return to the main piece - take your cord and bead and sew it half way down the open side.
Turn the open edge in neatly and pin - the cord should stick out half way down.
Topstitch this side and then continue all the way around the wrap.
Take the flap piece and turn in the open end and pin, topstitch this edge and continue all round the flap.
Fold in the sides of the pen pocket to match the final size of the flap piece and sew.
Pin the bottom edge of this piece neatly to the main piece of the wrap. Sew on, reinforcing the beginning and end, positioning it roughly centrally on the main piece.

Pen wrap tutorial Part 3
Divide the pen pockets into equal sizes suitable for your pens.
I mark this with lines of tailor's chalk and a ruler or follow the existing lines if it is a striped or check fabric.
Sew up from the bottom of the wrap towards the top. For the two ends I sew all the way to the top of the wrap (this helps the wrap to roll up), for the intermediate divisions sew to just above the top of the pen pocket, reinforcing the top by reversing your machine.
Now place the flap on the top edge with the sides matching the pen pocket and sew on.
The wrap is now complete, finish off all stitching and fill with pens!!

Hi, I see the pic in the original post but not in the tutorial :-(
Graham
Excited to see the tutorial, but I agree. None of the photos are showing in the tutorial.
They are really awesome! I think I might sew myself up some and give them as gifts to others!![]()
I will have another go at posting the step-by-step photos.

So these are the photos for the Tutorial Parts 1-3.
I hope this is clear now?!!
