Show N’ Tell: Journal Pencil Holders
written by marieann
I used this easy tutorial to make a couple of pen holders for the journals I made. I used a layer of interfacing in the pocket to make it firmer. This wasn’t too difficult except that my sewing machine had a bit of trouble sewing through all the layers. Also, there’s a mistake in the tutorial — in step 3 she says, sew the wrong sides together while it should be sew with the wrong side of the pocket together with the right side of the front piece. Also, if you piece your front as I did on the bright pen holder, you should press a piece of interfacing or scrap fabric to the back so that your pen doesn’t get caught on all the seams of the pocket. I’m really excited to use this so that I will no longer make the excuse that I can’t journal because I can’t find a pen. You could also make these for your datebooks, calendars, etc.
