Sallie Tomato Russell Pencil Case Pattern

The Russell Bag Pattern has been designed by, and written in collaboration with, our guest designer, Kate Baz Designs! Kate has extensive experience in sewing and embroidery. She is an excellent educator and very talented in design.
This pencil case is based on the size of your notebook, sketchbook, planner, etc. so it's perfectly fitted. The elastic band holds the case in place and gently holds the pages, acting as a bookmark at the same time. It makes the perfect accessory to compliment a gift of a journal or sketchbook. The name was inspired by Rosalind Russell and the classic movie, His Girl Friday.
Note: This paper pattern contains multiple pages that are printed front to back. We recommend using tracing paper to trace the pattern shapes and preserve the instructions.
