Le Challenge SPACE for Art Pens!

This month's Space challenge lured me to use some lovely Handmaids fabric from Quilting Treasures, to make storage bags and organize my art pens!

I used a heavyweight wool fabric to line the pencil roll that now holds my set of 24 Lyra watercolors.

The pouch holds all my fabric pens.
The pens are made by Evanscraft for Cross Stitch purposes, they work as well on fabric as Pigma Microns. I really treasure them because, unfortunately, they are no longer available.

I covered some foam-core board to stabilize the bottom.

The top fabric is almost like a burlap, perhaps a linen though I am unsure. Found the perfect little charm at Michael's!

Thank you so much Lucy, and Nat, for this month's Le Challenge theme, 'Space', that has prompted me to organize a bit!

    I LOVE your zippy pouch and the pencil roll. They caught my eye because of the fabric (I made my grown artist son a quilt using it earlier this year). I will have to try a pencil roll and zip pouch with the scraps. You did a lovely job!!

    Your pouch and pencil roll are wonderful, Heidi. I have never seen this color chip fabric before. Too cool and so appropriate for this type of project! I am pretty sure your cream fabric is actually Osnaburg. I have used it alot over the years.
