    I've been throwing my pens into ziplock bags and drawers for a while now and decided it was time to get a decent case to hold them. I went to the store near my house where I usually buy my pens to mod and all of their cases were too short for my longest pens. So, I got my mom to whip out the sewing machine and help my out with making this roll-up case. (she thought I was crazy, sewing a pen case....... laugh.gif )

    - It has 12 "slots" for pens and 1 last pocket for odds and ends (far left of open case)
    - Each slot is pretty wide; big enough to hold thicker pens
    - Here are some pics that I just took quickly...


    [pens from left to right: keityo sign pen with black caps on both ends and rsvp back-ink caps added,
    orange ucpsb mx, double-capped rsvp, rsvp cx, rsvp mmx, Marvy Brush Marker, Pendolsa Metallic Comssa v.10,
    Dong-A comssa, again, and again, fabric marker mod, long pencil with tape and grips]


    rolling......


    rolling..............


    final rolled up case tongue.gif


    I would have gotten the pendolsa zippered case, but I didnt really feel like spending that much money on something to hold my pens.... biggrin.gif

    lol. no it was all my idea about rolling it up and the slots for the pens; i got it all ready and she just sewed it together. She just knows how to use the sewing machine and I don't biggrin.gif

    thats cool, but its too big to carry around. you only need a case if you want to carry stuff around, otherwise why not just put them in a big box at home

    I bring my pens back and forth from my university and home on breaks for long weekends or whatever, thats the only time I'll need it.

    I just like how this keeps them all organized and in one place tongue.gif

    Is it just fabric sewn together, or is there batting inside to cushion the pens?

    It has one layer of batting as well. I want to keep those pens safe from harm! laugh.gif

    Yep, I could have made it a full 3 inches shorter, but I wanted to fit my extra long pens in there as well...

    what happens if you hold it upside down? the pens will fall and there's no way to tell if its upside down or not when it's rolled.

    If you roll it up tight enough, the pens won't fall. It's just a roll-up case like paint brushes are carried in. They're plenty secure, unless you go swinging it around by the bottom or something.

    you do know that a belkin cable case is the EXACT same as a pds case, save the logo/color, right?

    I got this exactly same idea too but i and my mum are not familiar with using the sew machine. tongue.gif Later i thought that it would be quite inconvenient if i dont bring a bag to put it in when i go out.

    Suggestion: why not you tie it around your waist with all the pens and..... biggrin.gif penboy?

    news:

    I'm back at school now from thanksgiving break, but when this semester is over I'll be making a much smaller compact one to bring with me on vacation in december...


    I was thinking of making it like more pocket sized, holding around 3 or 4 max pens to keep it thin.


    Pics will be posted when I get back home and sew it up (around dec. 18th ohmy.gif )






    P.S. - I will definetely be making these for people's birthdays now that my mom showed me how to use her sewing machine biggrin.gif

    I'm doing sewing (unfortunately) atm, but we are only making aprons sad.gif . I think the year above us is making pencil cases, but I know how to use the sewing machine now.

    Sewing isn't really that good, but as a year 8 i have to try out all the electives so that I can choose for year 9.
