Noodlehead canvas pencil pouch | bag pattern review

While we were in Taos last month, I picked up some beautiful women fabrics from Common Thread Textiles knowing they would make beautiful bags. I got brave enough to cut into them for my friend’s birthday present. I made the noodlehead canvas pencil pouch, a gorgeous (and free) pattern/tutorial.

Pattern notes: Since I didn’t have a 10″ zipper I used my usual zipper insertion method versus the one in the tutorial, but everything else was per pattern. It’s a gorgeous bag and I will definitely make more…mostly because everyone at my friend’s birthday party immediately hinted that they needed one. Since Christmas is coming, it is good to have a popular pattern in your back pocket!
