Say Yes to Hoboken

  • DIY: Oilcloth Pencil Case

    When my mother was in town last week I was the queen of efficiency. She’d whisk Henry away on errands and activities and I’d buckle down and work. My mom also did cute things like call Henry ‘visual’ for liking tv, and a’ photographer prodigy’ for accidentally taking artsy pictures with my phone. Aren’t moms the best?

     

    Anyway, so I have quite a few DIY tutorials to show for it in the next few weeks. This may look like a a basic oilcloth pencil case, but that’s just a facade. It’s actually a tutorial for all you zipper-phobic friends out there to learn once and for all how to sew a zipper. And you’ll soon find out that it’s not very hard at all.

    Once you learn to sew a zipper you’re officially in the intermediate sewing club which means you’ll get invited to fancy black tie soirees and rub shoulders with beautiful celebs. Well, if there were any such intermediate events, I’d totally invite you.
    See detailed instructions for making this oilcloth zippered pencil case right here on Momtastic.
