Cut two rectangles of fabric, one for the front and one for the back.
Cut another rectangle that is as wide but shorter than the first two.
Pin the smaller rectangle to the bottom of the inside fabric and a strip of ribbon along the middle.
Place a pencil at the edge and pin the fabric and the ribbon around it.
Repeat this for as many pencils as you like.
Sew the lines in, removing the pins as you go.
Sew ribbons to the cover fabric for decoration.
Put the cover fabric on top of the inside fabric so that the wrong sides are facing out and pin around the sides and bottom edge.
Sew around the 3 sides.
Fold inside out and then fold in the top two edges and sew along the top.
Sew velcro dots to the edge and where the edge hits on the main body of the fabric when it is rolled up.

The fabric is from Ikea and best of all it was only �2 a meter. :)

Absolutely stunning! I've been making a drumstick case on a pretty similar pattern that I saw over at Craftster but yours, however, is so much more what I need.<br><br>

Gorgeous material to. Where do you go to get yours? When I go to my nearest fabric shop (Oxford, UK), they hardly ever have anything as pretty as this.

Yeah, I think using wire is a great idea, give it a try and let me know how it works out. :)

Hey, I really dig this. I'll have to talk to my aunt and see if we could work on it together. Do you think it would work to stitch some heavy iron wire into the edges of the case so it would stay rolled or flat as you bent it?

Well, that depends upon the size of your pencils. By giving you my measurements the case may not fit your pencils. You simply make it to the height of your pencils and then as wide as the number of pencils you want it to hold.<br><br>
If you really need them, then my roll up measure 9.5" by 7".
