Making a Pen Wrap - Part III

Here are some of the fabrics I can consider for the three pen wraps. I am hesitant to use the blue silk as it is actually part of an old sari I own.

But I have no hesitation using the tapestry that is somewhat bold but rather sophisticated and the right weight.

Or I can possibly use this chocolate brown silk which picks up some of the colour in the tapestry fabric.
Either way I have enough fabric for two complete pen wraps and only have to find some ribbon or binding for the tie.

Pen Rolls

One of the projects I have in my basket is making a pen roll.

I've been fussing with my pencil roll to see how to best adapt it for fountain pens. Immediately I realized that any roll I make has to accommodate either small or large fountain pens. The pencil roll is the perfect height for most pens but my Pelikans and other small pens drop down too far into the sockets.

So it may be that I'll make two rolls, each accommodating just a few pens, one for the smaller pens and another for the larger sized boys.

I am thinking of a felt exterior, lined in silk with a stiff satin ribbon. If there was a fabric store nearby, it would probably take all of an hour to make, but I have to find the fabric first.

I'm going down to Milford on Tuesday. I wonder if this town has one.
