Design A Softie | Pen Pouch Birthday Gift

20150529-2015-05-29 15.54.14_blog

After making that first softie for a baby shower, I decided to make a pencil pouch birthday gift for Peppermint.  I followed the same basic design, except that instead of a stuffed animal I turned it into a pen pouch.  And since it’s a pen pouch, I thought I would make him a nerdy cat! :-)

And I included two Uni-ball Signo DX Hello Kitty Limited Edition pens.

I used two pieces of felt for each side, front and back.  The outside is cream felt and the inside lining is gray felt.

I sent him off with a handmade card.

  4. I absolutely love him but am sad after reading that you used a die cutting machine to make him... Because I don't have one :( I would buy the die cut pattern from you...
