Zip these sturdy cases shut to store and carry pens, pencils, sewing tools, knitting needles, and more, then fold the top down and each case becomes a stable desktop stand. The pattern makes two sizes, both with mesh inner pockets to organize supplies and an optional ribbon border to dress up the outside. ByAnnie's Soft and Stable gives the cases enough body to stand on their own and hold their shape, full or empty. What the Pattern Includes This listing is for the printed paper pattern only. Fabric, stabilizer, zippers, interfacing, mesh, elastic, and notions are not included. The pattern includes complete step-by-step instructions for cases in both sizes. A coupon for the $5 Add-On Video is included at no extra charge, covering the more detailed steps alongside the printed instructions. What You'll Need Requirements are listed for both sizes as Small / Large: Main fabric (body of case): fat quarter / ½ yard Coordinating fabric (lining, gusset, bindings): fat quarter / ½ yard ByAnnie's Soft and Stable (stabilizer): 11" x 16" / 15" x 24" (one 18in x 58in ½-yard package makes both cases) Fusible interfacing: ¼ yard / ½ yard (e.g. Shape-Flex Fusible Woven Interfacing) Mesh fabric (inner pockets): 6" x 16" / 9" x 24" Handbag zipper (YKK #4.5, to match fabric): one 40" double-slide zipper makes both cases, cut from ByAnnie's Zippers by the Yard. For the small alone, a 24" single-slide with an extra slide makes two cases. 20mm fold-over elastic: ½ yard / ¾ yard Decorative ribbon (optional border): 10¼" each / 16½" each Thread: 50 wt polyester to match (invisible thread is suggested for attaching ribbon borders) Perfect For Sewists who want tidy, standable storage for pens, markers, scissors, or knitting needles Knitters and crafters who like tools visible and within reach at a desk or worktable Makers who enjoy a quick, structured zip case in two sizes from one pattern Anyone looking to showcase a favorite print with an optional ribbon-trimmed border Why You'll Love This Pattern The fold-down top is the whole idea. Zip the case closed to carry it, then flip the top down and it turns into a sturdy stand that keeps tools upright and easy to see. It is a genuinely useful trick for a worktable, and it works the same way in both sizes. Soft and Stable gives the cases their structure, so they stay standing whether packed or nearly empty, and the mesh inner pockets keep smaller items sorted. The zip top means nothing spills in a bag, and the optional ribbon border is an easy way to make each case your own. Both sizes follow the same construction, so the second one goes quickly once the first is done. The small holds pens, markers, or short tools; the large is roomy enough for longer knitting needles and bigger supplies. It makes a thoughtful, practical gift for any maker.
