This is a PDF pattern to make the pencil cup, not the actual physical product!
Cute and elegant pencil cup in the shape of a corset would embellish any desk :) Great project to use your scraps. It does involve some stitching but can be made in one night (Sunday evening project).
Size: 4.5" high, 3.5" wide, 2.8" deep (If you want a big wearable corset, I have one too).
Materials:
Scraps! The important part is that thickness should be 8-9 oz and up, it needs a good structure. Play with the colors - mine is all the same color just because I didn’t have many options in this weight. The base is 10-12 oz, I’d say the heavier the better. If you worry you make it double :)
You will also need some lace, I used 4.5 oz lace I made with my lace maker, use anything including cotton laces or ribbons.
Hardware:
None
Tools:
Scissors, knife (paper knife or rotary cutter would also work). Stitching irons: my pattern is made for 5 SPI stitching irons (5 stitches per inch). Needles - according to your thread size, a pair of harness needles. Mallet, hole punch. Burnishing agent and burnisher (optional but desirable)
Pattern is designed for hand stitching.
Formats: A4 and USLetter.
The pattern has stitching holes marked for 5 SPI stitching irons (5 stitches per inch, or approximately 5.2 mm). 5 mm stitching irons made by metric system sometimes fit, sometimes they don’t (depending on manufacturer). If you have 5 mm irons and the spacing seems a tad too large for them you can print the pattern at 96.2% scale. I advise to print one page and try your irons to see how they fit before printing the entire pattern.
