Back to School: School Supply Sewing Patterns Round up

While on the hunt for the perfect pencil case pattern I came across all sorts of school supply patterns! From lunch boxes to backpacks, and pencil cases to totes, I’ve gathered some of the school supply patterns that have most captured my attention.

There are SO many free pencil case patterns and tutorials out there! Here are some that I’m most tempted to make (all free!):

1. This cute fox pouch from GYCT is actually a coin purse. But maybe it could be enlarged to make it a pencil case.
2. Cute car shaped pencil case from Cottons and Chai.
3. This fun shark pencil case is from Patchwork Posse. (My 2-year-old would love this one!)
4. The notebook paper pencil case from Melly Sews looks fun, and also has a window so you can see inside the pouch.
   
5. This patchwork pencil case from A Spoonful of Sugar is so pretty!
