Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit colored pencils?

Yes — the 10-inch length fits a standard set of 24-36 colored pencils laid flat. Artist colored pencils (up to 7.5″) fit without cutting.

Can I make it without a lining?

Yes — skip the lining pieces and finish the interior raw edges with a French seam or serger. This makes for a faster sew.
