I was a little disappointed to find that my new backpack doesn’t have a designated pen holder section. Lots of other very useful zipped pockets, but no pen pocket. And as someone who always has a pen about them, this was a bit of a problem.
Easy enough to fix, as it turned out.
A piece of mount board cut to fit the zipped section, covered with collage papers, a band of elastic stitched down across the middle and there it is. It fits into a zipped pocket perfectly and keeps pens and other drawing equipment nicely accessible.
Problem solved. Hope your week is going well.

I thank you 😎 Pretty easy really 🙂
What a creative and simple solution. I love it. And being a pen and art tools kind of person I’m sure this will come in handy. Thank you for sharing.
thanks so much. There are never enough pen pockets in bags so I’ll probably be doing this again some time…
Oh, now that’s a good thought!
I do like a creative solution 😊
Great idea! You can’t have enough pens/pencils, etc. on a daily basis!
that’s very true!
Clever, and so pretty, too!
thank you – very easy really
Brilliant! Going to make me one of those to bring on the plane when I come to see my daughter who moved to Scarborough from Florida earlier this year!
Excellent! I grew up in Bridlington, about 18 miles south of Scarborough, so I know the area quite well. Enjoy your visit 🙂
Oh how clever!!
So many wee things to make to make life easier. (I’m eyeing a thread catcher pattern, a needlebook pattern, and now this! Also I don’t know where my head is. Of course elastic would work perfectly here and never entered my mind.
A good reason to go to our new fabric store (independent!) that has sprung up after Joann’s left.
Lovely, an independent fabric store is a real treat! So many helpful things to make too – small projects are a bit more manageable when there’s a lot going on. Have fun 🙂
Great idea!!
Make it a great day! Sandra Jones
