Step 6Sew pen holder

Sew pen holder
To make a simple pen holder, cut two small pieces of elastic (two or three inches each is plenty). Fold the ends under and pin the strips a few inches apart--in the example, they are placed towards an edge, so I've left the outer ends unfolded, as they will be anchored by the side seam.

First, stitch down one folded edge of each piece. Next, push up the centers of the elastic strips so that they form small arches just large enough to hold a pen snugly (as shown), and stitch the remaining edges. Test your pen holder to make sure the arches are the right size for a pen or pencil; if they are too loose or too tight, take out the second set of stitches, adjust the elastic, and sew again.
