It has been a while since the last time I handstitched something. So when I saw a pencil case that is attached to a notebook in a stationery shop the other time, I thought “Hey, I can make that! (And I can use it as a bookmark too!)” It’s super easy and it takes less than 15 minutes to make one. Scroll through to see the how to!
Karena sudah lama banget ngga menjahit dengan tangan, tangan ini jadi gatal ingin menjahit lagi. Jadi ketika jalan-jalan ke toko stationery dan melihat tempat pensil yang diselipkan ke notes, jadi terpikir ingin membuat sesuatu yang mirip (tapi dengan jahitan tentunya). Tempat pensil ini selain untuk menyimpan alat tulis anda juga dapat digunakan sebagai pembatas buku/notes. Cara membuatnya juga mudah dan hanya membutuhkan waktu yang singkat. Dicoba yuk!
What you need | Yang anda butuhkan:
- Felt or any fabric | Flanel atau kain;
- Snap fastener | Kancing jepret;
- Elastic band | Tali karet;
- Needle & thread | Jarum & benang;
- Scissors | Gunting.
Step 1:
Cut a piece of felt (or fabric of your choice) with the dimension of 5 cm x 35 cm (if your writing tools are longer, you can cut longer). Fold one side about 12 cm up.
Langkah 1:
Gunting sehelai flanel (atau kain pilihan anda) dengan ukuran 5 cm x 35 cm (jika alat tulis anda lebih panjang dari 15 cm, anda bisa menggunakan potongan kain yang lebih panjang). Lipat salat satu sisi ke atas sebanyak 12 cm.
Step 2:
Close stitch the sides.
Langkah 2:
Jahit tutup bagian samping.
Step 3:
Sew the fastener on the cover and the case.
Langkah 3:
Jahit kancing pada tutup dan tempat pensil.
Step 4:
It’s optional but you can glue or sew an embellishment on the cover to cover the stitch from the fastener beneath.
Langkah 4:
Langkah ini tidak diharuskan tapi anda bisa menambahkan hiasan pada tutup tempat pensil untuk menutupi benang jahitan kancing tadi.
Step 5:
Add the elastic band at the back, glue or sew.
Langkah 5:
Tambahkan tali karet pada bagian belakang, dengan lem atau jahitan.
Step 6:
Fill in your writing tools and you are done!
Langkah 6:
Masukkan alat tulis anda dan tempat pensil ini siap dipakai!
To use it as a bookmark, just slide the elastic band into the page your are using and that’s it! Hope you like it!
Untuk menggunakannya sebagai pembatas buku, cukup selipkan tali karet anda pada halaman yang sedang anda pakai. Semoga anda suka!

This is awesome, I’m going to make quite a few of these in different sizes, so they fit all the different sized books in the library, plus the fact that they will be great to hold cutlery too, so when I need a spoon to stir coffee or tea, I won’t need to use a plastic one.
Thank you for a fab tutorial.
