New tote for the new school year

I can't believe I forgot to post this tote here.
Better late than never :)

I made it for a friend's daughter who wants to be different.
 Stay out of the crowd!
The colorful pencil is standing away from other.

The back is recycled denim.

The pencil are easy to made. Paper pieced block is the same for all of them, but with different length.
Oh, I have made two of them mirror image to have variety of looks.

It is a kid game to draw a block .

Easy to combine different length pencils in a whole block to use it as a panel in a tote, pouch or a cushion.

Happy sewing!
