Sturdy cases in two sizes store and carry pens and pencils, sewing tools, knitting needles, and more. Soft and Stable provides great body and stability and ensures that the cases stand up and hold their shape. When open, the cases convert into desktop stands by folding down their tops, allowing easier access and visibility of contents without sacrificing stability. Mesh pockets on the inside help organize supplies. Each case zips shut for safe and secure storage. The outside of either case may be embellished with an optional ribbon border. The pattern includes complete step-by-step instructions for cases in two sizes. Small: 8.5in H x 3.5in W x 3.5in D when closed, 4.5in H x 3.5in W x 3.5in D when folded down. Large: 14.5in H x 5.5in W x 5.5in D when closed, 8in H x 5.5in W x 5.5in D when folded down. NOTE TO STORES: Flipping Out makes a great class for all levels of sewists, from beginners to more advanced makers. We'd suggest a 3 to 4-hour class for this project. Students should be able to complete one case in class. NOTE: The large case takes a little longer but is probably easier for new beginners.
