Wow! You're on a roll (no pun intended!), Craig :thumbup: They are beautifully made :puddle:

I loved Craig's wrap so I thought I'd make a similar one but sewn on the machine (thanks to Craig for the material).

This thread was inspirational, so I made one of my own. I would describe its style as "rustic American." What could be more American than an old pair of Levi's?

edit: I hadn't intended to make the pictures quite that small, but oh well. Here's a link to flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/95568151@N06/sets/72157633441680312/

 

edit 2: I hadn't intended for that to become embedded the way it did either, but that's kind of cool so I'll leave it.

Nice work, It still kinda looks like half a leg from a pair of jeans, which I guess is what you were going for. I'm so pleased you found this thread useful. I started out trying to source a pen wrap and have ended up finding a fantastic hobby in making them.

I felt like no one would steal a rolled up pair of jeans from a dorm room. (All my other jeans look like that except without the tie-around, which I'm planning to replace with something nicer looking.)

What a brilliant idea!

I have definitely wanted a pen wrap and what great inspiration I found here! I have to particularly thank Craig Forsyth because he showed me exactly what I was looking for.

 

I'm really happy with how mine came out.

 

I'm really new to the FPN and I have gotten so much great info here, I definitely want to give back. So, I'll be making up another one of these sometime this week and listing it on the Pay It Forward thread.

 

Meanwhile, here's a look at the one I just made.
