Speaking of my collection of gel pens, I also made this pouch for them. I couldn’t find black Aida, so I dyed some white Aida with Rit. I came up with the pattern myself. Cross stitch really lends itself to geometric patterns and bright colors. I like the effect. I’m missing some crucial thing about installing zippers, though, because the bag bits at the ends of the zipper are fraying and look really bad. The other thing I don’t like is that I didn’t line it, so the pens sometimes catch on the exposed threads.
