8. Exposed Blanket-Stitch Slip Case
For crafters who love visible handwork, the exposed blanket-stitch sleeve highlights artisanal craftsmanship. Cut two identical 3.5-by-8-inch felt pieces. Align the pieces and work a blanket stitch around three sides using all six strands of embroidery floss in a high-contrast hue, such as turquoise thread on cream felt. Leave the top completely open for a slim, open-top slip pouch suitable for carrying two or three everyday writing utensils.
