Cute and elegant pencil cup in the shape of a corset would embellish any desk :)
Great project to use your scraps. It does involve some stitching but can be made in one night (Sunday evening project).

Size: 4.5" high, 3.5" wide, 2.8" deep
(If you want a big wearable corset, I have one too).

Materials:

Scraps! The important part is that thickness should be 8-9 oz and up, it needs a good structure. Play with the colors - mine is all the same color just because I didn’t have many options in this weight. The base is 10-12 oz, I’d say the heavier the better. If you worry you make it double :)

You will also need some lace, I used 4.5 oz lace I made with my lace maker, use anything including cotton laces or ribbons.

Hardware:

None

Tools:

Scissors, knife (paper knife or rotary cutter would also work).
Stitching irons: my pattern is made for 5 SPI stitching irons (5 stitches per inch).
Needles - according to your thread size, a pair of harness needles.
Mallet, hole punch.
Burnishing agent and burnisher (optional but desirable)

Pattern is designed for hand stitching.

Formats: A4 and USLetter.

The pattern has stitching holes marked for 5 SPI stitching irons (5 stitches per inch, or approximately 5.2 mm). 5 mm stitching irons made by metric system sometimes fit, sometimes they don’t (depending on manufacturer). If you have 5 mm irons and the spacing seems a tad too large for them you can print the pattern at 96.2% scale. I advise to print one page and try your irons to see how they fit before printing the entire pattern.
