Heres the luxe leather version...its actually super quick to make because you dont have to worry about the edges.
The denim one is great, too!
Heres a close-up of the size labels I embroidered on the pockets.

Fold the top edge of the denim over, aligning it with the bottom edge. Press to get it to lie perfectly even, and pin along the edge.


 This is the lower left corner.

Stitch along the raw edges, leaving a 6-inch opening on the left side so you can turn the tool roll to the right side.


 I basted on the pocket using a 1/8-inch seam, then I sewed the front and back together using a 1/2-inch seam...that way you don't have to pull out the basting.

The lower corners are going to be really thick—three layers of denim. Trim the point and a few inches of the seam allowance down to 1/8 inch so you can get a crisp point when you turn it to the right side.


 I like to use a bamboo point turner to poke around in the corner to get it shaped nicely when I turn the fabric to the right side.

JenniferStern writes: Hi Everyone...There are no templates to download for this project. When I first read your comments, I couldn't remember if there were any or not...I did this project the week before I moved into my new house. (It's been a little crazy--between loosing my e-mail address in the transfer--to having no heat because the boiler blew.) Happily, the cable company found my e-mail address, and the heat is on! Please let me know if you need more help.

BUT, I'm really excited about this because a friend wanted me to make a knife roll to store her pro. knives in and I had no idea how to make one. But, I think I can adapt this project.

THANKS for posting this!!
