I Rest My Case
Its taken a while to do this but its now done thanks to Sue's effort in cutting the material's, sewing and putting up with changes in design we both saw which were required.
The case was given to me by our next door neighbour it housed felt tip pens from the pre-school she worked at. Its about the size of A2 paper each side, its light construction but deep enough for the pens.
The elastic has been sewn in a way to be strong enough to support and hold the variety of pen sizes in place. It has a total of 120 spaces but will only hold about 70/80 comfortably this depends on Pen sizes.

Sue did 80% of the work. Its use is to display and store what ever fits in there be it pens, cutlery, unpicks, crochet hooks that get made. I got sick of just sticking them in a draw.

Looking good Ray
just make sure you put some foam or something between the two side when it is full and folded up to stop damage between the pens. I also keep my cases in an Aldi cold bag (or a few anway 
) whilst in the car, that way it keeps the heat off them as much as possible.

Neil good idea with the cooler bags this is a bit big for that tho. It is a concern (the heat of the day) as its going to buckl easy in the sun me thinks............might need to find shady tree if and when I take them anywhere.
