Sewing Craft: Pencil Bags

In the 19th century, settlers relied on natural and traditional materials for their daily needs in lieu of plastic. They crafted items such as containers and bags from materials like canvas or denim, durable leather, and natural materials like animal hides and woven plant fibers. These alternatives were not only functional but also reflected the settlers' resourcefulness and ability to work with the materials available in their environment.
