A DIY sewing kit for a makeup bag, ready to sew
The instructions are very detailed, with a photo for each key step. You can even download them as a PDF with large, full-color photos at the bottom of the page.
No pattern needed: the seam allowance is already included in the design of each pencil case. So there’s no need to measure or trace anything—just cut the velvet along the edge of the design.
Place the velvet on top of the lining and cut directly around it.

A sewing kit made entirely in France
We work exclusively with printers in France to ensure the highest possible quality for our products.
A sturdy kit
- The outer velvet fabric of the pencil case is water-repellent.
- This velvet is sourced from the furniture industry (for maximum durability). It is very sturdy and extremely wear-resistant. It is thinner, very supple, and sews like a regular fabric.
- The print is colorfast; there is no risk of fading, shrinking, or losing its shape.
Easy maintenance
- Machine wash at 30°C, without spinning or on a low spin cycle (approximately 600–800 rpm maximum).
- Air-dry only.
Kit contents
- 100% polyester microfiber outer fabric
- 100% coated cotton lining
- 25 cm YKK nylon zipper
- Step-by-step illustrated instructions, very detailed
Notes
Our kits are sold under the brand name Atelier des ABCDaires.
The lining fabrics and the color of the zipper (always carefully selected and coordinated with the design) may vary from collection to collection.

I received it yesterday, and it’s a gift.
However, I opened the plastic packaging (which is actually very nice).
The velvet is beautiful, and the pattern is gorgeous.
