As for the Tran: Nope, no better coordination here! ;-) You just couldn't hear me cussing as I stabbed continuously in the dark. :-0MiataGrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00727208043312788510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220865105573981879.post-43802649255397539082022-02-23T16:25:37.655-08:002022-02-23T16:25:37.655-08:00I'll take a look at the buckle, but I doubt it...I'll take a look at the buckle, but I doubt it can be removed. And I do like it neatly buckled when I'm using it rolled. A tradeoff, I guess.MiataGrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00727208043312788510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220865105573981879.post-13744342987867014482022-02-23T16:23:30.975-08:002022-02-23T16:23:30.975-08:00I agree that the leather belt and buckle are much ...I agree that the leather belt and buckle are much more durable than the Tombow's elastic strap. I just need to use it more so it gets a chance to wear out a bit. ;-) MiataGrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00727208043312788510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220865105573981879.post-43246627192689935962022-02-23T11:19:17.833-08:002022-02-23T11:19:17.833-08:00Those pencil caps as spacers are a great idea.

I really think they work better as a customer lure than they do once the product is bought. Don't know if it would work here but I once removed the buckle and put velcro strips on the straps and that improved things a lot.larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499637631503513759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220865105573981879.post-14671927596333154082022-02-23T10:33:25.635-08:002022-02-23T10:33:25.635-08:00I SO wanted this post!

Now I know the truth! And just this morning I noticed several colored pencils getting short enough to disappear in the pencil case. Now I have a hack! And an idea for a new pencil case pattern. Not exactly the same, of course. Different enough to be original...ish.<br />AnneHemmed With Hamstershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15927436464421024142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220865105573981879.post-60842573553198546572022-02-23T10:19:17.119-08:002022-02-23T10:19:17.119-08:00I imagine for the short pencils it might also work...I imagine for the short pencils it might also work to put a pencil cap with a clip, like a Tombow Ippo cap, on it and then clip it into the slot. And I'm thinking the elastic closure on the Tombow case might stretch out too much over time, so maybe the leather buckle is better in the long run. Love the sketch of the pencil roll.Marthanoreply@blogger.com
