Is it time to make a new pencil case?
Pictures and Description
I made pencil cases that is easy to make and practical.
It fits well even if you put scissors
and glue and put a cap on the pencil with an eraser.
It looks prettier if you put a label on it.
Make it any size you want.
Pattern
1cm (⅜") seam allowance included.
(You can download the pattern at the bottom of this post.)
Materials
Linen, Cotton, Non-woven fusible interfacing, No.3 zipper
(L)
How to make
1. Attach the interfacing to the wrong side of the outer fabric.
2. Place the lining on top of it and sew the indentation in the middle.
3. Wrap the upper and lower parts with outer fabric seam allowances and sew them together.
4. Split the zipper and sew on each side.
5. Fold and sew to make a loop(strap).
6. Fold in half, place the folded part inward and sew it.
7. Put the zipper slide, close the zipper, and put it one more time. (Why is my little finger doing that? 😆)
8. Fold in half and sew on both sides. Cut off the extra zippers.
9. Place bias1 on the sewn area and sew again.
10. Wrap the seam allowance and sew one more time. (Fold only the top of the bias)
11. Finish with bias1 on both sides.
12. Fold the bottom and sew it.
13. Wrap both sides with bias2 and sew it.
14. Turn inside out and you're done.

It's easy to make if you don't cut the pink part.
Cut the length of bias1 3cm (1¼in) longer than the above measurements.
After step 12, Cut it out and wrap it with a bias2.
(Look at the shape of the pencil case and cut it leaving a seam allowance.)
I hope it will be of great help in your work.
Have a good one!
