How to Sew a Pencil Case – Easy Sewing Tutorial. DIY Make a Simple Pencil Case / Easy sewing tutorial.
I used some oil cloth I had which I thought contrasted really well with the zip and I sewed a mini label on in the corner before I started.
You'll need 2 pieces of outer fabric, 2 pieces of lining fabric, a zip and thread (not shown)
Lay in this order before sewing...lining (facing up), zip (facing up) and outer fabric (facing down).
Sew along these 3 using your zipper foot.
Turn over and do the same with the other piece of outer fabric and lining.
Lay the fabric as above with one piece of outer fabric and lining on each side.
Stitch along the top edge of each side. I did this in a bright green thread to contrast against the red.
Open the zip half way.
Line up the 2 pieces of outer fabric and the 2 pieces of lining.
Using your machine, stitch right the way around the outer edge of your layers.
Leave a gap on the lining edge.
Cut your corners diagonally.
Pull the entire pencil case through the opening in the lining and then sew the opening up neatly.
Push the lining back into the piece of outer fabric and your pencil case should be complete!
