2. A fabric pencil case with a lining and a fastener in front: a master class
Due to the reinforcement with non-woven and lightning in front, such a pencil case holds its shape well. Another plus is spaciousness. If you want a smaller pencil case, resize the parts and take a shorter zipper.
You will need:
- 2 types of fabric, the main one and for the lining (you can also use a shred of the third color to finish the zipper);
- glue one-sided non-woven;
- zipper 30 cm long or more;
- iron;
- water soluble glue (glue stick is suitable);
- scissors;
- sewing machine and thread.
Work sequence:
1. Cut out the details of the pencil case. We need 1 rectangle from the main fabric 30x35 cm in size, 1 the same rectangle from the lining fabric, 1 the same from non-woven fabric. Also - two rectangles 2.5x7.5 cm.
2. Glue the part from the main fabric with non-woven fabric.
3. Fold both small rectangles in half, as shown in the photo, inside out and secure the folds with an iron.
4. Open the zipper halfway. Glue the rectangles to the ends of the zipper as shown in the photo.
5. Route the folds of the rectangles as shown in the photo. Make stitches at the beginning and end of the line.
6. Now glue the rectangles, as shown in the photo, and cut the "tails" of the zipper on both sides.
7. Fold the details of the lining and the main fabric face to face and place a zipper between them, as shown in the photo. Chip with pins.
8. Lay the stitch back 0.5 cm from the edge.
9. Unscrew the parts as shown in the photo and secure with an iron.
10. Wrap the parts, forming a pencil case, fold as shown in the photo, and pin together with pins.
11. Lay the line, departing from the edge of 0.5 cm, and turn out the pencil case.
12. Stitch the seams.
13. Fold the pencil case so that about 2.5 cm remains from the zipper on top and secure the folds with an iron.
14. Lay the stitches on the sides, departing from the edge 1.5−2 cm, then trim the edges with scissors.
15. Turn the pencil case inside out, straighten the corners well. Lay the side stitches as shown in the photo.

3. Pencil case with zipper from oilcloth: master class
Advantages of oilcloth: the pencil case is waterproof, and if the felt-tip pen or pen accidentally opens inside, they will not stain the contents of the briefcase or bag. Also, the bonus of this material is that it does not crumble and it is easy to work with it.
You will need:
- colored oilcloth;
- lightning (focus on the desired length of the pencil case);
- a manual needle;
- scissors;
- sewing machine and thread.
Work sequence:
1. Measure your zipper and cut 2 pieces of oilcloth. The length of each should be equal to the length of the zipper (for example, in this case - 20 cm), width - 10 cm.
2. Attach a zipper to one of the oilcloth parts, folding them as shown in the photo.
3. Stitch the zipper.
4. Do the same with the second half of the zipper and the second piece of oilcloth.
5. Fold the parts face in and stitch around the perimeter. Make stitches at the beginning and end of the line.
