Step 4
Cut allowances for the details of the pencil case to a width of 2 cm.
Sections for attaching the zipper should be edged with an oblique trim.
Step 5
Measure the width of the zipper (we have it is 3.2 cm).
Fold two strips of fabric in half with the front side inwards and grind into the pipe at a distance of 3.2 cm from the bend (for each pipe to a length of about 5 cm), turn out.
Iron the seam allowances by spreading them along the line of the middle of the pipe.
Step 6
Tighten one end of each pipe by 1 cm and iron it, then put it on the end of the zipper and grind it to the edge.
Step 7
Iron each upper edge of the pencil case detail on the wrong side by 1 cm and sew on the braid of the zipper to the edge.
Leave the zipper open for twisting.
Step 8
Turn the pencil case to the wrong side and grind the side sections from each side at a distance of 1 cm.
Allow seam allowances with a slanting hem.
