How to make a pencil case with your own hands: a step-by-step master class

Step 1. From each type of fabric for the inside and front of the school pencil case, cut 2 rectangles measuring 24 cm x 14 cm. You should have 4 small rectangles of fabric.


Step 2 Once the fabric rectangles are ready, grab the zipper. Place one piece of fabric for the inside of the pencil case (in our case, the black and white striped fabric) in front of you, front side up. Attach the zipper to the edge of the fabric with the fastener facing up.


Step 3 Then, on top of the zipper, attach one piece of fabric, which will be the front of the pencil case, pattern down. Fasten the zipper together with two pieces of fabric with sewing pins.


Step 4 Start sewing along this edge of the zipper that has two pieces of fabric attached to it. When you get close to where the zipper is, stop sewing, tie off the thread, and move the zipper out of your way by opening the zipper. Then sew everything to the end. Turn the pieces of fabric right side up. After flashing it should look like this:


Step 5 Now you have to do the same on the other side of the zipper. Unfold the fabric with the end of the zipper facing you. Take two other pieces of fabric. Lay the fabric for the outer part of the pencil case with the pattern down, and on top of it place another piece of fabric for the inside of the pencil case, right side up. On top of these two pieces of fabric, put the two to which the zipper is already sewn. So the fabric for the inside is on the inside, and the fabric for the outside is on both sides of the inside (one part facing you, the other facing down).

Sew along the zipper, inserting the side of the zipper to be sewn between the two pieces of fabric that are under it.


Step 6 Now take your pencil case fabric and lay it out so that front sides the main (outer) tissue touched each other, and the inner tissue was outside.

Sew along the long, raw edge at the bottom.


Step 7 Then fold the pieces of fabric from which you sew the school pencil case so that the zipper is in the center. Make sure all your layers inside lie flat.


Step 8 Open the zipper in half. Sew each of the raw short sides. You are sewing the ends of the zipper as well, so just make sure it closes properly and everything moves when you sew it.

Now make the side corners in the school pencil case with your own hands. To do this, take one of the four corners and flatten it with your fingers to form a triangle with the side seam just done, going straight into the center of your triangle. Sew along the base of the "triangle" and then cut off the sharp end. Do this on all 4 corners.

Turn the finished pencil case right side out and let your child fill it with their school supplies.

Now you know how to quickly sew a comfortable fabric pencil case for a child with your own hands. Such a wonderful pencil case can become not only an organizer for the office and other school supplies a child, but also a wonderful cosmetic bag for mom, sister or grandmother.
