With my super simple tutorial, you can sew a cute little pouch out of your favorite fabric in no time at all.

Sewing a pencil case: What you need for it

• 22 * 23 cm outer fabric (e.g., this lovely horse fabric^*)

• Place the lining fabric with the wrong side facing up.
• Place the interfacing and outer fabric on top with the right side facing up.
• Finish the edges with an overlock or zigzag stitch.

• Now prepare the longer edges with Stylefix for the zipper.

• Place the zipper with the pretty side facing up on the edge.
• Press down firmly and sew close to the edge with a straight stitch using a zipper foot.

• Place the edges of the zipper together and mark the center.
• Place the zipper exactly on the mark and pin in place.
• Sew with a straight stitch.

• Cut off the excess zipper end and finish the edge with bias tape.
• Fold in the ends flush.
• Then flip over, fold the bias tape over, and topstitch.

• Sew the open edges of the bias tape together with a few stitches using color-matching thread.

Et voilá! Finished!
