Step 3 Fold the fabric and join the remaining zipper edge to the other edge of the fabric as in the picture below. Sew the pieces together. Topstitching is optional but it makes the finished pencil case look better. This project was inspired by something I saw in a magazine a long time ago. It looked so simple that I had to try making my own!

This is a similar pouch as the boxy one – just that it is smaller and the construction is a little different. There is no bulk inside.

No measuring, just close the pencil case flap and see where you need it. Bamm! You've nailed it! Now, when hemming the flap end, I want you to sew two straight stitches 4 to 6 mm apart - see the photo. You'll soon see why!
