PEN CASE WITH AN ELASTIC BAND FOR JOURNAL

Sometimes I just need a pen case with my book or notebook. I made the brown one with my up-cycle dress 4months ago. Recently I made another one with the cotton fabric.

Book on the image is about A5 size.

Materials:

Outer fabric L20cm W12cm, cotton

Inner fabric L 20cm W12cm,cotton

zipper 21cm

elastic 22cm

padding/wadding(optional, if you don't have it, the pen case is just a little soft and thin)

arrange the fabric and the zipper, follow the pink line and sew one side of the zipper. If you don't have a sewing machine, just sew it with a needle.

Arrange the fabric refer to the image, now you can see the zipper on one side.

Then fold the fabric and sew the other side of the zipper.

After that flip the fabric. Now you can see the pen case is almost half done.

Sew the both ending of the inner fabric and the wadding/padding together.

Add a elastic and sew the elastic on the both ends.

Use hidden stitch/ invisible stitch sew the outer fabric.

Then it is done.
