How to make

Step 1

Layer two A4 colour felt sheets.

Step 2

Measure 8cm into the sheet and make a pencil mark.

Step 3

Fold up the other side to this 8cm mark and pin in place.

Step 4

On the unfolded side, using a compass mark out curved corners, and cut them out using scissors.

Step 5

Begin to sew around the edges – this will be using a blanket stitch. Place the needle through the back of the top layer.

Step 6

Loop around to the back, and put the needle through the same hole, leaving a loop.

Step 7

Put the needle through this loop and pull. Begin the next stitch by putting the needle into the back again and leaving a loop.

Step 8

Repeat this stitch until all is sewn together, leaving the folded bottom as this is already sealed!

Step 9

Mark 2in into the top and side of the top flap of the pencil case.

Step 10

Place a button on this mark, and make another mark on either side of the button.

Step 11

Cut from mark to mark in a straight line, and check that the button fits!

Step 12

Stitch around the button hole in small loops to secure and strengthen.

Step 13

Make a mark within the buttonhole when the pencil case is closed to see where the buttons need to be sewn.

Step 14

Stitch the buttons onto these marks.
