Preparation of parts. According to the scheme, cut one yellow rectangle 25x32 cm from yellow fabric and polka dot fabric.
The yellow rectangle will serve as the cover, and the green will serve as the base for the flap and pocket.
To make the last of green fabric, cut a rectangle measuring 30x34 cm and bend it in length along the front side. The result is a blank for a pocket measuring 15x34 cm. For the valve, cut a 16x32 cm rectangle, which then fold along, but on the wrong side, and, departing from each edge by 1.5 cm, cut the corners.
The result is an equilateral trapezoid with bases 32 and 29 cm long and 8 cm high. Assembly of parts. Take the tape 32 cm long and sew it to the cover detail.
Strengthen the detail of the pocket from the inside with a non-woven fabric, fold it along the fold line and lay a longitudinal decorative seam.
Take the valve part and lay straight stitch (a) along the sides and short base of the trapezoid.
Then twist the part, iron it and again along the same sides lay a line, but already decorative (b). The upper base can not be closed, because at the final stage of assembly, two fixing seams will pass along it. With tailor pins, pin the pocket part to the base part (green rectangle).
According to the scheme, the length of the pocket part was 34 cm, and the base was 32 cm. A difference of 2 cm is necessary to create volume for the sections for pencils. Therefore, securing the pocket on the base, first trim the edges of both parts, and then evenly distribute the fabric. Now make pencil boxes. To do this, lay straight seams across the width of the pocket with an interval of 1-1.6 cm. Be sure to make fastenings at the beginning and at the end of the stitches (a seam 0.7-0.9 cm long in the reverse mode of the sewing machine). Pin the valve part to the base.
Make fabric ties. To do this, cut a rectangle 55 cm long and 4 cm wide. Fold it in the middle of the widow and bend it to the fold line of the edge. Sew a straight line or decorative stitch around the edge. As ties, you can also use a cord, ribbon or knitted chain.
Sew the stitches to one of the short sides of the base.
Strengthen the cover from the inside with non-woven or iron padded polyester. Cover the part with pocket and flap with the cover part, aligning the edges of all parts. Make sure that the front sides of both workpieces are inside. Lay a straight line along the perimeter of the scroll-case, leaving a hole for turning out on one of the short sides.
Turn out and unstick the pencil case, and iron the edges of the hole inward.
It remains only to lay a decorative line along the perimeter of the scroll-case and put pencils in it.
A bright pencil-case for pencils is ready!
