Zipper Pencil Case
Summer is over, it is a whole new round of “back-to-school” and “back-to-work” again!!!! I hope you have enjoyed your sun shiny days through out the pass few months; have refreshed and recharged yourself mentally and physically for another round of loooong journey. I don’t have summer vacation since it is all year round of hot sunny days which I usually hide myself from it… Anyway, I just had a great weekend getaway with friends from far, we ate, we adventured, we explored, we chat, and we definitely enjoyed every moment together! Now, I am ready for more challenges…. renovate my new home and make whole lot of crafts to stuff it up.. woohooo!!!
To welcome you back to the craft room of Craft Passion, here is the zipper pencil case pattern and tutorial which I did before my recent weekend getaway. Honestly, this is not suitable for beginner sewer because of the piping and the way I lined it, but intermediate or advance sewer should have no problem in getting it done.
As you can see from the photos, this zipper pencil case has a zipper that opens all the way down from top to the sides. This enable a widely open view that make getting things from the pencil case straightforward. Also, there are internal gussets at the sides to prevent contents from falling out.
This pencil case would make perfect storage for many purpose, pencil case, cosmetic pouch, stationery, accessories, craft tools etc… you name it!!!

I really like this Joanne. I like the invisible gusset – it will prevent the case from opening up flat. This pencil case is really nice. Thanks for posting.

Thank you for all your work! I love mostly all of your tutorials and could be busy every moment. You show great fabric choices, the pictures are awesome, it’s so appreciated.
Like the circle quilting part!! I would love to make this but I’m still intimidated by the gusset…..
Where can you buy the knids of materials you used?
I sourced them all over the world…. perhaps you can buy them from me when I had my shop set up… still progressing
So amazing! I love the design
will definitely purchase this from you when your shop had set up.. hehe

Oh my word, this is fabulous, I’m wondering if I could manage it, I have followed clothes patterns before, I suppose I should just bite the bullet and give it a try for my grandson who is 6.
Thank You.

I love the heck out this tutorial!!!! Very clear pictures. I’ve been sewing for under a year and it’s tutorials like yours that have helped me become better at it. Can’t wait to make it. Thank you!
I m a beginner in sweing and would luv to make this pencil case for my younger sister. Is it possible for u to make video for this project, as I m stuck at few steps and not able to follow the instructions. May be because I m new to sewing and its techniques. Pls help by makin a video as I really want to try this gorgeous pencil case.
Any tips for sewing the zipper and gussets to the main piece? Getting around the rounded edge is REALLY hard and my gusset won’t line up with the main piece
That is perfect, Plz can you make us an gaint accordion wallet plzzzzz.
Hi Nancy, you can always use the same concept to create the wallet.

this is just fascinating!! I’m just a beginner… using my mom’s basic sewing machine. but i’m so inspired by your talent, that i want to get one for myself. May i ask what for your recommendation on a machine that would allow me to sew thicker fabric like this or other project you have here? thanks, so much!! Love your blog
Most sewing machines of reputable brand in the market should be able to sew this pencil case.
If you have a budget, look for those brands that have good service around your area.
I am using Bernina now and I am absolutely happy with it. The mechanism parts are made of metal and it is way better than those using plastic material.
Happy sewing
