Learn how to sew a DIY pencil case with lining and zipper. It can be used not only as a pencil case, but also as a cosmetic pouch or toiletry pouch. The method I am showing this time is to sew the seam allowance of the outer and lining of the pouch together, resulting in the neat inside of the pouch.
