Make a pencil case

Cut out the fabric pieces as detailed in the cutting guide. Remember to iron on interfacing to the comic book fabric.
Lay a zip on top of a piece of right side up comic fabric, then place a red lining piece, right sides down, underneath the zip and comic piece, matching all raw edges. Pin then stitch together using a zipper foot. Repeat on the other side of the zip. Open out so the comic fabric is on top and the lining underneath. Iron flat then top stitch by the zip, on both sides.
Open the zip halfway. Place both sides together, right sides facing, pin in place then, using a 1cm seam allowance, sew all the way around, leaving a gap to turn through. Cut off the corners and turn out. Press then stitch the gap closed.
