Look what i made...

.. a new pencil case!

This is my first time sewing a zip in, so its a little wonky, but i don't care as its only going to hold my pencils.

 Spotty lining!

and it fits alllllll my stuff :) i am really pleased with how this turned out. I used a tutorial from Lisa Lam's 'The Bag Making Bible' and this was my first try. I know the outside fabric isn't too exciting but it was the most heavy dutyish fabric i had.

Oh and here is a pic of my helper, asleep on my fabric.
