Not much sewing (because I'm not that good!) Inspired by the pretty material!

Cut a rectangle of material. Width must be 2 or 3 cm longer then a pencil A quarter of the length will be the height of your pencil case. Use any material but ones that fray less are a little easier to handle.
Fold the two ends in so they meet in the middle and sew along the two vertical edges. Don't sew the edges that meet in the middle!!
Now turn the bigger looking pocket inside out. You will now have one pocket facing you and one not.
Fold in half.
Position so the pocket you turned inside out is on the bottom and the open edges of the pockets are on the top.
Put the pocket on the top inside the pocket on the bottom.
Now fold over the unsewn edge and hem.
You can sew on velcro, buttons or popper. I used Velcro. ANd Finally add decorations such as felted flowers, buttons and beads.
