2. Sew the first side of the closure
Place the right side of the zipper on the right side of one of the P1 leather pieces.
Hold with sewing clips and sew the piece of leather, the closure and the lining 5 mm from the edge (use the zipper foot). While sewing, raise the presser foot and move the zipper pull so that it does not block the stitching.

 |
You can also do this step in two steps by first sewing the zipper and the leather, then the lining on the zipper.
Place pieces P1 leather and P1 lining on the same side then topstitch 3 mm from the edge.

3. Sew the second side of the closure
Do the same with the second piece P1 leather and lining, on the other side of the zipper. Place the right side of the leather on the right side of the closure, then position the right side of the lining on the back of the closure.
 |
 |
Sew 5mm from the edge.
Then, topstitch 3 mm from the edge.

4. Sew the pencil case
Open the zipper so you can turn the case over at the end. Place the two P1 leather pieces on the same side. Position the two P1 leather pieces correctly, right sides together, edge to edge and hold with sewing clips.
 |
 |
Do the same with the two P1 lining pieces, position them edge to edge, right sides together and hold with sewing clips.
 |
 |
Sew all around 1 cm from the edge to close the bag. Leave an 8 cm opening in the lining to be able to turn the kit inside out.
 |
 |
Cut the corners of the leather part. 
Then, turn the kit over through the opening in the lining.
 |
 |
Close the lining by sewing the opening.
