Free pattern: Shark pencil case, with a zipper for teeth

My tween-aged daughter just discovered the Sharknado movies last week, so we are alllll about sharks at our house right now. She would totally go nuts for this shark pencil case by Becky from Patchwork Posse. The zipper makes his sharp sharky teeth! The cuteness!! Lucky for me, she shares a free pattern and a tutorial showing how to make it. Click the link below to go to Patchwork Posse for the pattern:
