EYEGLASS PATTERNS

EYEGLASS PATTERNS

First make a pattern for the eyeglass case. I used a file folder and draw a rectangle measuring 6” x 6-1/2” and used a coffee cup to trace an arc on one of the corners. Then I cut out the pattern and placed it on top of my fabric.

To complete the case, fold it in half and use a zigzag stitch to sew around the bottom and side edges.

Perfect stocking stuffer, quick gift for a friend or even for yourself (my sunglasses are constantly scratched).

Use up pieces of fabric in your scrap bin!

You will need -

Woven Fabric

Fusible Fleece

Flannel (or other soft lining fabric)

Pattern - 8" wide x 7 3/4" long

Cut 1 fabric, interfacing & flannel (can round corners if you want, i think it's easier to not)

Layer as follows - flannel wrong side up, fusible fleece fusible side up, woven print right side up.

Iron so that the fusible fleece adheres to the woven print.

Finish top edge, i use a rolled hem i find it's the nicest looking and also the easiest to do.

Alternately you could just serge it or fold it over (double) and do a narrow hem.

Serge around the other 3 sides.

Flip right side out and iron (use plenty of steam).

Top stitch. DONE! Enjoy!
