Project by Nicola Hills
You will need:
A 10” zip
4” of elastic
Erasable pen
Basic Sewing kit
Sewing Machine
Stabilser/Bosal Foam
2 x Half Metres of Fabric
Cut 2 - 8” x 4” 2 for the outer, 2 for the lining and 2 bosal foam
(fold fabric in half long side, draw a curve for the bottom of the case see picture below)
How to:
To place the zip sandwich it between the outer and lining fabrics like below.
Use the zipper foot to sew close to the zip.
* I did not use stabiliser in between but you would need to to protect the glasses
Repeat for the other side.
Open out and press.
Top stitch down each side.
With R/S together clip or pin the two outer pieces, then the lining pieces.
Sew all around but leave a 1.5” gap in the lining section to turn out
*Top tip* Un-zip the zip before sewing around!
Turn rightsides out.
Press flat. Sew up the gap in the lining.
Top stitch around the outer fabric and add a zipper pull.
